External Providers
Waze allows you to connect places and 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. This can also be linked to a street address point for the business if the address point exists in Google Maps.
Connect an external POI following this procedure:
- Create / Select a Place.
- Click on the link: Link this Waze Place to a Google Place.
- Gradually as you type the name of the place in the drop-down list, recommended external POI names begin to appear.
- Select the correct name.
- Save your changes.
If the place that has already been linked, you will see a box with the name and address of the external POI. Under this field is a unique identifier.
If you find that a site is linked to an improper external POI:
- Delete link by clicking the X next to the POI field.
- Save the changes.
Do not link the same external provider link to multiple Places.
Creating and editing links to External Provider POIs is allowed only by Rank 3 editors and above.
