| Starting in the client version 3.9, users are now able to submit new places to the Waze map directly from their client devices. There is some confusion on how to properly submit a place with all the details from a client device. This page endeavors to walk you through the process of submitting a place properly so it will be added to the map in a useful way.
| |
| | |
| === Start a report ===
| |
| [[File:Place submission 1.jpg|200px|thumbnail|right]]
| |
| There are a few ways to start a place report, whether you want to report a new place, or modify an existing one.
| |
| | |
| # From the main view in the client tap the report menu (the button with a pin) in the lower right corner. Then tap on ''Place'' when you are at the physical location of the place you want to add or modify.
| |
| # When you arrive at your destination, Waze will display an info bar across the top of your devices' screen. From this bar there will be a camera button with the option to take a picture of your destination. Tapping this camera will also start the Place reporting process.
| |
| # The only way to report a place at a different physical location than where you are is to first search for the Place. This requires that the place already exist in the Waze map, however you will be able to modify it. After searching for the place by name (or by category if it is nearby), you can tap on the place you'd like to modify in the results list. This will open the details page, with an option at the bottom to ''Suggest an edit''.
| |
| | |
| If you utilize one of the first two options above, you will be immediately to prompted to take a picture of the place you are reporting.
| |
| :''To avoid the picture you take accidentally being rotated upside down, it is preferable if you take the picture while holding your device straight up (in the portrait orientation). From your device it will not be possible to tell if a picture taken with the device held on its side (landscape orientation) will be upside down once it is uploaded to the Waze Map.''
| |
| | |
| Please ensure that any pictures you upload to Waze meet the [[Places#Determining Acceptable Photos|guidelines of appropriate pictures]] handed down from Waze staff. Photos which contain offensive, inappropriate, or otherwise unacceptable content, will have to be rejected or deleted in the Waze Map Editor. If this happens too man times, you will be banned from submitting any future Places reports.

| === Choosing or creating a place ===
| |
| | |
| | |
| After taking the requisite picture, the only options I was presented with are; Residential, a search box, and the place area I'm already in.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Type the name of the new place I want to create into the search field, and tap the resulting option to add it as a new place.
| |
| | |
| Add the basic details like category, and street address, tap done.
| |
| | |
| Tap add more details on the pop-up.
| |
| | |
| You can edit all the details of the new place (point) you just created.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Including the location, tap on it to bring up the full screen map tofine tune the pin location.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Here you can pinch to zoom, and fine tune the pin location relative to your own GPS fix location for reference.
| |
| | |
| | |
| When you're done editing all the details (phone number, hours, description, website, etc.) Tap done at the top of the screen.
