General tab
The General tab for a Place is where you complete all of the basic information: categories, name, description, gas brand, residential/public, hours of operation, country, state, city, street and house number.
Category
- Places need at least one category to be assigned, but may belong to several others. Always choose the main category first. For example, a Gas Station may also be “Convenience Store”, “Car Wash”, or “Charging Station”. For a more detailed explanation of categories, see the Place categories page.
Name and address
- If possible, provide name and address. The naming of a Place should be done in the formal language of the location where the place is situated. Use the official name of the Place. In bi-lingual areas, use the alternate name. The address is especially useful to guide Wazers to the Place. Add other important information, such as brand (service stations) and opening times.
Description
- The Description field is visible in the Waze app meant for helpful and objective information related to the Place itself.
- Some Places are paid for: don't change the description if it isn't clearly wrong.
- Don't use the description field for own notes or remarks to other editors.
Entry points
- Add, if necessary, Entry points so Waze is able to navigate you to the right side of the place. Use one place per destination. The navigation chooses the nearest entry point.
- If a hospital has different destinations for the general entrance and for emergency/first aid at the other side of the building - create an are place for the hospital with its own entry point and a point place for the emergency/first aid entrance.
- If a hospital has different destinations for the general entrance and for emergency/first aid at the other side of the building - create an are place for the hospital with its own entry point and a point place for the emergency/first aid entrance.
- Don't put entry points on top of road segments but a little beside them. Every entry point should have a name, the name will be shown in the client ETA screen. It’s important to keep the name short to fit the card and make sure it’s easily understandable.
External providers
- Waze allows you to connect to POI from external providers. One of the providers is Google Maps. When a Place is linked, drivers can select any destination from search results in the app, whether the result is from Waze or Google, it will always lead you to the navigation stop point from Waze.
