My Dashboard

You tin can see your points and rank from the mobile awarding by selecting the Carte du jour, then My Waze, then Scoreboard. You tin see more information about your points from the website at My Dashboard. For more than information about the dashboard, please read My Dashboard.

Waze updates your dashboard periodically -- usually once a solar day. If yous do non think the points are upwards-to-date, please check the status page to see if waze is enlightened of any delays. Waze calculates all the points that all Waze users have earned and shows you where you lot rank compared to other Waze users. The Dashboard page on the website will also testify you how boosted information nearly your driving, reporting, and map editing.

How are points calculated?

Different things you do with Waze -- driving, reporting, editing the map -- will earn you different amounts of points. You receive the same number of points per kilometer driven whether you choose to display miles or kilometers (a table below translates the ii measurement systems).

Waze maintains a list of activities and points -- information technology is also shown below.

You lot can go more points either by driving more or by updating the map for areas where you already drive.

What Is a Map Edit?

Map edits are listed in your scoreboard. They likewise affect your total number of points -- each map edit increases your score by several points. "Editing the map" means making a alter to one route segment. If you right the spelling on iii segments of the same road, you volition earn three map edits. If you edit the aforementioned segment more than 1 fourth dimension in a 24-hour day, you volition only receive credit for the edit one time.

For example, if you correct the city name at the same time or a little later on in the day, y'all have fabricated two changes to the segment just will receive credit for one edit to the segment.

What'southward the Deviation Betwixt a Change and an Edit?

Wme button save pending red.png

In the map editor, whatsoever modify is counted past the counter on the Relieve icon. A modify is not the same as an edit. A modify is whatsoever action that tin can be undone with the disengage button. For example, if y'all select 10 segments at in one case, correct the spelling of the proper name on all 10 segments, and select Apply, the change counter will increment by one. Why? Considering yous fabricated one single, disengage-able change. If you alter one segment by moving 10 geometry points around a curve, each time you drag and drop a geometry point, that is a change and the change counter increases because you can disengage each of these actions.

In the start instance, those 10 segments changed all at one time will get you credit for 10 edits. In the 2nd instance, those 10 changes will get you credit for 1 edit. In the first, y'all changed 10 unlike objects. In the 2d, you changed but a single object.

As a final, extreme case: if yous update an existing long segment, give it a new name, change the city, change the road type, the direction, the lock level and elevation, and then adjust the location of 100 geometry points, the save counter may show 160 changes. When you salve, that is counted as a single edit to that segment.

When you save a big number of changes at in one case, the organisation will not credit you with more than 150 points each fourth dimension you save changes. If you have more than 150 points worth of changes stored up earlier you save, the edits will be saved to the map, just you merely get up to 150 points. Remember that points are not displayed in the salve icon, only edits. If y'all are concerned with the number of edits and points you receive for fixing the map, salvage more often and with fewer changes between saves to avoid doing uncredited work.

The details behind these calculations are discussed in this forum thread. Boosted changes made to the indicate organization are noted in this later forum thread.

Bonus points and road goodies

The bonus points can simply exist earned in one case unless otherwise noted.

Bonus candies but appear at route junctions and mostly go placed on the road along your current path. If for some reason yous are unable to bulldoze over the candy, don't worry near it. The candy will come back at another location as y'all continue to bulldoze, or when you utilise Waze on another trip. If you lot do not enable these "Road Goodies" in the Waze client awarding, you will receive the credits during the next weekly bespeak update.

If you believe you lot have completed an achievement, simply have not seen the bonus candy on the road, sometimes y'all merely need to await another calendar week for it to catch up in the server. If the achievement was for something that required multiple days, the calendar resets at the outset of the week on Mon, so the bonus volition non happen unless it is betwixt the Monday to Monday cycle. Also annotation that some bonuses cannot exist earned in the same week and crave a divide Monday cycle betwixt them.

Waze Baby	Welcome to the world, Wazer! You're a baby now, but not for long... Drive 100 miles to become a Grown upwardly.
Waze Grown-Up	Yous've matured and can now pick a new Waze mood. To become a Waze Warrior you lot'll need to seriously ramp up on points...

Waze Knight	The sword is yours! You've reached the top 4% of high scorers in your region. You're nearly Royalty... Keep on looking for bespeak opportunities
Waze Royalty	You've arrived! You're in the acme i% of high scorers in your region. Bulldoze around knowing you're as VIP as they come up...

To reach the Royalty level (crown icon), you need to be in the top percent of all Wazers in your locality (in the US, this is determined past state).

The top percentage is calculated once a month, and if more and more Wazers get points, it's possible that the total amount needed to achieve shield / sword / crown will really go upwards.

While it could exist frustrating, information technology helps guarantee that no one gets the 'Waze Royalty' level for good. It always gives a chance for new Wazers to come along and go information technology.

Waze Rank (Waze Points Rank)

The Waze client application Scoreboard displays your points and points rank compared to Everyone or your Facebook Friends for your state, your state (in the US) for Weekly or All Fourth dimension, time frames.

These Ranks are dissimilar than Editing Ranks (every bit too indicated by Cones).

Waze Map Editing Ranks

You can see your own editing rank AKA level from the Waze Map Editor (WME) on the peak left of the screen.

WME username level.png

Your rank appears just under your username as "Level #". To the left of your username and level is an avatar icon unique to your level. In the WME when you select a segment, the backdrop drawer will show you the name (and rank) of the editor who created and last modified the segment. The number in parenthesis after the name, is the editor's current rank (not necessarily the rank they were when they made the edit).

Editing permission

Your editor rank affects the area of the map you can edit every bit well as your ability to "lock" roads, places, and cameras, edit locked roads, places, and cameras, and add closures to roads. For more than information, please read about permissions in the Waze Map Editor. You lot can see the current lock rank of any segment, place, or photographic camera by selecting the object and checking the data in the left pane. If you need help fixing an object that is locked above your rank, delight read well-nigh editing objects locked above your rank.

Promotion

In the USA, rank promotions are evaluated based on a combination of related factors including;

Editing skill and cognition
Editing quality and finish
Customs involvement
Proper etiquette in communication
Mentoring participation
Edit count
Suspicious or damaging edits

Factors relevant to promotion may exist weighted differently at different ranks. Promotion to ranks 2 and 3 often focus more on knowledge level, skill, and quality of edits (with edit count used a proxy). Promotion to ranks 4 and above often emphasize communication, community involvement, mentoring, and leadership.

Edit count therefore is of diminishing importance to promotion at higher ranks. If one edits with the requisite skill and communicates with integrity and etiquette, and other rank-associated criteria are satisfied, one may be promoted before achieving the listed edit count for a given rank. If ane does non demonstrate constructive editing practices with quality edits and proper decorum, promotion may not occur even later ane has achieved the listed edit count. This should be seen not equally a reflection of one's worth every bit an editor, just just equally a result of the decreased relevance of edit count especially as one reaches higher ranks.

The Formal Mentoring program is a great tool to help yous learn the skills and knowledge you will need to be eligible for a rank promotion. Existence in communication with your SM and/or RC fifty-fifty before you are eligible, volition also show you where you demand to focus to get eligible for the promotion.

If you feel that yous might be eligible for a rank promotion, please contact your local direction team including your State Managers (SM), and Regional Coordinator(south) (RC) to initiate a review, and the promotion process. Moving from rank three to 4, and higher, is not automatic and requires assistance, make sure to contact your managers/coordinator(s).
