| Waze landmarks serve to orient drivers and to establish app-searchable points-of-interest (POI) for situations where the primary POI search engines may not find the desired location. Despite these helpful attributes, landmarks are easily overused. Unnecessary landmarks clutter maps and stymie drivers with redundant, incomplete, and sometimes contradictory POI results. Waze offers a plethora of landmark types as a byproduct of the original base-map import, but most of these hinder rather than help Waze users and are best avoided.

| In general, '''if a location is not distinctive and significant enough to orient drivers, and is already searchable using the primary POI search engines, it should not be landmarked in Waze.''' Three common exceptions are gas stations, which receive special handling; government or transit-oriented destinations for the general public, such as parks and airports; and school or university campuses, whether public or private.

| The Waze editing community in the US has agreed that, aside from gas stations, '''ordinary businesses are never to be landmarked.''' However consensus is less firm regarding landmarking of large private country clubs, golf courses and retreat centers with extensive, groomed and conspicuous open space. Such facilities, though private, may be sufficiently distinctive and significant in a given area that to leave them unmapped would be a disservice to Waze users. Regardless, the criteria of either '''orienting drivers''' or '''not otherwise findable with a primary POI search engine''' apply to landmarking private as well as public locations.

| Below is the list of Landmark Types provided by WME. '''This list is to facilitate a discussion in the forums about what Landmarks should and should not be included in the map''' The discussion is located at [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=276&t=26005 http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=276&t=26005] Eventually we hope for this to become the guide for which landmarks get mapped & how they get mapped.
