I am having difficulties to fallow up my road map edits on the map. as all the edits are displayed in the map but I can’t distinguish which one are approved, rejected or still pending.
on the list their color is fine green for approved, red for rejected and brown for pending but in the map all have the same color red.
I think if the map marker changed its color to the same color status it will be helpful for us for fallow up.
Sounds like a good idea, but I don’t remember how to get your pending, approved and rejected roads in shown on a map. Please explain the steps to needed.
@MortenCopenhagen, if I understand correctly, @Port wants to make the suggestion, Google should change the colors and the last screenshot just demonstrates his wish …?
For a short time, I tried to solve it by setting my own pins, which is possible, but to0 cumbersome and it makes it even more confusing together with the red pins. The root of the problem is, Google doesn’t give as any tools to track the edits and doesn’t inform us when an edit was rejected.
Currently I am trying to maintain/track all edits in a spreadsheet, but that’s also too much work.
I like the idea, @Port , but IMHO it depends on how many edit you submit.
The pin is loaded on maps only when the edit is displayed on the edit list on the left side of the screen. If you are an heavy editor (I was used to submit hundred of roads every day) you have to scroll down the list, and when a few thousands of edits are listed the computer starts to slow down, die to the memory usage.
This is true, @WilfriedB
This is because Google Maps changed the way to display the list of the edits (I escalated the issue to the team long time ago).
On the past the list was updated based on the date of the status change, so once an edit was approved (or rejected) the edit was moving on the top of the list.
In that way it was easy to track approvals and rejections.
I hope one day Google will take my report into consideration, and will restore the previous way to display the edit list
My goal is to fallow up my edits after I change my strategy from “long edits” to “very small edits that stopped whenever there is change in color of the road”
these small edits need fallow up to complete the whole road.
currently I am using java script developed by @gncnpk “thank you” specially after enhancing it by number “my idea”. but still change from google will be better and faster.
I am really wondering how does people whose level are now 400000 & 2000000 are doing to manage their roads edits?
@Port
I have more than 90,000 approved roads.
During the TRAC campaign I was used to submit an average of 300 roads every day.
Considering that the time limit for approving a road is 90 days, to see all my approved or rejected contributions, I would have had to scroll through about 27,000 edits, which is obviously impossible because, as I mentioned, after a few thousand lines of edits, the computer’s cache memory starts to fill up, and the computer slows down to the point of crashing. This would also happen with your proposal.
So I had to completely change strategy, focusing only on the edit areas, and going to revisit them cyclically, and completely ignoring the lists of approved or rejected edits.
To do this I started creating lists, using the specific function of Google Maps.
Here below an example
