| 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
