Outline
- Generally, an Area Place covers what a Wazer sees when driving to the actual location.
- Keep the shape simple; Waze will anyway simplify the place in the App. Consider mapping with a basic rectangle.
- We have two options:
- Map the edges of the building: Used for individual significant buildings. Think of big supermarkets, a lighthouse, churches or mosques, etc..
- Map the visible contour of the area: Handy for natural features and building clusters such as a universities campus, shopping malls, factories, parks, forests, etc... Parking Lots and Gas Stations) are always mapped to their property lines.
- If the Area itself needs to be modified, click on the place to select it. Use the geometry nodes to adjust the shape. To move an area place without changing its shape, drag the
Move Handle icon. - Care should be taken not to snap to road segment nodes, because this makes it more difficult to edit the place and/or segments later on.
- Do not overlap Area Places to prevent grey areas without distinction. Read more on combining places.
