:ATMs can be found inside and outside of buildings. In Waze we only add those ATMs that are accessible to the general public. Most of the times, we can just add them as a [[Places#Pont Place|Point Place]] with the primary category ATM, and the name ATM [%NameOfBank%] <sup>1)</sup>. However, if they are inside a building, like a bank, supermarket, or post office, extra care should be taken:
Department Store<br />
:When the opening hours are different from the building holding the ATM (For example, an ATM in the hall of a bank can be accessible outside the bank's hours.)
Electronics<br />
::Add a separate Point Place inside the building, with ATM as primary category.
Fashion and Clothing<br />
::Make sure to add the specific opening hours
Flowers<br />
:When the opening hours are the same as the building holding the ATM:
Furniture / Home Store<br />
::Add the ATM as a secondary category to the building's Place.
Gifts<br />
::Make sure to add the opening hours to the building's Place.
Gym / Fitness<br />
:ATMs that have restricted use (like only accessible for account holders of a specific bank), should not be added. Any other condition, like the need to swipe a card before entering, can be written in the description field if you think it is important information for the Wazer searching for an ATM.
Hardware Store<br />
:<sup>1)</sup> <small>Note: To avoid WME from automatically merging a separate ATM Point Place as an update to a building’s place, the ATM should be named differently than the building. Therefore, the naming convention is implemented.</small>

Place categories

The Place categories used in Waze are not always directly applicable to the BeNeLux, for they are global categories. At this time, it is not possible to adapt these categories to local customs. Waze has several major categories, which includes quite a number of subcategories.

If you choose a main category within WME, you automatically get to see the sub-categories to choose from. It is also possible to directly type in a category. If you cannot find an applicable sub-category, just use the main category. Categories that require special handling are described briefly in this section. A complete list can be found in the table below. It also lists the keywords that can be used in the app to search for the category.

Professional and public

For public buildings or services such as fire departments, town halls and the like, we set the location of the name after the name, e.g., Stadhuis Antwerpen. For Organisations that have several locations, specify the location after a hyphen, after the general name of the organisation, e.g., UZ leuven - campus Gasthuisberg.

Hospital / Medical Care

The category Hospital / Medical Care currently only apply to Hospitals, First Aid Posts and other places that offer emergency aid.

Table

This table shows the categories used for the Waze Places. It shows examples, lock levels and search strings (scroll to the right of the table). Also, there is an indication to the use of a Point or an Area Place. Area Places should have a minimum area size of 500 m2 (e.g., 50m x 10m) to be visible in the client's display. See also the paragraph on how to determine Area or Point.

At the bottom of the table you can choose the language in which you want the categories to show.

If you want to search this list you can view it with this link.
