The Gas Station Places marks a well-defined area characterized by a fuel pumps and a cashier. A complete and accurate Gas Station Place allows drivers to search for their favorite brands of fuelnear their current location or route. More about the gas station functionality in the client can be found in the Waze Help Center.
Add A Gas Station
Gas Stations Places have usually been imported from a 3rd party provider to the waze map, and may require significant updates to conform to Community standards.
Area or Point
Gas station places should be drawn as an area to the fenceline / curbline and should include all parking lots, convenience store buildings, car washes, etc, that are a part of the same business.
Some of the stations are small, stretching them to the limits should make them more visible on the client.
NOTE:
The geometry of places imported from 3rd party sources is not reliable, and usually only represents the rough location of the gas station.
Stop Point
The stop point for gas stations should be placed on a parking lot road that accesses the area.
Category
With the implementation of Places multiple categories may now be assigned to a gas station. The primary (or first) category must be Gas Station, for additional features such as fuel prices and brand name to be enabled. Additional categories could include such categories: Convenience Store, ATM or Car Wash. A Car Wash or restaurant with difference ownership may merit a separate Place (point).
