-As a Waze editor you are NOT supposed to use any external / unauthorized sources, INCLUDING Google sources!
-Even tho Google purchased Waze several years ago, Waze editors are NOT licensed to use Google Maps [GMaps], Google Street View [GSV], or pretty much anything Google that is not found directly INSIDE the Waze Map Editor [WME]
-Google Maps data is a mixture of Google owned data and external sources, that Google has paid for licensing with, however those licenses do NOT extend to Waze access.
-All the data that Google has included inside of WME for access, is either data 100% owned by Google, or possibly in some cases include external data that has a license that DOES include Waze access.
-So even tho many of the images appear to be identical, we as editors can not know for sure what is legally allowed or not.
-The smarter than me people at Google have already sorted all this out and included it in Waze/ WME/ WME Street View [WSV] for me.
-Waze had to delete an entire country worth of data due to illegally acquired info that was added to the Waze map.
-The better choice would be use a PL to a WME segment and then the editor can access the WME/ WSV]
-or for those editors that might be mobile, you can try to screenshot your WSV image and share that
