Waze special-purpose staff accounts
Waze3rdParty
These Waze3rdParty gas stations have hidden back-end data to remotely update gas prices.
Yext_Import
There is hidden back-end data on Yext_Import places that allow for remote updates of operating hours and services. Every effort should be made to preserve this data by keeping the Yext_Import Place.
Imported descriptions can be longer than the max character counts, and editors may truncate descriptions to allow for saving other edits. However, there is no initiative to adjust all Yext descriptions.
WazeParking1 & WazeParking2
An account used to set up waze parking lot areas. There is no back-end data that will be lost if the import is not retained.
An account used to set up navigational advertisements. There is no back-end data that will be lost if the import is not retained.
Avsus
An account used to create and/or lock places to enable ads.
Waze-contracted help
IGN
Accounts that are ign_username are contracted map editors.
IGN Map editors are an extension of the Waze Geo-Ops (aka the Map Team) who edit parts of the North America and World maps. They generally focus on areas where major content is missing, there was no base map import for that country, or significant problems are occurring with the map and no local editors are available.
In the past, IGN editors were more active in the map, but there were situations where some IGN editors were not knowledgeable about particular areas. Some non-IGN editors would argue their presence may have made the situation worse. In North America the presence of IGN editors in the map are much less common now. They tend to focus on the World map in newly added countries with few local editors.
