When to use Area or Point

Point Places don't show on the Wazers device, but are listed in the search results. They can be used to help Wazers find locations, especially when they are not or wrongly listed in other search engines.

Area Places appear in the Waze app. Too many of them can clutter the map, creating large gray zones that do not help Wazers orient themselves. Therefore, it is important to use Area Places only when they are distinctive and significant enough to orient drivers.

Most places are drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving. Exceptions are Parking Lots and Gas Stations; they should always be mapped with an Area Place, regardless of their size.

The table of categories gives a guideline to choose between point and area places, according to their category, sub-category and probable area size. You will find examples of places that might account for and Area Place type, such as an Event Center, Factory, Hospital, Office, Camping, Shopping malls, Monuments (e.g., Mardasson, Bastogne), Schools, Tourist Site, Attraction, Sports Court or Stadium and natural features.
