MegaMapRaid is a special kind of MapRaid. It is a one time event virtually gathering well over a thousand map editors, from dozens of countries, to jointly perfect several large pieces of the map. It is also a fantastic opportunity for newer editors to work with many senior editors to gain skills and insight into mapmaking and the Waze editing community.
The editors are divided into teams, and each team has a particular area it works on. There are fifty teams, and three major area of the map.
A unique feature of this MapRaid is that the teams are in friendly competition to see who can rack up the top editing score.
