Projects
- Waze CCP Workshop at MD Dept of Transportation - with nzahn1 and kodi75, October 2019
- I-270 Watkins Mill Interchange - Gaithersburg MD interchange opened in June 2020. I mapped this new interchange, contacted the project manager, visited the work site, and talked to workers to confirm the opening date and approximate time. The interchange was open and routing in Waze within 15 minutes after the construction barrels were removed. It took the other mapping services more than a month to map it.
- White Flint West Workaround - North Bethesda MD major road construction, still in progress. I added the closures (major roads including a MH state highway were closed for over a month), mapped the intersection updates, visited the site multiple times, and I have been in touch with the project manager for updates. Again, our map updates here have been significantly more timely than other mapping services.
- Ongoing - Lanes, Shields, Turn Instructions
- Ongoing - Falcon project

- Driving EA Collaboration I enjoy helping out in other regions when I have EA. Recently, I traveled to Chapel Hill, NC for a family gathering. After I got back, I had EA along I-85 and I did all the shields/turn instructions down to Durham, NC. I chatted with the NC editors and made sure I checked with them before I touched any freeways. After my updates, hiroaki27609 contacted me to thank me for helping out. I said I was happy to help and I appreciated the collaboration.
