Military Bases and Government Installations

Naming

All roads within the confines of the gate for the military base should have the official name of the base. Approved abbreviations are:

AFB-Air Force Base

NAS-Naval Air Station

CG-Coast Guard

JRB-Joint Reserve Base

JB-Joint Base

MCAS-Marine Corps Air Station

Roads

While road treatment is covered here.

This is particularly important if you have access to these locations as a resident, worker, or visitor and use that access to learn something about the Private Installation. A general rule is to not mark specific locations with a Place unless the public installation website provides that information via directors or maps. Specific examples of what not to map include organizational names occupying buildings, building numbers, hangar numbers, etc. when they are not publicly available. Examples of items to usually map include gates, visitor access points, and frequent destinations like marching fields, parks, museums, on-base schools, etc.

Landmarks

Landmarks (Places) approved for military bases

Commissary
PX/BX
Gas stations
Parks
Museums
School
College / University
Lodging (base hotels)

Landmarks (Places) not approved for military base

The reasoning behind these are a person who is hungry and searches for "Burger King" will get the closest one to them, which may be a military base which they don't have access to.

Fast food places
Numbered buildings
Troop clubs (NCO, officer, etc)
Residences
Barracks
Hangars

-While road treatment is covered [https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Private_Installations here]. questions often arise about what items to landmark by adding Area and Point Places on these facilities. This is particularly important if you have access to these locations as a resident, worker, or visitor and use that access to learn something about the Private Installation. A general rule is to not mark specific locations with a Place unless the public installation website provides that information via directors or maps. Specific examples of what '''not to map''' include organizational names occupying buildings, building numbers, hangar numbers, etc. when they are not publicly available. Examples of items to usually map include gates, visitor access points, and frequent destinations like marching fields, parks, museums, on-base schools, etc.
