New Parking features are being rolled out to display Parking Lot Areas in the client app. It is now encouraged to convert point places to area places. New parking lot point places can no longer be created. Use the guidance here to improve their name, data, shape, and placement. Current guidance is to add Parking Lot Area to the map, as the client is being updated. Initially we should focus on adding large and/or popular lots, but all lots should eventually be added. |
The Parking Lot Area Place marks a well-defined area constructed for off-street public or private parking, including parking structures and garages as well as at-grade lots. The parking lot feature in the app will recommend parking lots to Wazers navigating to a nearby destination. Waze will recommend parking lots within 1km of a Wazer's destination. As the feature matures, Waze will recommend the 'most popular' lots that other Wazers have chosen when navigating to the same destination.
Area or Point
Parking lots can ONLY be added as an area as of 1st August 2016. They are a special place category; you cannot add other categories to a parking lot place, or convert/add a parking lot category to another kind of place.
Parking Lot Point Place
As of this writing, you can no longer add Parking Lots as a point place. ,br \> Existing point places should be evaluated for inclusion and either converted to an area if applicable or deleted to solve the Map Problem (MP) report.

Existing point places Underground Parking Lot are still under discussion. Existing point place Multi Entrance Parking Lot please leave it first until the Parking Lot multi entrance feature has been implement, WazeMY community has request the new feature of multi entrance for Parking Lot. |
Creating And Editing Parking Lot Areas
When editing or creating parking lots and related URs, MPs, & PURs, please make sure you have the Parking Lots layer enabled (under Places) so the existing PLAs on the map are not hidden.
