Our primary mission is to fix what is broken as well as fine tune what is already working. This will be handled through a variety of methods:  
'''MapRaid SC Beachcomber Raid'''
* Handling URs, PURs, and MPs (and fixing already approved places)
will be '''21 June at 17:00 UTC (1:00 PM EDT) through 28 June 2015'''.
* Fixing streets (correcting elevation, turns, extra nodes, alternate names, etc)
The map raid will be divided into
* Routing corrections (usually found in URs or by randomly attempting to route between points and looking for irregularities)
several
* FC errors (but do not downgrade without getting local guidance! See FC warning immediately below.) - FC will mostly be handled by rank 5/6 editors in this raid.
groups, one for each section. Each group will have both local and senior editors, one of which will be the "Group leader" - listed in blue below. Please direct all questions to your group leaders. The raid hosts will be available across all areas for added support.


==Local Hosts==
You will also be given a super region.  Your goal as raiders should be to get your assigned area as complete and through as possible.  Please don't edit outside your assign area unless directed to or with permission from a local host.
== Mission ==
Our mission is to handle

Please read the entire MapRaid wiki. If you are still uncertain what to do about something you see on the map, please ask your group leader '''Thank You for your help with the map.'''


==Important!==
<!-- keep this list short. link to other pages where possible. emphasize the important things-->
=== What NOT to do ===
<div style="background-color:red; color: white;border: solid  #4C0000 2px; padding:5px; border-radius:15px">
;Mass Edit
:DO NOT perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. We want to know who fixed what so we can understand how problems got resolved.


<!-- {{Mbox|type=critical|text='''{{red|Please {{u|DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING IN OR NEAR A THEME PARK!!!}}}} It does not matter what rank you are, do not touch it. This means, no editing roads, URs, PURs, MPs, or anything else in or near a theme park/major attraction. If you find anything wrong, please ask one of the SM [[#Local Hosts|Local Hosts]].'''}}<br />
;Add wayfinders
:If you are 100% certain a wayfinder is needed, please ask HavanaDay, CrazyCaveman, or ialangford.</div>


'''Please do not alter any of the following roads:
===Group areas===
*I-275 in Tampa, FL
You have editing access to a super region. Please stay within your assigned group area. If your group area is completely done, your group leader will assign you to one of the other groups for the remainder of the raid. Please use the mapraid overlay extension to keep track of your group area boundaries.
*US-19 in Clearwater/St.Pete, FL area
*Selmon Expressway in Tampa, FL
*I-4 anywhere in South Carolina
*I-595 in Broward County / S Fl
*I-95 in Broward County / S Fl
*Dolphin Expressway in Dade County / S Fl
*Palmetto Expressway in Dade County / S Fl


If you think you have found an issue for any of the above, please consult with a [[#Local Hosts | Local Host]] PRIOR to any changes. All of these roads are under heavy construction, or have complex restrictions.
===Mapraid UR Rules===
-->
We will follow the [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor#The_resolution_process_.2F_Etiquette|usual US UR etiquette]] with one exception: During the Map raid, the wait time is reduced to  
4
days.


'''Please do not alter any of the following road ''types'' without first consulting a [[#Local Hosts|Local Host]] (unless changes are being made to match Functional Classification (FC))''':  Freeway, Ramp, Major Highway, minor Highway, Primary Street. You may edit these roads, but do not change the type of the segment (excluding FC work).  Confirmation should be obtained before making changes to any of these road types that go '''''against''''' FC.
Do not close URs if the UR contains a tag such as [NOTE], [CLOSURE], or any other [MESSAGE]. Ask the editor who created the tag.


'''Please do not mass-edit''' Do not perform edits which will affect large numbers of segments at once. The edit history of segments is highly valuable in the process of solving URs. Mass editing effectively mass erases this history, permanently.
[[File:Jct 4 offset align.png|frameless|right|100px]]
=== Micro-Doglegs ===
We use [[Glossary#Micro-dogleg|micro-doglegs]] to control turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions. Zoom in very close to see the closely-spaced geometry nodes. Preserve them.


'''Anything locked at 5 or 6?''' Please check with a local editor before making changes.<br />
===Cities===
If you are a rank 5 or 6 editor - consider keeping highlights active for locks 5 and 6.
In South Carolina, all incorporated cities and towns are mapped as cities.  City names should only be added to segments located on or within the borders of the city or town.


'''Close nodes''' We make extensive use of the "[[Glossary#mDL | micro-dogleg]]" technique, where a geometry node is carefully placed, at full zoom, directly next to a junction node, in order to set the angle to create a desired Turn/Stay/Exit prompt. Please watch for these if you move any junction node, and be sure to recreate the same angle at the new location.
We also will map some CDP’s (Census-Designated Places) depending on the local zip code.  When one goes to the [USPS Zip Code Lookup], one can search cities by zip code.  When a zip code is typed into the search, the system will return multiple names.  The first name is the Zip Code’s default city, after that other recognized city names, and finally a list of unacceptable city names.  If a CDP’s name is the same as a default or recognized city name, it should be mapped to the CDP’s declared boundaries; if a CDP’s name is an unacceptable name or not listed, it should not be mapped.


==Local Guidance==
Some military bases may also be mapped as cities in South Carolina. Do not try to add or remove military city polygons.


===Functional Classification===
No unincorporated communities that are not CDP’s are mapped in South Carolina, regardless of Zip Codes.


'''Functional Class''': You can get the most recent FC maps directly from the [http://info.scdot.org/sites/GIS/SitePages/FunctionalClassSearch.aspx SCDOT website] or in [https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwoyRfqh95SBX3YxMU96T1N1UlE&usp=sharing this Google Drive folder].
For place addresses, the city name should match the name of the city or town it is located in. If located in a CDP that is mapped because of a Zip Code, the place should use that name. If located in a CDP that is not mapped or other unincorporated areas, the place should use the default city of its Zip Code.


In the United States, we set our road types using a national standard called Functional Classification (FC). You can read a detailed explanation in our [[Road_types/USA#Functional_classification|Road Type Wiki]]
=== Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC) ===


'''SC DOT functional classification classifies roads as'''
In
*An Interstate, Freeway, or Expressway is a {{Freeway}}.
South Carolina
*A Principal Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
, we follow the general [[Road_types_usa#Quick_reference_chart|US standards for road types]] based on the hybrid rule of FC and Route Type.
*A US Highway (US-##) classified as a Minor Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
*A Minor Arterial is a {{Minor Highway}}.
*A State Highway (SC-##) classified as a Collector is a {{Minor Highway}}.
*A Major or Minor Collector is a {{Primary Street}}.
*All other roads are to be classified as {{Street}}.


=== Road Locking Standard ===
Some notes:
{{Lock Standard State|SC}}
* South Carolina Highways: '''SC-###'''.
* State highway secondary system '''S-46-18''' -- used as alternate name only.
** The route number is a combination of county code (46) and road number (18)
** If there is no other name on the sign, then the primary name should be '''Rd 18'''
** If an interstate exit says '''County Rd 18''', it is actually for a state secondary
* County Road: '''CR-537''', '''CR-4''' are usually not signed. Only use this as the primary name if it appears on signs.
** If it is called '''County Rd XXX''' it is '''NOT''' a county road -- it is usually a state secondary route (see above)
* For SC and S numbers ONLY, use the [http://www.scdot.org/getting/streetFinder.aspx SCDOT streetfinder]
* You can [[South_Carolina#Naming|read more about road naming in South Carolina]]
*If a road has more than one name follow the standard for [[Road_Naming_(USA)#Concurrent_names|Concurrent names on US roads]].


<!-- ===Elevation===
* Where roads cross divided roadways, the section crossing the median should have no name.  The "none" box should be checked. [[Navigation_instructions_for_unnamed_segments#Connecting_street_between_the_lanes_of_a_divided_highway|Read more about a connecting street between the lanes of a divided highway]].
In general, all freeways should have an elevation of ground.  Roads running over or under the freeways will have an elevation of +1 or -1.  Where two freeways cross, the overpass should generally have +1 elevation. More complicated junctions may need more complicated treatment; apply the principal of "freeway defines ground level whenever possible" and keep elevations as sensible as possible. Remember that this region is not very hilly.
-->


===UR & MP Guidance===
===Road Locks===
{{Locking Standard|lede=&nbsp;|caption=South Carolina Coastal Segment Locks
|Fwy=5
|MH=4
|mH=3
|PS=2
}}


Responding to Update Requests (URs), Place Update Requests (PURs), and Map Problems (MPs) will be the primary focus of the MapRaid teams. Please make sure to follow the guidance on dealing with URs, PURs, and MPs as they are clearly explained in the [[UR|UR wiki page]]. Be especially careful to always leave a comment when closing a UR to explain why you are closing it, or how you fixed it. ''If there is no problem with the map to fix, don't mark it as solved, mark it as "Not Identified".''<br />
===Places===
Please bring places up to standard -- correct names, categories, addresses, locations, and remove inappropriate photos. Follow the US standard for [[Places|places]], except as noted below.


'''Our only variation for the MapRaid from the [[UR|general guidance on handling URs]], is that we are reducing the 7 day wait periods to 4 days.''' If you need to ask the reporter a question, you still must comment and wait 4 days, then if no response, put another comment as to why you are closing the UR before closing as "Not Identified". If you are able to fully diagnose and fix the problem, then comment what the fix was, and close it as "Solved".
====Chain Harmonization Sheet====
:The name spellings in the following sheet have been standardized for chains or franchises so that Wazers will receive consistent results when searching in the client. Please use them when you edit one of these chain or franchise businesses. Websites and descriptions have also been included for many of them. If you have any thoughts on a effective and short description for a location please let us know.


'''We will not be sending ''reminder'' comments after the 4 days.''' We send one comment asking for info, if there is no response after 4 days, close the UR. Please try to solve the UR, if that's not possible mark it as ''Not Identified''. ''(We should still be sending a closing comment before closing, and it's OK to send follow up comments if you need additional information after the first response.)''
*Missing Chains
:If you don't find the business you're looking for, please  [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bxgK_20Jix2ahbmUvY1qcY0-RmzUBT6KbE5kjDEObF8/viewform '''use this form'''] to submit the missing information and [https://www.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&username=ialangford&subject=Place%20Name%20Harmonization%20-%20%22Place%22 '''PM ialangford'''] and replace "Place" with the one you added.


Please keep UR response comments to a minimum, short and to the point. Aim for no more than 3-4 lines total. The [[#Recommended Tools|UrComments script]] already has a long list of canned UR responses which have been vetted by a group of senior editors.

===Place Editing===
Places from both editors and trusted users have become a major issue. Misspelled names, wrong categories, missing addresses ''(EVERY business place should have an address!!)'', poor location, and incorrectly assigned photos are all over the map. Use the powerful [[#Recommended Tools|Place Browser (link below)]] and the information on the [[Southeast#Places_.28formerly_Landmarks.29|'''Place editing''']] section of the Southeast wiki to get these places corrected.


The following exceptions to the national guidance are NOT mapped in SC:
* Use the [//w-tools.org/PlaceBrowser?group=MapRaidSouthCarolina Places Browser] to help you catch possible mistakes.
*Please lock places to 3 once you have corrected all of the following:
** Destination point
** Categories
** Address
** Name


====Exceptions to the US standards for places: ====
The following are NOT mapped in South Carolina:
*interchanges/junctions
*interchanges/junctions
*water (if a major body of water that is missing from the map, ask the RC or an SM)

Please use good judgement when approving photos. Any photo which has nothing to do with the actual place, reject. This is including, but not limited to body parts, car parts, bathrooms, children, & animals. If you're not sure, please ask one of the senior editors.


'''Gas Stations'''<br>
====County Maps====
Gas Stations should be locked to level 3 but, only after all data fields in the gas station have been filled. At least ensure that Brand, Name and Address have information. Remember to ask a [[#Local Hosts|local host]] if you need help identifying gas station information.

{{note|a|a|Need subscription}}


For editors below rank 3, once you have completely filled out a gas station with the minimum required information, please lock to your level and then ask for a lock request.
{{note|b|b|No online maps available}}
 
</div>
Finally, DO NOT USE THE BRAND "UNBRANDED". If it is a no brand gas station, just leave the brand field blank.
 
'''Places Locking Standard'''
*Lock at rank 5: hospitals, universities, park and ride lots, arenas, airports.
*Lock at 3: any other place that has at least a correct category, correct name, and correct address with house number..
*If you cannot lock high enough because of rank, lock as high as you can, and get help from a higher-ranked editor to lock properly.  You can keep a personal list of [[Permalink]]s to share with the other editor.
 
===Toll Roads===
 
All toll roads in South Carolina are properly marked. DO NOT enable/disable the toll road checkbox on any road that is a Major Highway or Freeway without checking with one of the [[#Local Hosts|local hosts]].
 
===Construction===
 
There may be some roads which are not on the editor, so if you see a missing road, see if there is an actual neighborhood by turning on the GPS tracks. There are always a large number of major construction projects in process. These construction projects can cause frequent intermittent road closures. Many closures change daily and cause great numbers of URs to appear. When handling URs in one of these areas, be aware that reports of "Turn not allowed", "Missing road", "Wrong driving direction" are common, but may not indicate a map problem that can be fixed, because the physical road situation will change before our edits can take effect.
 
===U-turns===
 
In South Carolina, U-turns are allowed unless specifically denied by signage. In general we can confirm, lock or "harden" U-turns (click to remove the Purple question mark indicating a soft turn -- see [[Turn_restrictions#Turn_restrictions|the Wiki]]).
 
===Special Road Types===
 
All your questions can be answered here concerning Alleys, Non-driveable, Emergency/DOT, Ferries, and Railroads: [[Southeast#Special_Roads|Special Roads]]
 
===Cameras===
 
Speed and red light cameras are illegal in South Carolina; do not approve any and remove any that have been approved.
 
===Private Installations===
 
Military Bases - Please contact {{Username|txemt}} or {{Username|driving79}} if you need to update a military base in South Carolina.
 
Gated Neighborhoods - South Carolina maps gated neighborhoods with the resident approach. Meaning, map the neighborhood if you were a resident, and had access to the neighborhood if you were one. Please contact [[#Local Hosts|Local Hosts]] if you have any questions on how to map this correctly.
 
DO NOT MAP THE GUARD/GATE HOUSE AS A PLACE AREA OR POINT for a neighborhood.

=== Unlock and Lock Requests ===


Unlock and lock requests should be handled in your teams slack channel. Each team has at least one rank 5 editor, most have more.  
WME chat can also be used. The [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=95038 WME Chat addon] is recommended.
 
Due to the close group and rapid time frame for editing, we can accomplish things much faster if we handle it all in-house. There is no need to post unlock requests to the forum for MapRaid! related edits.
 
Unlock requests should include the permalink preferably without layers, the changes you would like to make, and the reasoning behind the changes you'd like to make.

We need local boots on the ground to check things. Please add requests for locals to go and scout things in person, as in on the road.
<br style="clear: all;" />
Some examples when this would be used include to check and see if:
* The street view is accurate,
* A road is really closed,
* A turn really allowed/prohibited, etc.

===Place Name Harmonization===
Some editors really let their bright side out and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident during a concerted group effort with high-density editing that happens during a MapRaid!. When editors of all ranks work closely with each other and the Champs, this really lets everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skill and effort.
These name spellings are standardized so that Wazers will receive consistent results when searching in the client. Please use them when you edit one of these chain or franchise businesses.  


If you don't find the business you're looking for, please  [missing_form '''use this form'''] to submit the missing information.  
When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and showing knowledge of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from managed area size increase, to a rank increase, or even a new role.

 Registration for the MapRaid! is now closed. To hear about future MapRaids please join the MapRaid #Slack. has begun on 2015-06-21, Sunday. 00:00 UTC. The raid will last for roughly 7 days.


MapRaid SC Beachcomber Raid will be 21 June at 17:00 UTC (1:00 PM EDT) through 28 June 2015. The map raid will be divided into several groups, one for each section. Each group will have both local and senior editors, one of which will be the "Group leader" - listed in blue below. Please direct all questions to your group leaders. The raid hosts will be available across all areas for added support.

You will also be given a super region. Your goal as raiders should be to get your assigned area as complete and through as possible. Please don't edit outside your assign area unless directed to or with permission from a local host.

Mission

Our mission is to handle

  • Functional Classification
  • Places, especially in resort areas.
  • URs, MPs, and general map verification

Mapraid managers

Every editor rank 3 and up from the state who has AM area and has been active recently and is participating in this MR will be listed as a host.

Editor Location Roles
orbitc(6) [PM [Help]]  Regional Coordinator
Map Raid Organizer
HavanaDay(6) [PM [Help]]  Map Raid Organizer
crazycaveman(5) [PM [Help]]  Map Raid Organizer
ialangford(5) [PM [Help]]  Map Raid Organizer

About this map raid

Please read the entire MapRaid wiki. If you are still uncertain what to do about something you see on the map, please ask your group leader Thank You for your help with the map.

What NOT to do

Mass Edit
DO NOT perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. We want to know who fixed what so we can understand how problems got resolved.
Add wayfinders
If you are 100% certain a wayfinder is needed, please ask HavanaDay, CrazyCaveman, or ialangford.

Group areas

You have editing access to a super region. Please stay within your assigned group area. If your group area is completely done, your group leader will assign you to one of the other groups for the remainder of the raid. Please use the mapraid overlay extension to keep track of your group area boundaries.

Mapraid UR Rules

We will follow the usual US UR etiquette with one exception: During the Map raid, the wait time is reduced to 4 days.

Do not close URs if the UR contains a tag such as [NOTE], [CLOSURE], or any other [MESSAGE]. Ask the editor who created the tag.

Micro-Doglegs

We use micro-doglegs to control turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions. Zoom in very close to see the closely-spaced geometry nodes. Preserve them.

Cities

In South Carolina, all incorporated cities and towns are mapped as cities. City names should only be added to segments located on or within the borders of the city or town.

We also will map some CDP’s (Census-Designated Places) depending on the local zip code. When one goes to the [USPS Zip Code Lookup], one can search cities by zip code. When a zip code is typed into the search, the system will return multiple names. The first name is the Zip Code’s default city, after that other recognized city names, and finally a list of unacceptable city names. If a CDP’s name is the same as a default or recognized city name, it should be mapped to the CDP’s declared boundaries; if a CDP’s name is an unacceptable name or not listed, it should not be mapped.

Some military bases may also be mapped as cities in South Carolina. Do not try to add or remove military city polygons.

No unincorporated communities that are not CDP’s are mapped in South Carolina, regardless of Zip Codes.

For place addresses, the city name should match the name of the city or town it is located in. If located in a CDP that is mapped because of a Zip Code, the place should use that name. If located in a CDP that is not mapped or other unincorporated areas, the place should use the default city of its Zip Code.

Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC)

In South Carolina , we follow the general US standards for road types based on the hybrid rule of FC and Route Type.

Some notes:

  • South Carolina Highways: SC-###.
  • State highway secondary system S-46-18 -- used as alternate name only.
    • The route number is a combination of county code (46) and road number (18)
    • If there is no other name on the sign, then the primary name should be Rd 18
    • If an interstate exit says County Rd 18, it is actually for a state secondary
  • County Road: CR-537, CR-4 are usually not signed. Only use this as the primary name if it appears on signs.
    • If it is called County Rd XXX it is NOT a county road -- it is usually a state secondary route (see above)
  • For SC and S numbers ONLY, use the SCDOT streetfinder
  • You can read more about road naming in South Carolina
  • If a road has more than one name follow the standard for Concurrent names on US roads.

Places

Please bring places up to standard -- correct names, categories, addresses, locations, and remove inappropriate photos. Follow the US standard for places, except as noted below.

Chain Harmonization Sheet

The name spellings in the following sheet have been standardized for chains or franchises so that Wazers will receive consistent results when searching in the client. Please use them when you edit one of these chain or franchise businesses. Websites and descriptions have also been included for many of them. If you have any thoughts on a effective and short description for a location please let us know.
  • Missing Chains
If you don't find the business you're looking for, please use this form to submit the missing information and PM ialangford and replace "Place" with the one you added.

View this list full-screen in Google Sheets


  • Use the Places Browser to help you catch possible mistakes.
  • Please lock places to 3 once you have corrected all of the following:
    • Destination point
    • Categories
    • Address
    • Name

Exceptions to the US standards for places:

The following are NOT mapped in South Carolina:

MapRaid Promotions

Some editors really let their bright side out and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident during a concerted group effort with high-density editing that happens during a MapRaid!. When editors of all ranks work closely with each other and the Champs, this really lets everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skill and effort.

When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and showing knowledge of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from managed area size increase, to a rank increase, or even a new role.

Watch here for results of promotions during and after the raid.
