Place categories

Waze has several major categories, which in turn includes quite a number of sub categories. If you choose a main category within WME, you automatically get to see the sub-categories to choose from. It is also possible to directly type in a category.

The Place categories used in Waze are not always directly applicable in BeLux, for they are global categories. At this time, it is not possible to adapt these categories to local customs. If you cannot find an applicable sub category, just use the main category and add the missing category in front of the name in the alternate name field.

This overview shows the categories used for the Waze Places. For mapping guidelines, please read the page about Places.

Note that circumstances may require a different approach. The different regions use a different locking strategy (see table below). In any case, if a Place needs more protection, a higher lock level can be used.

Regional differences

Regional guidelines
Flanders Brussels Wallonia Luxembourg
lock If a lock is required, the minimum lock level is described in the tables below. Places may be locked at L3 or higher when considered completed. In any case, do not reduce the lock of complete POIs. Places that are considered complete, aka contain all relevant information available, are locked to L3, to prevent unwanted edits. Places that are considered complete, aka contain all relevant information available, are locked to L3, to prevent unwanted edits.
