The Waze forum is a great place to find answers to previously asked questions and also a place to ask new ones. Below are links to the forums specific to West Virginia.


* West Virginia section of Waze forum
=== "Speed limit not seeing it", ===
* The Mid Atlantic region forum
* The USA section of Waze Forum
* The USA segment unlock requests


''Area Managers for West Virginia can be found in the table below.''
Volunteer responding - Our street view indicates XX mph. Has the speed limit changed recently? Thanks.


''New editors should consider checking into the formal mentoring program available at no charge.''
=== "Road Closed", ===


=== Waze West Virginia Google Hangout (GHO) ===
Volunteer responding - Would you please let us know the following; What road is closed?; between which intersections is this road closed; Do you know how long this road is scheduled to be closed? Thanks!


We've created a Google Hangout (GHO) just for West Virginia. If you are editing in WV and have not already been invited, please send a PM to [https://www.waze.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=16973197 Stephenr1966] and/or [https://www.waze.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=16946130 roadtechie] with your email address so that we can invite you to the hangout.
=== "Bad App No Biscuit", ===


=== West Virginia User Report Management Response Timeline ===
Unfortunately, in this situation, there is nothing we can change in the map to address your issue. Since it is an app issue you can try the following.


''(NOTE: all day values are relative to the date the FIRST editor response is sent to the reporter)''
1) If that route is a very long distance, sometimes breaking the route into shorter drives can help.


'''Day 0'''
2) If you are connecting and disconnecting from Wifi Hotspots while driving, disable WiFi to force Cell Phone Data only.


The first editor who is able to respond to UR should attempt to resolve the UR. If they are successful, they should comment as such in the UR and mark it closed. If more information from the reporter is required to make progress towards closure, a response should be sent to the reporter containing the information needed for resolution.
3) Make sure you are using the "high accuracy GPS" setting.


'''Day 4+'''
4) Shut Down Waze completely (from background running apps too!) and restart.


Polite reminders should be sent to reporters who have not responded to the initial at any time, provided at least four full days have elapsed since the initial response was sent
5) RE-boot your phone and restart waze


'''Day 8+'''
6) Remove Waze from your phone and re-install.


URs may be noted as closed due to lack of reporter response at any time, provided at least four full days have elapsed since the followup message was sent.
You can also report this to https://support.google.com/waze/answer/6276841


'''Shared Ownership'''
=== "Bad Google" ===


All editors are considered to have equal ownership of and responsibility for all URs in West Virginia. All editors, regardless if they have worked the UR previously, may send any of the responses describe above, provided they adhere the minimum time spacing guidance between responses. All editors are explicitly encouraged to attempt resolving URs at any point during their lifecycle, even if others happen to be actively working it at the same time.
Volunteer responding - Added your address to the waze database. Asked Google Maps to update their pin location (source of error).  Should update within a few days. You will need to delete this address from your history/favorites/home/work location and search for it again once it updates otherwise you may be sent to the wrong coordinates. Thanks!


'''Notes'''
=== "All Is Well", ===


The ideal timeline for UR response is when responses are sent as early as the minimum required time spacing between messages permits; experience has reliably shown that UR response rates are much higher when editors are able to send responses promptly. The 4+ day followup / reminder has shown remarkable improvement in reporter response everywhere that it has been implemented.
"My test routes show it updated and routes correctly. You will need to remove this address from your history/favorites and re-search. Otherwise you may routed to incorrect coordinates. If you continue to have issues, please submit a new report. Thanks and have a great day!


=== Downlock Requests ===
=== "Intermittent/Spontaneous Combustion" ===


==== Definitions ====
"Since we do not know in advance when these closures will occur, we, unfortunately, cannot add those to the app. We would have to rely on fellow wazers to use the app to enter the closures."
Downlock (or Down-Lock): Term used to describe the process of adjusting the Segment Lock level in WME down to match the regional standards, or the Rank of an editor to allow them to edit the segment(s).


Uplock (or Up-Lock): Term used to describe the process of adjusting Segment Lock levels up in WME. Often to its prior Segment Lock level before it was Down-Locked to match the Rank of an editor to allow them to edit the segment(s).
=== "Quit Searching By Address Please" ===


Permalink (or PL): A URL aka browser link (http://...) that shows the map with the same view as the user who created the Permalink (PL). Location, zoom, layers, and selected segments will be the same. You can find the icon for the Permalink in the lower right corner of the WME screen (two chains linked together). When the mouse is hovered over the icon, press Control-C to copy the Permalink to the clipboard (or right-click it and choose copy). You can then paste the PL into an e-mail or forum message so others can access what you are seeing.
Add the business to the map. Linked the Google POI to the Waze Location. Verified the street address. All should update within a few days.  


==== Request Format ====
In the future, please search for businesses by name, not address. You will get better results.


A downlock request can made in the West Virginia Google Hangout. The request itself shall be constructed as follows:
Thanks for reporting this!
 
'''Dnlock Lx-Ly, "City", "Reason", PL'''
 
* Lx = Current Lock Level
* Ly = Proposed Lock Level
* City = Closest City the request is being requested. Such as Morgantown, Huntington, etc.
* Reason = Whatever Reason for the request. Examples include Speed Limits (SL), Elevation, Geometry, etc.
 
===== Formatting the Permalink (PL) =====
 
# Before copying a PL hover over the "chain link" icon and press the "Shift" key. This will eliminate the layers in your PL.
# Delete all the information, starting with the "&" after the segment ID. For example, ...&segments=1234567&... Delete everything after the last number in segments.
# Example:
 
Dnlock L5-L2, Huntington, SLs, Elevation, https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-82.42197&lat=38.39253&zoom=5&segments=65476746
 
=== Uplock ===
Upon finishing your editing, create another PL with the segments needed to Uplock to the [[West_Virginia#Minimum_Lock_Standard|Minimum Lock Standard]]. Use the format '''Uplock L2-L5 "PL"''' . This is done because the person performing the dnlock or uplock may be using a mobile device and it is difficult to select the correct segments. Also, if you add a junction node for a speed limit or PLR, for example, it will create new segment IDs and those will not be the same as the original dnlock request.
