Lieux (Places) est système de points d'intérêt Waze (POI). Lieux prend en charge deux types de POI: Point et Zone.

Point Places create app-searchable POIs with limited rendering on the user's client display. The Point Place may be used for many destinations subject to the table of Place categories and types, but becomes especially useful in situations where the other POI search engines accessed by Waze do not list a desired destination.

Area Places (formerly called Landmarks) serve all the functions of Point Places while providing additional visual orientation cues on the user's client display. Because of their increased visibility and the resulting potential for map clutter, Area Places are easily overused. In principle, if a location is not distinctive and significant enough to orient drivers, it should not be marked with an Area Place. This principle guided the determination of Point vs. Area in the table of Place categories and types. Exceptions include gas stations, which receive special handling.

Point

The Point type of Place is rendered with the following icons:

Standard Point marker pin is purple-ish

The currently selected Point marker will turn blue

Any Point markers which have been edited and not yet saved by you will turn an orange-pink color, just like Area Places and segments.

Location Details

• The Point marker for a Place should be located on or nearest to the segment to which the driver should be navigated. The Point Marker is the stop point.

Zone

The Area type of Place is rendered as a polygon. Just like a segment, you can adjust the shape by using the geometry handles. All Area Places in the editor show in pink when not selected and blue-green when selected:

Location Details

• The Area type has a target which is the navigation stop point.
• The target stop point can be moved anywhere within the shape and also a short distance outside the actual Area shape
• The stop point target should be placed on or nearest to the segment to which the driver should be navigated.

Extent

Some locations that qualify for an Area Place may involve one or more structures as well as open space, roads, and parking. In such cases, particularly if these components form a unified complex or campus with an overall identity, the boundaries of the Area Place should encompass the entire property (i.e., "mapped to the fence line"). This ensures that clients render and label the Area Place with the correct significance when viewed with reduced zoom.

Other qualifying Area Places whose property lines are substantially identical with a single destination structure may be drawn, if desired, to approximate the structure's outline or footprint.

The Gas Station and Parking Lot categories of Area Place suppress automated detection of Map Problems and should always be mapped at least to the extent of the drivable area (see Places/Parking lot for more detail on the Parking-Lot Area Place).

Chevauchement

Dans certains cas, une vaste zone de place peut contenir en son sein des endroits qui seraient elles-mêmes qualifiées de la région Places; par exemple, différents bâtiments médicaux au sein d'un campus d'un hôpital ou commerciaux distincts au sein d'un grand complexe commercial. A ce jour, cependant, le client Waze rend seulement les noms des sous-ensembles de la région Lieux et ne montre pas les frontières visibles pour eux. Les utilisateurs peuvent donc pas distinguer visuellement Zone Places sous-ensemble au sein d'autres lieux de la région. Les sous-zone-Placez les étiquettes de texte apparaissent, mais ils «flottent» au milieu d'un fond de couleur indifférencié.

Les futures versions du client Waze peuvent rendre zone de chevauchement lieux plus utilement. En prévision de cela, la région admissible lieux peuvent être tirées sous-ensemble au sein d'autres. C'est peut-être une meilleure approche pour le moment au point d'utilisation Places pour les composants d'une plus grande zone de la Place, à moins qu'il est essentiel que les noms sous-ensemble de place soient visibles dans la version actuelle du client Waze. Si la région de chevauchement lieux ne rendent plus utile à l'avenir, se qualifiant point Places peuvent être convertis en Région lieux à ce moment-là.

Client Rendering

Modèle:As of, Point Places are not rendered in the Live map, or Client Devices, but are searchable within the app.

Setting the stop point for a Place

Point placement

The Point Place is to be placed on or nearest to the segment to which the driver should be navigated. Here is an example of a gas station Point located directly on a parking lot segment.

Area placement

Here is an example of an Area (a large park in this case) which has an entry road on the east side. The second image is zoomed in on the target to show how this type of Area should have its navigation stop point set.

Area+Point Combinations

There are some situations where it will be appropriate to mix both Area and Point Places. For example, shopping centers and shopping malls where the mall itself could be considered a navigation destination, but there are also individual stores which are also valid for being marked.

A simple shopping center, when mapped in this manner, would look like this:

Multiple categories

• A Place can be assigned to multiple categories
• The Primary Category for a Place must be the first one you enter
• The Primary Category is displayed in a darker shade of blue than the others
• The Primary Category is used to determine whether to use a Point or Area for the Place

Place address detail

Every Place, whether Point or Area, should have as much detail completed as possible. This includes a name, proper categorization, and full street address, city and state. If any Place doesn't have a City or Street, you will need to check the None checkbox.

Here is an example of a Gas Station Area with its details completed:

Additional fields to allow entry of more detail will be coming in future editor releases. (One field available in previous editor releases but not available at this time, is phone number.)

Parking Lot

Le Parking Lot Place marque une zone bien définie construit pour le stationnement hors rue publique, y compris les structures et les garages de stationnement ainsi que les lots à niveau. Il y a beaucoup d'éléments qui doivent être considérés avant de décider de dessiner un parking. Les détails sont couverts dans les Lieux/Parking.
