| ==You got Waze running but...==
| |
| You [[How to get the free Waze client|downloaded and installed Waze]] and you [[User Manual|read the User Manual]]. You are running Waze successfully but instead of a map like this:
| |
| | |
| [[image:MainScreenNew.jpg|thumb|alt=Busy Waze map of a city]]
| |
| | |
| ===You see streets with no names===
| |
| [[Image:ExampleBaseGridMap.png|thumb|alt=Example Base Grid Map]]
| |
| | |
| or...
| |
| | |
| ===You see just a few dots or lines===
| |
| [[Image:NearlyEmptyMap.png|thumb|alt=Nearly Empty Map]]
| |
| | |
| Your own street is missing. Or you're in a city, and the neighbourhood is almost completely bare. Or even worse....
| |
| | |
| ===You see a completely empty map===
| |
| (Do you really need a picture?)
| |
| ==So here's what you can do==
| |
| | |
| ===But first a word of warning===
| |
| Now [[Waze is not like other navigation apps]]. There are lots of ways you can [[Help make Waze better]] for you, and for everyone else. We certainly don't want to discourage you from getting involved. And some of the ways to help are [[Just drive around with Waze turned on|are very simple and anyone can do it]].
| |
| | |
| But the simple ways take the longest to produce results that you can see and use. So you can either contribute in ways that take more time, or wait for someone else to do it for you. Different people have different strengths and interests. You may be interested in [[Map Editing|creating maps]], or [[recording a new road|driving down new roads]], or [http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php?title=Help_for_an_incomplete_map&action=edit writing better documentation], or [[Discussion Forums|building and supporting a user community]].
| |
| | |
| But if none of that is for you, you may just want to check in on Waze every month and see how far it has progressed. There are major cities that have gone from completely unmapped to routing better than commercial applications, and in less than 8 months.

| | |
| And don't forget: It helps to [[Just drive around with Waze turned on]]
