<br />
=='''Introduction'''==<br />
''This forms part of [[India#Editing Best Practice| India Editing Best Practice]]. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines.''<br />
<br />
Places are the Waze map elements marking points of interest, including businesses as well as larger locations that serve as landmarks on the map.<br />
<br />
For the purposes of searching for addresses or businesses, Waze does use external providers, such as Google, as an alternate source of information when its own database lacks them.<br />
<br />
However, Waze search actually prefers its own data, so editors are strongly encouraged to add Places to the map. These can be added through the Places tool in the app when a Wazer is at a location.<br />
<br />
But Waze editors can add many more Places more quickly using the Waze Map Editor (WME).<br />
<br />
To create a place, hover the cursor over the Place icon — it's the teardrop-shaped icon toward the center of the blue toolbar above the map. That will give you a menu to select the category (this can be changed later, and there are more subcategories you can choose).<br />
<br />
Hovering over each of these categories gives you the option to draw the place as a “Point” or “Area.”<br />
<br />
Click on the map to position the Point. If it’s an Area type, click to anchor it and then pull to expand the polygon to fill the entire Place, to the fence line or other boundary.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''Point and Area types'''==<br />
<br />
A Place can be a 'Point' or an 'Area'. Above a given size, Area Places become visible in the client. In India, where not all the roads are named on the Waze map, many Places are mapped as Area type to help the driver orient themselves on their route.<br />
<br />
A Point Place is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called "Residential”, which are private addresses. These are always Point Places.<br />
<br />
===Point Places===<br />
<!--T:36--><br />
Point Places don't show on the Wazers device. They can be used to help Wazers find locations, especially when they are not or wrongly listed in other destination search engines. As they are searchable from the app, accurate positioning of a Point location and providing a full address (including street number) are both utterly important.<br /><br />
<br />
In WME, a Point appears as a small circle:<br />
;[[File:Wme_place.png]] : <br />
Standard point<br />
;[[File:Wme_place_selected.png]] : <br />
Selected point<br />
;[[File:Wme_place_changed.png]] : <br />
Modified point<br />
;[[File:Wme_place_pending_update.png]] : <br />
Modified point, pending for approval<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Waze routing server will navigate the Wazer onto the segment which is physically closest to where the Point is placed. The Point Marker is the stop point. Typically, if the Place is inside a building, the marker should be located at or near the location's main entrance door. Try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br />
<br />
===Area Places=== <!--T:36--><br />
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. <br />
<br />
<!--T:43--><br />
Area Places should have a <span style="color:#FF0000"> minimum area size of 500 m<sup>2</sup></span> (e.g., 10m x 50m) to be visible in the client's display. Most of the other places are Point Places, except for Gas_Stations, and Parking Lots, which are always areas, and receive special handling..<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:44--><br />
Generally, an Area Place only covers what a Wazer sees when driving to the actual location. It follows that the Area outline covers the building of the place, but never the whole property. However, an Area Place doesn't have to be as detailed as the building is, actually, it's better to keep the shape roughly. Natural features such as forests, parks, and lakes are drawn to the visible contours.<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:45--><br />
The different types of Area Places show in different colors in the app, as well as in WME. The colors vary slightly, depending on your display. Generally, Natural features show green (e.g., Park) or blue (e.g., River). <br />
<br />
Each Area Place has a [[File:Wme_place_stop_point.png]] “Point Marker“ , which by default is centered. This point can be moved to where you should arrive, or where to park, even a short distance outside of the marked area, indicated by the black outline (see picture). Again, try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:48--><br />
If the Area itself needs to be modified, click on the place to select it. Use the geometry points to adjust the shape. To move an area place without changing its shape, drag the [[File:Wme_place_drag_handle.png]] Move Handle icon.<br /><br />
<br />
===Residential or Private Places=== <!--T:49--><br />
When arriving, Waze proposes to take a picture of your destination. In this way, many private Places are uploaded to WME. For these private Places, the category “residential” is used. Private Places will not be searchable, and the identity of whoever created them or attached pictures, will not be exposed. Private Places only contain photos and an exact address, without all the other properties of a Place. The pictures will only show to people driving explicitly to that address. Waze editors will be using the pictures and exact locations to improve the house numbers database.<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:50--><br />
[[File:WME_Places_convertresidential.jpg|thumb|left]]<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:51--><br />
Public Places can be turned into private Places, but private Places cannot be turned into public Places. Use the link located under the buttons for Point or Area in the menu, to convert Places mistakenly labeled as public into private.<br /><br />
<br />
===Combined Places===<br />
<!--T:36--><br />
[[File:wme_places_mall_area_with_points.png|thumb|upright=1.8|top|Combined Places]]<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:53--><br />
Point Places within an Area Place are allowed and mostly used for shops in a shopping mall, faculties within a University campus, etc.. Avoid Areas within Areas, as this may become confusing on the client's display.<br />
<br />
=='''Places related to roads and navigation'''==<br />
This class of Place is used to either label major junctions or suppress traffic reports where Wazers may be stopped/parked/waiting:<br />
===Junctions===<br />
Major junctions, particularly on Highways, should be labelled with a Place.<br />
<br />
Under no circumstances should the road name or city name fields of a segment be used for naming of a junction. <br />
<br />
The Place should be kept tight to the road system to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding Places via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
Interchange:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Interchange.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Complex shaped junction:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Complex Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Roundabout Based Junctions===<br />
To aid navigation instructions, roundabout segments should typically remain '''unnamed'''. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then this can be labelled using a landmark of "Junction/Intersection" type that fills the centre of the roundabout. This only applies to big roundabouts that are larger than 30 metres.<br />
<br />
The landmark should be kept tight to the roundabout to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Roundabout Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Large, freehand shapes should be avoided...<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Large Freehand Shapes.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Car Parks===<br />
Use the "Parking lot" Place type. Include the main route through the car park using a Parking lot road type. Do '''NOT''' draw every single row within the car park.<br />
<br />
Parking lot ''roads'' should not be named, as it looks better to have a label on the landmark.<br />
Public Car parks, i.e. operated by the City Municipal Corporation, should be labelled with [P].<br />
Customer car parks for business should not be labelled this way, but may be drawn in. Names of the car parks do not need to be added.<br />
Park and Ride can be labelled with [P+R] (same for bus, railway and metro).<br />
<br />
* ''See the main [[Best_map_editing_practice#Parking_Lots|Best Practice for more on mapping parking lots]]''<br />
<br />
===Gas Stations===<br />
<br />
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:<br />
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place. <br />
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map<br />
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road" <br />
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.<br />
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.<br />
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel <br />
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand <br />
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.<br />
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.<br />
* Lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of data. Gas stations on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above (ask your group for help if it is above your level)<br />
<br />
Gas Stations are drawn as Places. Add them as an area and avoid point Places. The fence line should include the entrance, parking lots, toilets, stores within the premises that are a part of the gas station. Don’t ‘ snap’ the area to the roads.<br />
<br />
Most stations are small in India and occupy different shapes. Stretch them to your best ability so that they are visible on the waze app. Please ensure the fence line does not cross the road or neighbouring buildings or structures - zoom in for better stretching the boundary.<br />
<br />
====How to====<br />
* To add a gas stations, create a Place by clicking the (picture) and choose “car services”. This will give you a blue pointer. Click on top of the gas station. A menu appears on the left side. <br />
* Click Gas Station. Also, click the area tab. Pull the geometry nodes to the sides around the Gas Station. Fill in the Brand. If the station has a separate name, you can add it in the Name field. <br />
* Add info at the more info tab, like opening and closing time. A lot of gas stations in India close at night mainly those within city limits. <br />
* The road within the gas station should be typed “parking lot road” and connected to the road where the gas station is located. Once this is done, turn indicators will appear as arrows. Most gas stations have one entry and one exit, so the parking lot road should be one way, please mark it accordingly. <br />
* Once the road has been created and the turns are marked, please drag the “stop point” that appears on the “gas station area” to the centre of the parking lot road or the most probable area for filling the gas. <br />
* You may add any store that exists at the gas station, like “Indian Oil - Tyre Plus” if two businesses occur at the same premises or a common parking lot road as an Alternate Name. You may also draw the gas station as an area and the other business (like convenience store, car wash, tyre sale) as a point within the area. If the name of the gas station is not clear, leave the field blank. <br />
<br />
It is a good rule to generally lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of created data. Gas station on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above. Contact your area manager for unlock and lock after you have edited. <br />
<br />
====Gas Station Brands ====<br />
Please use the GPS layer in WME to see if the gas station is in use. Gas station brands marked "p" are private and may be closed in some states for tax reasons. The brands have a link to the brands website, if we could find one.<br />

===Service Areas===<br />
* Car Parks should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Car_Parks|Parking Areas]].<br />
* Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Petrol_Stations|Petrol Stations]].<br />
* Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.<br />
* Do not add a City or Street name to any service, road with the exception of the ramps.<br />
* Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads. <br />
<br />
For more information on how junction locking works in Waze see the forum thread:<br />
[https://world.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13094 Modifying the lock option (and some explanations)]<br />
<br />
===Railways===<br />
* Railway lines should be drawn in as "Railroad" type roads, especially if there are other streets nearby. They do not appear in the client, but they potentially keep Wazers on trains from polluting the local speed data.<br />
* Railroad Segments should be named "Railway" with no city.<br />
* Railroad Segments can be connected to the road network if there is an actual crossing. The Railroad type no longer is routable from the road network.<br />
* Railway Stations should just be labelled 'Railway Station' as search results will be available from external search providers.<br />

=='''Landmarks types that should NOT be added to the Map'''==<br />
Landmarks smaller than about 1600m&sup2; (40m x 40m) won't appear on the client, so there's no point adding them to the map. (A standard build McDonald's with Drive-thru is approximately 1000m&sup2;)<br />
<br />
''It is '''not''' necessary to add individual businesses, as they are likely to change over time. Waze search results will be available from external providers and this negates the need to maintain landmarks within the editor.''</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/How_to_create_and_edit_Places&diff=148557User:Machete808/How to create and edit Places2016-07-27T17:00:15Z<p>Machete808: </p>

A Place can be a 'Point' or an 'Area'. Above a given size, Area Places become visible in the client. In India, where not all the roads are named on the Waze map, many Places are mapped as Area type to help the driver orient themselves on their route.<br />
<br />
A Point Place is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called "Residential”, which are private addresses. These are always Point Places.<br />
<br />
===Point Places===<br />
<!--T:36--><br />
Point Places don't show on the Wazers device. They can be used to help Wazers find locations, especially when they are not or wrongly listed in other destination search engines. As they are searchable from the app, accurate positioning of a Point location and providing a full address (including street number) are both utterly important.<br /><br />
<br />
In WME, a Point appears as a small circle:<br />
;[[File:Wme_place.png]] : <br />
Standard point<br />
;[[File:Wme_place_selected.png]] : <br />
Selected point<br />
;[[File:Wme_place_changed.png]] : <br />
Modified point<br />
;[[File:Wme_place_pending_update.png]] : <br />
Modified point, pending for approval<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Waze routing server will navigate the Wazer onto the segment which is physically closest to where the Point is placed. The Point Marker is the stop point. Typically, if the Place is inside a building, the marker should be located at or near the location's main entrance door. Try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br />
=='''Places related to roads and navigation'''==<br />
This class of Place is used to either label major junctions or suppress traffic reports where Wazers may be stopped/parked/waiting:<br />
===Junctions===<br />
Major junctions, particularly on Highways, should be labelled with a Place.<br />
<br />
Under no circumstances should the road name or city name fields of a segment be used for naming of a junction. <br />
<br />
The Place should be kept tight to the road system to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding Places via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
Interchange:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Complex shaped junction:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Complex Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Roundabout Based Junctions===<br />
To aid navigation instructions, roundabout segments should typically remain '''unnamed'''. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then this can be labelled using a landmark of "Junction/Intersection" type that fills the centre of the roundabout. This only applies to big roundabouts that are larger than 30 metres.<br />
<br />
The landmark should be kept tight to the roundabout to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Roundabout Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Large, freehand shapes should be avoided...<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Large Freehand Shapes.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Car Parks===<br />
Use the "Parking lot" Place type. Include the main route through the car park using a Parking lot road type. Do '''NOT''' draw every single row within the car park.<br />
<br />
Parking lot ''roads'' should not be named, as it looks better to have a label on the landmark.<br />
Public Car parks, i.e. operated by the City Municipal Corporation, should be labelled with [P].<br />
Customer car parks for business should not be labelled this way, but may be drawn in. Names of the car parks do not need to be added.<br />
Park and Ride can be labelled with [P+R] (same for bus, railway and metro).<br />
<br />

<br />
===Gas Stations===<br />
<br />
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:<br />
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place. <br />
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map<br />
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road" <br />
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.<br />
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.<br />
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel <br />
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand <br />
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.<br />
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.<br />
* Lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of data. Gas stations on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above (ask your group for help if it is above your level)<br />
<br />
Gas Stations are drawn as Places. Add them as an area and avoid point Places. The fence line should include the entrance, parking lots, toilets, stores within the premises that are a part of the gas station. Don’t ‘ snap’ the area to the roads.<br />
<br />
Most stations are small in India and occupy different shapes. Stretch them to your best ability so that they are visible on the waze app. Please ensure the fence line does not cross the road or neighbouring buildings or structures - zoom in for better stretching the boundary.<br />
<br />
====How to====<br />
* To add a gas stations, create a Place by clicking the (picture) and choose “car services”. This will give you a blue pointer. Click on top of the gas station. A menu appears on the left side. <br />
* Click Gas Station. Also, click the area tab. Pull the geometry nodes to the sides around the Gas Station. Fill in the Brand. If the station has a separate name, you can add it in the Name field. <br />
* Add info at the more info tab, like opening and closing time. A lot of gas stations in India close at night mainly those within city limits. <br />
* The road within the gas station should be typed “parking lot road” and connected to the road where the gas station is located. Once this is done, turn indicators will appear as arrows. Most gas stations have one entry and one exit, so the parking lot road should be one way, please mark it accordingly. <br />
* Once the road has been created and the turns are marked, please drag the “stop point” that appears on the “gas station area” to the centre of the parking lot road or the most probable area for filling the gas. <br />
* You may add any store that exists at the gas station, like “Indian Oil - Tyre Plus” if two businesses occur at the same premises or a common parking lot road as an Alternate Name. You may also draw the gas station as an area and the other business (like convenience store, car wash, tyre sale) as a point within the area. If the name of the gas station is not clear, leave the field blank. <br />
<br />
It is a good rule to generally lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of created data. Gas station on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above. Contact your area manager for unlock and lock after you have edited. <br />
<br />
====Gas Station Brands ====<br />
Please use the GPS layer in WME to see if the gas station is in use. Gas station brands marked "p" are private and may be closed in some states for tax reasons. The brands have a link to the brands website, if we could find one.<br />

===Service Areas===<br />
* Car Parks should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Car_Parks|Parking Areas]].<br />
* Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Petrol_Stations|Petrol Stations]].<br />
* Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.<br />
* Do not add a City or Street name to any service, road with the exception of the ramps.<br />
* Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads. <br />
<br />
For more information on how junction locking works in Waze see the forum thread:<br />
[https://world.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13094 Modifying the lock option (and some explanations)]<br />
<br />
===Railways===<br />
* Railway lines should be drawn in as "Railroad" type roads, especially if there are other streets nearby. They do not appear in the client, but they potentially keep Wazers on trains from polluting the local speed data.<br />
* Railroad Segments should be named "Railway" with no city.<br />
* Railroad Segments can be connected to the road network if there is an actual crossing. The Railroad type no longer is routable from the road network.<br />
* Railway Stations should just be labelled 'Railway Station' as search results will be available from external search providers.<br />

=='''Landmarks types that should NOT be added to the Map'''==<br />
Landmarks smaller than about 1600m&sup2; (40m x 40m) won't appear on the client, so there's no point adding them to the map. (A standard build McDonald's with Drive-thru is approximately 1000m&sup2;)<br />
<br />
''It is '''not''' necessary to add individual businesses, as they are likely to change over time. Waze search results will be available from external providers and this negates the need to maintain landmarks within the editor.''</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/How_to_create_and_edit_Places&diff=148556User:Machete808/How to create and edit Places2016-07-27T16:49:20Z<p>Machete808: </p>
<hr />
<div>{{mbox | type = construction | text = This part of the wiki page is under construction. For an overview of latest guidelines, please see the [[India/MapRaid_troubleshooting|the latest updates]].}}<br />
<br />
=='''Introduction'''==<br />
''This forms part of [[India#Editing Best Practice| India Editing Best Practice]]. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines.''<br />
<br />
Places are the Waze map elements marking points of interest, including businesses as well as larger locations that serve as landmarks on the map.<br />
<br />
For the purposes of searching for addresses or businesses, Waze does use external providers, such as Google, as an alternate source of information when its own database lacks them.<br />
<br />
However, Waze search actually prefers its own data, so editors are strongly encouraged to add Places to the map. These can be added through the Places tool in the app when a Wazer is at a location.<br />
<br />
But Waze editors can add many more Places more quickly using the Waze Map Editor (WME).<br />
<br />
To create a place, hover the cursor over the Place icon — it's the teardrop-shaped icon toward the center of the blue toolbar above the map. That will give you a menu to select the category (this can be changed later, and there are more subcategories you can choose).<br />
<br />
Hovering over each of these categories gives you the option to draw the place as a “Point” or “Area.”<br />
<br />
Click on the map to position the Point. If it’s an Area type, click to anchor it and then pull to expand the polygon to fill the entire Place, to the fence line or other boundary.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''Point and Area types'''==<br />
<br />

* Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Petrol_Stations|Petrol Stations]].<br />
* Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.<br />
* Do not add a City or Street name to any service, road with the exception of the ramps.<br />
* Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads. <br />
<br />
For more information on how junction locking works in Waze see the forum thread:<br />
[https://world.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13094 Modifying the lock option (and some explanations)]<br />
<br />
===Railways===<br />
* Railway lines should be drawn in as "Railroad" type roads, especially if there are other streets nearby. They do not appear in the client, but they potentially keep Wazers on trains from polluting the local speed data.<br />
* Railroad Segments should be named "Railway" with no city.<br />
* Railroad Segments can be connected to the road network if there is an actual crossing. The Railroad type no longer is routable from the road network.<br />
* Railway Stations should just be labelled 'Railway Station' as search results will be available from external search providers.<br />

=='''Landmarks types that should NOT be added to the Map'''==<br />
Landmarks smaller than about 1600m&sup2; (40m x 40m) won't appear on the client, so there's no point adding them to the map. (A standard build McDonald's with Drive-thru is approximately 1000m&sup2;)<br />
<br />
''It is '''not''' necessary to add individual businesses, as they are likely to change over time. Waze search results will be available from external providers and this negates the need to maintain landmarks within the editor.''</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/How_to_create_and_edit_Places&diff=148555User:Machete808/How to create and edit Places2016-07-27T16:46:28Z<p>Machete808: </p>
<hr />
<div>{{mbox | type = construction | text = This part of the wiki page is under construction. For an overview of latest guidelines, please see the [[India/MapRaid_troubleshooting|the latest updates]].}}<br />
<br />
=='''Introduction'''==<br />
''This forms part of [[India#Editing Best Practice| India Editing Best Practice]]. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines.''<br />
<br />
Places are the Waze map elements marking points of interest, including businesses as well as larger locations that serve as landmarks on the map.<br />
<br />
For the purposes of searching for addresses or businesses, Waze does use external providers, such as Google, as an alternate source of information when its own database lacks them.<br />
<br />
However, Waze search actually prefers its own data, so editors are strongly encouraged to add Places to the map. These can be added through the Places tool in the app when a Wazer is at a location.<br />
<br />
But Waze editors can add many more Places more quickly using the Waze Map Editor (WME).<br />
<br />
To create a place, hover the cursor over the Place icon — it's the teardrop-shaped icon toward the center of the blue toolbar above the map. That will give you a menu to select the category (this can be changed later, and there are more subcategories you can choose).<br />
<br />
Hovering over each of these categories gives you the option to draw the place as a “Point” or “Area.”<br />
<br />
Click on the map to position the Point. If it’s an Area type, click to anchor it and then pull to expand the polygon to fill the entire Place, to the fence line or other boundary.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''Point and Area types'''==<br />
<br />
A Place can be a 'Point' or an 'Area'. Above a given size, Area Places become visible in the client. In India, where not all the roads are named on the Waze map, many Places are mapped as Area type to help the driver orient themselves on their route.<br />
<br />
A Point Place is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called "Residential”, which are private addresses. These are always Point Places<br />
<br />
=='''Places related to roads and navigation'''==<br />
This class of Place is used to either label major junctions or suppress traffic reports where Wazers may be stopped/parked/waiting:<br />
===Junctions===<br />
Major junctions, particularly on Highways, should be labelled with a Place.<br />
<br />
Under no circumstances should the road name or city name fields of a segment be used for naming of a junction. <br />
<br />
The Place should be kept tight to the road system to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding Places via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
Interchange:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Interchange.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Complex shaped junction:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Complex Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Roundabout Based Junctions===<br />
To aid navigation instructions, roundabout segments should typically remain '''unnamed'''. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then this can be labelled using a landmark of "Junction/Intersection" type that fills the centre of the roundabout. This only applies to big roundabouts that are larger than 30 metres.<br />
<br />
The landmark should be kept tight to the roundabout to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Roundabout Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Large, freehand shapes should be avoided...<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Large Freehand Shapes.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Car Parks===<br />
Use the "Parking lot" Place type. Include the main route through the car park using a Parking lot road type. Do '''NOT''' draw every single row within the car park.<br />
<br />
Parking lot ''roads'' should not be named, as it looks better to have a label on the landmark.<br />
Public Car parks, i.e. operated by the City Municipal Corporation, should be labelled with [P].<br />
Customer car parks for business should not be labelled this way, but may be drawn in. Names of the car parks do not need to be added.<br />
Park and Ride can be labelled with [P+R] (same for bus, railway and metro).<br />
<br />
* ''See the main [[Best_map_editing_practice#Parking_Lots|Best Practice for more on mapping parking lots]]''<br />
<br />
===Gas Stations===<br />
<br />
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:<br />
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place. <br />
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map<br />
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road" <br />
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.<br />
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.<br />
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel <br />
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand <br />
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.<br />
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.<br />
* Lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of data. Gas stations on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above (ask your group for help if it is above your level)<br />
<br />
Gas Stations are drawn as Places. Add them as an area and avoid point Places. The fence line should include the entrance, parking lots, toilets, stores within the premises that are a part of the gas station. Don’t ‘ snap’ the area to the roads.<br />
<br />
Most stations are small in India and occupy different shapes. Stretch them to your best ability so that they are visible on the waze app. Please ensure the fence line does not cross the road or neighbouring buildings or structures - zoom in for better stretching the boundary.<br />
<br />
====How to====<br />
* To add a gas stations, create a Place by clicking the (picture) and choose “car services”. This will give you a blue pointer. Click on top of the gas station. A menu appears on the left side. <br />
* Click Gas Station. Also, click the area tab. Pull the geometry nodes to the sides around the Gas Station. Fill in the Brand. If the station has a separate name, you can add it in the Name field. <br />
* Add info at the more info tab, like opening and closing time. A lot of gas stations in India close at night mainly those within city limits. <br />
* The road within the gas station should be typed “parking lot road” and connected to the road where the gas station is located. Once this is done, turn indicators will appear as arrows. Most gas stations have one entry and one exit, so the parking lot road should be one way, please mark it accordingly. <br />
* Once the road has been created and the turns are marked, please drag the “stop point” that appears on the “gas station area” to the centre of the parking lot road or the most probable area for filling the gas. <br />
* You may add any store that exists at the gas station, like “Indian Oil - Tyre Plus” if two businesses occur at the same premises or a common parking lot road as an Alternate Name. You may also draw the gas station as an area and the other business (like convenience store, car wash, tyre sale) as a point within the area. If the name of the gas station is not clear, leave the field blank. <br />
<br />
It is a good rule to generally lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of created data. Gas station on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above. Contact your area manager for unlock and lock after you have edited. <br />
<br />
====Gas Station Brands ====<br />
Please use the GPS layer in WME to see if the gas station is in use. Gas station brands marked "p" are private and may be closed in some states for tax reasons. The brands have a link to the brands website, if we could find one.<br />

A Place can be a 'Point' or an 'Area'. Above a given size, Area Places become visible in the client. In India, where not all the roads are named on the Waze map, many Places are mapped as Area type to help the driver orient themselves on their route.<br />
<br />
A Point Place is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called "Residential”, which are private addresses. These are always Point Places<br />
=='''Places related to roads and navigation'''==<br />
This class of Place is used to either label major junctions or suppress traffic reports where Wazers may be stopped/parked/waiting:<br />
===Junctions===<br />
Major junctions, particularly on Highways, should be labelled with a Place.<br />
<br />
Under no circumstances should the road name or city name fields of a segment be used for naming of a junction. <br />
<br />
The Place should be kept tight to the road system to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding Places via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
Interchange:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Interchange.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Complex shaped junction:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Complex Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Roundabout Based Junctions===<br />
To aid navigation instructions, roundabout segments should typically remain '''unnamed'''. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then this can be labelled using a landmark of "Junction/Intersection" type that fills the centre of the roundabout. This only applies to big roundabouts that are larger than 30 metres.<br />
<br />
The landmark should be kept tight to the roundabout to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Roundabout Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Large, freehand shapes should be avoided...<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Large Freehand Shapes.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Car Parks===<br />
Use the "Parking lot" Place type. Include the main route through the car park using a Parking lot road type. Do '''NOT''' draw every single row within the car park.<br />
<br />
Parking lot ''roads'' should not be named, as it looks better to have a label on the landmark.<br />
Public Car parks, i.e. operated by the City Municipal Corporation, should be labelled with [P].<br />
Customer car parks for business should not be labelled this way, but may be drawn in. Names of the car parks do not need to be added.<br />
Park and Ride can be labelled with [P+R] (same for bus, railway and metro).<br />
<br />
* ''See the main [[Best_map_editing_practice#Parking_Lots|Best Practice for more on mapping parking lots]]''<br />
<br />
===Gas Stations===<br />
<br />
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:<br />
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place. <br />
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map<br />
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road" <br />
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.<br />
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.<br />
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel <br />
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand <br />
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.<br />
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.<br />
* Lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of data. Gas stations on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above (ask your group for help if it is above your level)<br />
<br />
Gas Stations are drawn as Places. Add them as an area and avoid point Places. The fence line should include the entrance, parking lots, toilets, stores within the premises that are a part of the gas station. Don’t ‘ snap’ the area to the roads.<br />
<br />
Most stations are small in India and occupy different shapes. Stretch them to your best ability so that they are visible on the waze app. Please ensure the fence line does not cross the road or neighbouring buildings or structures - zoom in for better stretching the boundary.<br />
<br />
====How to====<br />
* To add a gas stations, create a Place by clicking the (picture) and choose “car services”. This will give you a blue pointer. Click on top of the gas station. A menu appears on the left side. <br />
* Click Gas Station. Also, click the area tab. Pull the geometry nodes to the sides around the Gas Station. Fill in the Brand. If the station has a separate name, you can add it in the Name field. <br />
* Add info at the more info tab, like opening and closing time. A lot of gas stations in India close at night mainly those within city limits. <br />
* The road within the gas station should be typed “parking lot road” and connected to the road where the gas station is located. Once this is done, turn indicators will appear as arrows. Most gas stations have one entry and one exit, so the parking lot road should be one way, please mark it accordingly. <br />
* Once the road has been created and the turns are marked, please drag the “stop point” that appears on the “gas station area” to the centre of the parking lot road or the most probable area for filling the gas. <br />
* You may add any store that exists at the gas station, like “Indian Oil - Tyre Plus” if two businesses occur at the same premises or a common parking lot road as an Alternate Name. You may also draw the gas station as an area and the other business (like convenience store, car wash, tyre sale) as a point within the area. If the name of the gas station is not clear, leave the field blank. <br />
<br />
It is a good rule to generally lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of created data. Gas station on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above. Contact your area manager for unlock and lock after you have edited. <br />
<br />
====Gas Station Brands ====<br />
Please use the GPS layer in WME to see if the gas station is in use. Gas station brands marked "p" are private and may be closed in some states for tax reasons. The brands have a link to the brands website, if we could find one.<br />

===Service Areas===<br />
* Car Parks should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Car_Parks|Parking Areas]].<br />
* Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Petrol_Stations|Petrol Stations]].<br />
* Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.<br />
* Do not add a City or Street name to any service, road with the exception of the ramps.<br />
* Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads. <br />
<br />
For more information on how junction locking works in Waze see the forum thread:<br />
[https://world.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13094 Modifying the lock option (and some explanations)]<br />
<br />
===Railways===<br />
* Railway lines should be drawn in as "Railroad" type roads, especially if there are other streets nearby. They do not appear in the client, but they potentially keep Wazers on trains from polluting the local speed data.<br />
* Railroad Segments should be named "Railway" with no city.<br />
* Railroad Segments can be connected to the road network if there is an actual crossing. The Railroad type no longer is routable from the road network.<br />
* Railway Stations should just be labelled 'Railway Station' as search results will be available from external search providers.<br />

=='''Landmarks types that should NOT be added to the Map'''==<br />
Landmarks smaller than about 1600m&sup2; (40m x 40m) won't appear on the client, so there's no point adding them to the map. (A standard build McDonald's with Drive-thru is approximately 1000m&sup2;)<br />
<br />
''It is '''not''' necessary to add individual businesses, as they are likely to change over time. Waze search results will be available from external providers and this negates the need to maintain landmarks within the editor.''</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/How_to_create_and_edit_Places&diff=148534User:Machete808/How to create and edit Places2016-07-26T23:33:24Z<p>Machete808: </p>
<hr />
<div>{{mbox | type = construction | text = This part of the wiki page is under construction. For an overview of latest guidelines, please see the [[India/MapRaid_troubleshooting|the latest updates]].}}<br />
<br />
=='''Introduction'''==<br />
''This forms part of [[India#Editing Best Practice| India Editing Best Practice]]. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines.''<br />
<br />
Places are the Waze map elements marking points of interest, including businesses as well as larger locations that serve as landmarks on the map.<br />
<br />
For the purposes of searching for addresses or businesses, Waze does use external providers, such as Google, as an alternate source of information when its own database lacks them.<br />
<br />
However, Waze search actually prefers its own data, so editors are strongly encouraged to add Places to the map. These can be added through the Places tool in the app when a Wazer is at a location.<br />
<br />
But Waze editors can add many more Places more quickly using WME.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''Places related to roads and navigation'''==<br />
This class of Place is used to either label major junctions or suppress traffic reports where Wazers may be stopped/parked/waiting:<br />
===Junctions===<br />
Major junctions, particularly on Highways, should be labelled with a Place.<br />
<br />
Under no circumstances should the road name or city name fields of a segment be used for naming of a junction. <br />
<br />
The Place should be kept tight to the road system to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding Places via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
Interchange:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Interchange.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Complex shaped junction:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Complex Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Roundabout Based Junctions===<br />
To aid navigation instructions, roundabout segments should typically remain '''unnamed'''. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then this can be labelled using a landmark of "Junction/Intersection" type that fills the centre of the roundabout. This only applies to big roundabouts that are larger than 30 metres.<br />
<br />
The landmark should be kept tight to the roundabout to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Roundabout Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Large, freehand shapes should be avoided...<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Large Freehand Shapes.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Car Parks===<br />
Use the "Parking lot" Place type. Include the main route through the car park using a Parking lot road type. Do '''NOT''' draw every single row within the car park.<br />
<br />
Parking lot ''roads'' should not be named, as it looks better to have a label on the landmark.<br />
Public Car parks, i.e. operated by the City Municipal Corporation, should be labelled with [P].<br />
Customer car parks for business should not be labelled this way, but may be drawn in. Names of the car parks do not need to be added.<br />
Park and Ride can be labelled with [P+R] (same for bus, railway and metro).<br />
<br />
* ''See the main [[Best_map_editing_practice#Parking_Lots|Best Practice for more on mapping parking lots]]''<br />
<br />
===Gas Stations===<br />
<br />
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:<br />
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place. <br />
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map<br />
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road" <br />
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.<br />
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.<br />
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel <br />
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand <br />
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.<br />
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.<br />
* Lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of data. Gas stations on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above (ask your group for help if it is above your level)<br />
<br />
Gas Stations are drawn as Places. Add them as an area and avoid point Places. The fence line should include the entrance, parking lots, toilets, stores within the premises that are a part of the gas station. Don’t ‘ snap’ the area to the roads.<br />
<br />
Most stations are small in India and occupy different shapes. Stretch them to your best ability so that they are visible on the waze app. Please ensure the fence line does not cross the road or neighbouring buildings or structures - zoom in for better stretching the boundary.<br />
<br />
====How to====<br />
* To add a gas stations, create a Place by clicking the (picture) and choose “car services”. This will give you a blue pointer. Click on top of the gas station. A menu appears on the left side. <br />
* Click Gas Station. Also, click the area tab. Pull the geometry nodes to the sides around the Gas Station. Fill in the Brand. If the station has a separate name, you can add it in the Name field. <br />
* Add info at the more info tab, like opening and closing time. A lot of gas stations in India close at night mainly those within city limits. <br />
* The road within the gas station should be typed “parking lot road” and connected to the road where the gas station is located. Once this is done, turn indicators will appear as arrows. Most gas stations have one entry and one exit, so the parking lot road should be one way, please mark it accordingly. <br />
* Once the road has been created and the turns are marked, please drag the “stop point” that appears on the “gas station area” to the centre of the parking lot road or the most probable area for filling the gas. <br />
* You may add any store that exists at the gas station, like “Indian Oil - Tyre Plus” if two businesses occur at the same premises or a common parking lot road as an Alternate Name. You may also draw the gas station as an area and the other business (like convenience store, car wash, tyre sale) as a point within the area. If the name of the gas station is not clear, leave the field blank. <br />
<br />
It is a good rule to generally lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of created data. Gas station on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above. Contact your area manager for unlock and lock after you have edited. <br />
<br />
====Gas Station Brands ====<br />
Please use the GPS layer in WME to see if the gas station is in use. Gas station brands marked "p" are private and may be closed in some states for tax reasons. The brands have a link to the brands website, if we could find one.<br />

===Service Areas===<br />
* Car Parks should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Car_Parks|Parking Areas]].<br />
* Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Petrol_Stations|Petrol Stations]].<br />
* Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.<br />
* Do not add a City or Street name to any service, road with the exception of the ramps.<br />
* Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads. <br />
<br />
For more information on how junction locking works in Waze see the forum thread:<br />
[https://world.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13094 Modifying the lock option (and some explanations)]<br />
<br />
===Railways===<br />
* Railway lines should be drawn in as "Railroad" type roads, especially if there are other streets nearby. They do not appear in the client, but they potentially keep Wazers on trains from polluting the local speed data.<br />
* Railroad Segments should be named "Railway" with no city.<br />
* Railroad Segments can be connected to the road network if there is an actual crossing. The Railroad type no longer is routable from the road network.<br />
* Railway Stations should just be labelled 'Railway Station' as search results will be available from external search providers.<br />

=='''Landmarks types that should NOT be added to the Map'''==<br />
Landmarks smaller than about 1600m&sup2; (40m x 40m) won't appear on the client, so there's no point adding them to the map. (A standard build McDonald's with Drive-thru is approximately 1000m&sup2;)<br />
<br />
''It is '''not''' necessary to add individual businesses, as they are likely to change over time. Waze search results will be available from external providers and this negates the need to maintain landmarks within the editor.''</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/How_to_create_and_edit_Places&diff=148530User:Machete808/How to create and edit Places2016-07-26T23:15:15Z<p>Machete808: </p>
<hr />
<div>{{mbox | type = construction | text = This part of the wiki page is under construction. For an overview of latest guidelines, please see the [[India/MapRaid_troubleshooting|the latest updates]].}}<br />
<br />
=='''Introduction'''==<br />
''This forms part of [[India#Editing Best Practice| India Editing Best Practice]]. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines.''<br />
<br />
Places are the Waze map elements marking points of interest, including businesses as well as larger locations that serve as landmarks on the map.<br />
<br />
For the purposes of searching for addresses or businesses, Waze does use external providers, such as Google, as an alternate source of information when its own database lacks them.<br />
<br />
However, Waze search actually prefers its own data, so editors are strongly encouraged to add Places to the map. These can be added through the Places tool in the app when a Wazer is at a location.<br />
<br />
But Waze editors can add many more Places more quickly using WME.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''Places related to roads and navigation'''==<br />
This class of Place is used to either label major junctions or suppress traffic reports where Wazers may be stopped/parked/waiting:<br />
===Junctions===<br />
Major junctions, particularly on Highways, should be labelled with a Place.<br />
<br />
Under no circumstances should the road name or city name fields of a segment be used for naming of a junction. <br />
<br />
The Place should be kept tight to the road system to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding Places via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
Interchange:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Interchange.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Complex shaped junction:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Complex Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Roundabout Based Junctions===<br />
To aid navigation instructions, roundabout segments should typically remain '''unnamed'''. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then this can be labelled using a landmark of "Junction/Intersection" type that fills the centre of the roundabout. This only applies to big roundabouts that are larger than 30 metres.<br />
<br />
The landmark should be kept tight to the roundabout to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Roundabout Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Large, freehand shapes should be avoided...<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Large Freehand Shapes.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Car Parks===<br />
Use the "Parking lot" landmark type. Include the main route through the car park using a Parking lot road type. Do '''NOT''' draw every single row within the car park.<br />
<br />
Parking lot ''roads'' should not be named, as it looks better to have a label on the landmark.<br />
Public Car parks, i.e. operated by the City Muncipal Corporation, should be labelled with [P].<br />
Customer car parks for business should not be labelled this way, but may be drawn in. Names of the car parks do not need to be added.<br />
Park and Ride can be labelled with [P+R] (same for bus, railway and metro).<br />
<br />
* ''See the main [[Best_map_editing_practice#Parking_Lots|Best Practice for more on mapping parking lots]]''<br />
<br />
===Gas Stations===<br />
<br />
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:<br />
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place. <br />
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map<br />
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road" <br />
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.<br />
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.<br />
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel <br />
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand <br />
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.<br />
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.<br />
* Lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of data. Gas stations on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above (ask your group for help if it is above your level)<br />
<br />
Gas Stations are drawn as Places. Add them as an area and avoid point Places. The fence line should include the entrance, parking lots, toilets, stores within the premises that are a part of the gas station. Don’t ‘ snap’ the area to the roads.<br />
<br />
Most stations are small in India and occupy different shapes. Stretch them to your best ability so that they are visible on the waze app. Please ensure the fence line does not cross the road or neighbouring buildings or structures - zoom in for better stretching the boundary.<br />
<br />
====How to====<br />
* To add a gas stations, create a Place by clicking the (picture) and choose “car services”. This will give you a blue pointer. Click on top of the gas station. A menu appears on the left side. <br />
* Click Gas Station. Also, click the area tab. Pull the geometry nodes to the sides around the Gas Station. Fill in the Brand. If the station has a separate name, you can add it in the Name field. <br />
* Add info at the more info tab, like opening and closing time. A lot of gas stations in India close at night mainly those within city limits. <br />
* The road within the gas station should be typed “parking lot road” and connected to the road where the gas station is located. Once this is done, turn indicators will appear as arrows. Most gas stations have one entry and one exit, so the parking lot road should be one way, please mark it accordingly. <br />
* Once the road has been created and the turns are marked, please drag the “stop point” that appears on the “gas station area” to the centre of the parking lot road or the most probable area for filling the gas. <br />
* You may add any store that exists at the gas station, like “Indian Oil - Tyre Plus” if two businesses occur at the same premises or a common parking lot road as an Alternate Name. You may also draw the gas station as an area and the other business (like convenience store, car wash, tyre sale) as a point within the area. If the name of the gas station is not clear, leave the field blank. <br />
<br />
It is a good rule to generally lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of created data. Gas station on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above. Contact your area manager for unlock and lock after you have edited. <br />
<br />
====Gas Station Brands ====<br />
Please use the GPS layer in WME to see if the gas station is in use. Gas station brands marked "p" are private and may be closed in some states for tax reasons. The brands have a link to the brands website, if we could find one.<br />

===Service Areas===<br />
* Car Parks should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Car_Parks|Parking Areas]].<br />
* Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Petrol_Stations|Petrol Stations]].<br />
* Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.<br />
* Do not add a City or Street name to any service, road with the exception of the ramps.<br />
* Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads. <br />
<br />
For more information on how junction locking works in Waze see the forum thread:<br />
[https://world.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13094 Modifying the lock option (and some explanations)]<br />
<br />
===Railways===<br />
* Railway lines should be drawn in as "Railroad" type roads, especially if there are other streets nearby. They do not appear in the client, but they potentially keep Wazers on trains from polluting the local speed data.<br />
* Railroad Segments should be named "Railway" with no city.<br />
* Railroad Segments should not be connected to the road network at any point.<br />
* Railway Stations should just be labelled 'Railway Station' as search results will be available from external search providers.<br />

===Gas Stations===<br />
<br />
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:<br />
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place. <br />
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map<br />
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road" <br />
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.<br />
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.<br />
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel <br />
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand <br />
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.<br />
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.<br />
* Lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of data. Gas stations on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above (ask your group for help if it is above your level)<br />
<br />
Gas Stations are drawn as Places. Add them as an area and avoid point Places. The fence line should include the entrance, parking lots, toilets, stores within the premises that are a part of the gas station. Don’t ‘ snap’ the area to the roads.<br />
<br />
Most stations are small in India and occupy different shapes. Stretch them to your best ability so that they are visible on the waze app. Please ensure the fence line does not cross the road or neighbouring buildings or structures - zoom in for better stretching the boundary.<br />

* Click Gas Station. Also, click the area tab. Pull the geometry nodes to the sides around the Gas Station. Fill in the Brand. If the station has a separate name, you can add it in the Name field. <br />
* Add info at the more info tab, like opening and closing time. A lot of gas stations in India close at night mainly those within city limits. <br />
* The road within the gas station should be typed “parking lot road” and connected to the road where the gas station is located. Once this is done, turn indicators will appear as arrows. Most gas stations have one entry and one exit, so the parking lot road should be one way, please mark it accordingly. <br />
* Once the road has been created and the turns are marked, please drag the “stop point” that appears on the “gas station area” to the centre of the parking lot road or the most probable area for filling the gas. <br />
* You may add any store that exists at the gas station, like “Indian Oil - Tyre Plus” if two businesses occur at the same premises or a common parking lot road as an Alternate Name. You may also draw the gas station as an area and the other business (like convenience store, car wash, tyre sale) as a point within the area. If the name of the gas station is not clear, leave the field blank. <br />
<br />
It is a good rule to generally lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of created data. Gas station on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above. Contact your area manager for unlock and lock after you have edited. <br />
<br />
====Gas Station Brands ====<br />
Please use the GPS layer in WME to see if the gas station is in use. Gas station brands marked "p" are private and may be closed in some states for tax reasons. The brands have a link to the brands website, if we could find one.<br />

===Service Areas===<br />
* Car Parks should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Car_Parks|Parking Areas]].<br />
* Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Petrol_Stations|Petrol Stations]].<br />
* Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.<br />
* Do not add a City or Street name to any service, road with the exception of the ramps.<br />
* Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads. <br />
<br />
For more information on how junction locking works in Waze see the forum thread:<br />
[https://world.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13094 Modifying the lock option (and some explanations)]<br />
<br />
===Railways===<br />
* Railway lines should be drawn in as "Railroad" type roads, especially if there are other streets nearby. They do not appear in the client, but they potentially keep Wazers on trains from polluting the local speed data.<br />
* Railroad Segments should be named "Railway" with no city.<br />
* Railroad Segments should not be connected to the road network at any point.<br />
* Railway Stations should just be labelled 'Railway Station' as search results will be available from external search providers.<br />

=='''Landmarks types that should NOT be added to the Map'''==<br />
Landmarks smaller than about 1600m&sup2; (40m x 40m) won't appear on the client, so there's no point adding them to the map. (A standard build McDonald's with Drive-thru is approximately 1000m&sup2;)<br />
<br />
''It is '''not''' necessary to add individual businesses, as they are likely to change over time. Waze search results will be available from external providers and this negates the need to maintain landmarks within the editor.''</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/How_to_create_and_edit_Places&diff=148527User:Machete808/How to create and edit Places2016-07-26T23:02:20Z<p>Machete808: Created page with "{{mbox | type = construction | text = This part of the wiki page is under construction.

<div>{{mbox | type = construction | text = This part of the wiki page is under construction. For an overview of latest guidelines, please see the [[India/MapRaid_troubleshooting|the latest updates]].}}<br />
<br />
=='''Introduction'''==<br />
''This forms part of [[India#Editing Best Practice| India Editing Best Practice]]. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines.''<br />
<br />
Only actual "Landmarks" should be mapped, i.e. those which help the driver to find their bearings.<br />
<br />
For the purposes of searching for addresses or businesses, Waze gets its results from other providers ([http://www.bing.com/maps/ Bing], [http://maps.google.co.uk/ Google], [http://foursquare.com/ foursquare]), so it's not necessary to add them to the map as well.<br />
<br />
''Generally, landmarks should be drawn as simply as possible. Most structures can be represented by a basic rectangle. Do not attempt to accurately match the shape of a building or parking lot, as much of the detail will be lost on the client.''<br />
<br />
=='''Landmarks related to roads and navigation'''==<br />
This class of landmarks is used to either label major junctions or suppress traffic reports where Wazers may be stopped/parked/waiting:<br />
===Junctions===<br />
Major junctions, particularly on Highways, should be labelled with a landmark.<br />
<br />
Under no circumstances should the road name or city name fields of a segment be used for naming of a junction. <br />
<br />
The landmark should be kept tight to the road system to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
Interchange:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Interchange.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Complex shaped junction:<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Complex Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Roundabout Based Junctions===<br />
To aid navigation instructions, roundabout segments should typically remain '''unnamed'''. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then this can be labelled using a landmark of "Junction/Intersection" type that fills the centre of the roundabout. This only applies to big roundabouts that are larger than 30 metres.<br />
<br />
The landmark should be kept tight to the roundabout to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via [https://world.waze.com/editor/ Waze Map Editor], makes this process easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Roundabout Shaped Junction.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Large, freehand shapes should be avoided...<br />
<br />
[[Image:India Large Freehand Shapes.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Car Parks===<br />
Use the "Parking lot" landmark type. Include the main route through the car park using a Parking lot road type. Do '''NOT''' draw every single row within the car park.<br />
<br />
Parking lot ''roads'' should not be named, as it looks better to have a label on the landmark.<br />
Public Car parks, i.e. operated by the City Muncipal Corporation, should be labelled with [P].<br />
Customer car parks for business should not be labelled this way, but may be drawn in. Names of the car parks do not need to be added.<br />
Park and Ride can be labelled with [P+R] (same for bus, railway and metro).<br />
<br />
* ''See the main [[Best_map_editing_practice#Parking_Lots|Best Practice for more on mapping parking lots]]''<br />
<br />
===Gas Stations===<br />
<br />
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:<br />
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place. <br />
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map<br />
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road" <br />
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.<br />
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.<br />
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel <br />
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand <br />
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.<br />
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.<br />
* Lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of data. Gas stations on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above (ask your group for help if it is above your level)<br />
<br />
Gas Stations are drawn as Places. Add them as an area and avoid point Places. The fence line should include the entrance, parking lots, toilets, stores within the premises that are a part of the gas station. Don’t ‘ snap’ the area to the roads.<br />
<br />
Most stations are small in India and occupy different shapes. Stretch them to your best ability so that they are visible on the waze app. Please ensure the fence line does not cross the road or neighbouring buildings or structures - zoom in for better stretching the boundary.<br />
<br />
====How to====<br />
* To add a gas stations, create a Place by clicking the (picture) and choose “car services”. This will give you a blue pointer. Click on top of the gas station. A menu appears on the left side. <br />
* Click Gas Station. Also, click the area tab. Pull the geometry nodes to the sides around the Gas Station. Fill in the Brand. If the station has a separate name, you can add it in the Name field. <br />
* Add info at the more info tab, like opening and closing time. A lot of gas stations in India close at night mainly those within city limits. <br />
* The road within the gas station should be typed “parking lot road” and connected to the road where the gas station is located. Once this is done, turn indicators will appear as arrows. Most gas stations have one entry and one exit, so the parking lot road should be one way, please mark it accordingly. <br />
* Once the road has been created and the turns are marked, please drag the “stop point” that appears on the “gas station area” to the centre of the parking lot road or the most probable area for filling the gas. <br />
* You may add any store that exists at the gas station, like “Indian Oil - Tyre Plus” if two businesses occur at the same premises or a common parking lot road as an Alternate Name. You may also draw the gas station as an area and the other business (like convenience store, car wash, tyre sale) as a point within the area. If the name of the gas station is not clear, leave the field blank. <br />
<br />
It is a good rule to generally lock a gas station at Level 2 to prevent loss of created data. Gas station on major highways need to be locked at Level 4 or above. Contact your area manager for unlock and lock after you have edited. <br />
<br />
====Gas Station Brands ====<br />
Please use the GPS layer in WME to see if the gas station is in use. Gas station brands marked "p" are private and may be closed in some states for tax reasons. The brands have a link to the brands website, if we could find one.<br />

===Service Areas===<br />
* Car Parks should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Car_Parks|Parking Areas]].<br />
* Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for [[How_to_label_and_name_landmarks_%India%29#Petrol_Stations|Petrol Stations]].<br />
* Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.<br />
* Do not add a City or Street name to any service, road with the exception of the ramps.<br />
* Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads. <br />

<br />
===Railways===<br />
* Railway lines should be drawn in as "Railroad" type roads, especially if there are other streets nearby. They do not appear in the client, but they potentially keep Wazers on trains from polluting the local speed data.<br />
* Railroad Segments should be named "Railway" with no city.<br />

=='''Landmarks types that should NOT be added to the Map'''==<br />
Landmarks smaller than about 1600m&sup2; (40m x 40m) won't appear on the client, so there's no point adding them to the map. (A standard build McDonald's with Drive-thru is approximately 1000m&sup2;)<br />
<br />
''It is '''not''' necessary to add individual businesses, as they are likely to change over time. Waze search results will be available from external providers and this negates the need to maintain landmarks within the editor.''</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=File:Vermontmap.png&diff=147857File:Vermontmap.png2016-07-10T06:57:59Z<p>Machete808: imagemap for Vermont raid</p>

== Selecting A Destination ==<br />
=== Search ===<br />
When a user enters search and selects a destination, several factors affect how the destination location is determined.<br />
==== Completed queries ====<br />
When a user enters a search query, Waze typically compares the the search queries to Address and Place data from Waze and Google. <br />
<br />
If the search query is parsed as an address (e.g. starts with a numeral or ends with a street identifier like Rd, St, Blvd, etc) then the search defaults to the "Search Results" tab. Otherwise, the search query is considered for a Place and the search defaults to the "Places" tab.<br />
<br />
In either case, the search algorithm determines a score based on comparing the search query to destination data including the name/address, the distance from the current location and other parameters. The results are then presented in the order of the score. Results can come from both Waze data and Google data.<br />
==== Searching by name ====<br />
When a destination is entered by name, Waze will search for a matching Waze Place name within the immediate area (or matching Place name with the city information that was entered. If it finds a matching Waze Place, it will base the routing on that Place and the closest segment, whether a named segment or in a parking lot.<br />
<br />
If Waze can't find it internally, it asks Google's Point-of Interesr (POI) map database. If Google returns a result, it will contain the Google POI name and the latitude/longitude coordinates. <br />
<br />
The final step of this process: Waze takes the Place name Google returned, and tries to find a matching Waze Place close to the target coordinates. If it finds an exact match, it will use the Waze Place as described above. <br />
<br />
If it can't find a match, it will use the Google coordinates for routing. A route with hat target may terminate closer to the main road than to the PLR mapped in WME for the Place.<br />
==== Searching by address ====<br />
When a Wazer enters a street address in search. Wake will return the best available result, in the following order of priority:<br />
<br />
• A Residential Place Point (RPP)<br />
<br />
• A House Number entered by a user (not from the imported database)<br />
<br />
• A Google Maps location<br />
<br />
• An imported House Number.<br />
<br />
The selection may revert to the Google location in the event that the name in the City field on the Waze map does not match the Google city name. More testing is needed to understand the variables involved in an address search.<br />
==== Autocomplete search results ====<br />
Full search results show in a separate results screen upon completion, when the Search key is tapped. Tabs for various sources appear across the bottom - Waze, Google, Yelp, etc.<br />
<br />
But Waze also returns "autocomplete" results as the search is being typed, shown as a dropdown from the search field. The results for autocomplete and full search work quite a bit differently.<br />
<br />
[Discussion here]<br />
==== Search results tab ====<br />
Under the Places tab are supposed to be only Waze Places. However, the current function has been shown to include other results as well, such as advertisements.<br />

== Mentoring ==<br />
Mentoring is the community’s program to teach the approved methods for editing the Waze map. A mentor is an experienced editor who offers help to newer Waze users in a variety of ways. It’s an excellent way to learn, share our experience and build a stronger community. <br /><br />
There are two approaches: Informal and Formal. Informal mentoring happens every time a Wazer asks a question or seeks help. In Thailand we communicate through our forum, the chat window on the Waze Map Editor (WME) and through the [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=168 forum] and its private messages (PMs), Google Hangouts and Slack. Any Waze editor can help with mentoring informally in this way..<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
=== Mentoring benefits ===<br />
Some benefits of participating in Formal Mentoring for the new Waze member include:<br />
* Learning the Waze environment and network of people more quickly.<br />
* Having trusted individuals to ask questions and share ideas freely.<br />
* Access to a trusted “sounding board” for your ideas and actions to share in confidence.<br />
* The chance to practice skills above your rank to be ready for promotion.<br />
For the mentor in training, there are also benefits:<br />
*Increased contribution to the Waze community by sharing your knowledge.<br />
*Better insight into broader ideas affecting Waze and an increased network of contacts.<br />
*Improved self-awareness and skill development.<br />
*By building up other members towards your own level, you reduce the long-term burden on yourself in managing your areas.<br />

<hr />
<div>== Introduction ==<br />
Aloha to everyone interested in editing the Waze map for Hawaii! We look forward to working with new editors to help keep up with changes to the transportation system and points-of-interest across the state. Adding new editors who live in Maui, Kauai and Hawaii counties is an especially critical priority, as well as editors with access to military bases, but everyone is welcome — your contributions are needed.<br /><br />
However, it's important that managers be able to contact you, so all editors will be required to have [https://www.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=165 private messaging] turned on.<br /><br />
<br />
== Major roads ==<br />
<br />
=== Functional Classification ===<br />
Hawaii is following the [[National_resources/USA/Functional_classification|Functional Classification]] (FC) system for the USA, according to the federal Functional Classification standards adopted by the state Department of Transportation. Please do not alter roadway types without consulting with a state manager.<br />
<br />
=== Local naming conventions ===<br />
Hawaii uses SR-## for all state routes. When working on an area, if you encounter a road with the old State Hwy ## naming in either the principal or alternate name fields, please change that name to the SR-## format, or send a PM to a state manager to alert them. We are now discussing (forum link here) which segments of major state highways should have the SR-## in the principal field to enable the shield to display and for clarity to visitors using shielded maps, and which should retain their Hawaiian name because of local conventions.<br />
<br />
Because most street and highway names are in the Hawaiian language, the editors are conducting a discussion (forum link here) about the use of diacriticals. The general practice now is to use street names without the diacriticals; the fonts in the editor currently don't fully support them anyway (the kahako is not available). However, where street signage includes them, some names do appear with the 'okina, represented as an apostrophe.<br />
<br />
=== Lock Levels ===<br />
<br />
We observe the following minimum lock levels for Waze road types:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; margin: 1em auto 1em auto; width: 50%"<br />
|+ HAWAII STANDARDS<br />
! ROAD TYPE !! LOCK LEVEL<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| All Others || 1<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note that these are minimums and, for protection, certain segments may be at higher lock levels.<br />
<br />
===U-turns===<br />
In Hawaii, U-turns on *two-way* Primary Street through Major Highway type roads may be enabled if it is explicitly allowed by signage. This is based on local ordinances such one enacted in the City and County of Honolulu (link here), which bars drivers from making a U-turn "upon any street in a business district, upon any highway with three or more lanes, or at any intersection where traffic is controlled by traffic signal lights, except as otherwise permitted by official signs and markings."<br />
<br />
Enabling U-turns even on streets where they may be legal has consequences on routing. This would be subject to changes in national guidance, but Hawaii editors should not enable them as a rule.<br />
<br />
== Community==<br />
===Other community resources===<br />
Hawaii maintains a Google Hangouts chat room for real-time communications among editors. Currently, the way to request being added to that chat room is to send a PM to one of the state managers (confirming this).<br />
There is also a [https://www.facebook.com/WazeHawaii?fref=ts Waze Hawaii Facebook page], but this is meant more as a channel for app changes for Wazers and general awareness.<br />
<br />
== Places==<br />
<br />
Hawaii follows the USA standard for Places (link here). Do not deviate from the guidelines without first obtaining consensus to do so via the state forum linked on this page.<br />
<br />
When adding a new place in WME, or approving a new place or a place update request (PUR), please be sure to do the following:<br />
Take the time to research all information regarding the place. Name, address, business website if they have one, phone number, etc. Check the appropriate "Services Offered" types.<br />
<br />
In Hawaii the street segment fronting the Place often has one of the Census Designated Place (CDP) names in the City field for help with navigation. However, the Place file should list the City as displayed on the website or other primary source, usually the postal address.<br />
<br />
Make sure any pictures submitted are usable. We have been rejecting photos with identifiable faces or license place numbers, although there is some dispute over whether this is sufficient grounds for rejection.<br />
<br />
Basically, use your common sense: Is the photo helpful to the Wazer in recognizing that they are in the right place? Examples of some types of pictures that are unusable (and should thus be rejected) are:<br />
* The inside of the business, or so close to the front door that you have to be at the front door to see it. The idea is to show it from far enough away that it gives an approaching driver an idea of what to look for.<br />
* Close-up of drive-through menu.<br />
* Upside down, blurry, rainy, fogged out, phone mount or part of car mostly blocking the view.<br />
* A shot that is clearly just a "Selfie" of the person taking the picture of him/herself in front of the place being added/updated.<br />
* Nudity/obscenity, or otherwise inappropriate.<br />
<br />
Finally, once the place has been added and updated it should be locked. If it is complete with at least a phone number, website and hours, it should be locked at a minimum of rank (level) 3. If time is limited, you should at least enter at least a street address and lock it at 2 for most types of places (don't do this for private/residence type). Doing this helps protect against future picture updates being simply accepted from "trusted updaters." Most drivers do not edit so will always be considered Rank 1 in WME. Any update they submit to an existing place will be flagged for review by an editor.<br />
<br />
Critical places such as airports, fire/police stations, jails/prisons, hospital/ER/urgent care locations should be locked at a minimum rank (level) of 4. They can be locked at a higher rank if circumstances warrant it.</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/Hawaii_test_page&diff=122867User:Machete808/Hawaii test page2015-10-19T17:56:13Z<p>Machete808: </p>

<div>== Introduction ==<br />
Aloha to everyone interested in editing the Waze map for Hawaii! We look forward to working with new editors to help keep up with changes to the transportation system and points-of-interest across the state. Adding new editors who live in Maui, Kauai and Hawaii counties is an especially critical priority, as well as editors with access to military bases, but everyone is welcome — your contributions are needed.<br /><br />
However, it's important that managers be able to contact you, so all editors will be required to have [https://www.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=165 private messaging] turned on.<br /><br />
<br />
== Major roads ==<br />
<br />
=== Functional Classification ===<br />
Hawaii is following the [[National_resources/USA/Functional_classification|Functional Classification]] (FC) system for the USA, according to the federal Functional Classification standards adopted by the state Department of Transportation. Please do not alter roadway types without consulting with a state manager.<br />
<br />
=== Local naming conventions ===<br />
Hawaii uses SR-## for all state routes. When working on an area, if you encounter a road with the old State Hwy ## naming in either the principal or alternate name fields, please change that name to the SR-## format, or send a PM to a state manager to alert them. We are now discussing (forum link here) which segments of major state highways should have the SR-## in the principal field to enable the shield to display and for clarity to visitors using shielded maps, and which should retain their Hawaiian name because of local conventions.<br />
<br />
Because most street and highway names are in the Hawaiian language, the editors are conducting a discussion (forum link here) about the use of diacriticals. The general practice now is to use street names without the diacriticals; the fonts in the editor currently don't fully support them anyway (the kahako is not available). However, where street signage includes them, some names do appear with the 'okina, represented as an apostrophe.<br />
<br />
=== Lock Levels ===<br />
<br />
We observe the following minimum lock levels for Waze road types:<br />

| All Others || 1<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note that these are minimums and, for protection, certain segments may be at higher lock levels.<br />
<br />
===U-turns===<br />
In Hawaii, U-turns on *two-way* Primary Street through Major Highway type roads may be enabled if it is explicitly allowed by signage. This is based on local ordinances such one enacted in the City and County of Honolulu (link here), which bars drivers from making a U-turn "upon any street in a business district, upon any highway with three or more lanes, or at any intersection where traffic is controlled by traffic signal lights, except as otherwise permitted by official signs and markings."<br />
<br />
Enabling U-turns even on streets where they may be legal has consequences on routing. This would be subject to changes in national guidance, but Hawaii editors should not enable them as a rule.<br />
<br />
== Community==<br />
===Other community resources===<br />
Hawaii maintains a Google Hangouts chat room for real-time communications among editors. Currently, the way to request being added to that chat room is to send a PM to one of the state managers (confirming this).<br />
There is also a [https://www.facebook.com/WazeHawaii?fref=ts Waze Hawaii Facebook page], but this is meant more as a channel for app changes for Wazers and general awareness.<br />
<br />
== Places==<br />
<br />
Hawaii follows the USA standard for Places (link here). Do not deviate from the guidelines without first obtaining consensus to do so via the state forum linked on this page.<br />
<br />
When adding a new place in WME, or approving a new place or a place update request (PUR), please be sure to do the following:<br />
Take the time to research all information regarding the place. Name, address, business website if they have one, phone number, etc. Check the appropriate "Services Offered" types.<br />
<br />
In Hawaii the street segment fronting the Place often has one of the Census Designated Place (CDP) names in the City field for help with navigation. However, the Place file should list the City as displayed on the website or other primary source, usually the postal address.<br />
<br />
Make sure any pictures submitted are usable. We have been rejecting photos with identifiable faces or license place numbers, although there is some dispute over whether this is sufficient grounds for rejection.<br />
<br />
Basically, use your common sense: Is the photo helpful to the Wazer in recognizing that they are in the right place? Examples of some types of pictures that are unusable (and should thus be rejected) are:<br />
* The inside of the business, or so close to the front door that you have to be at the front door to see it. The idea is to show it from far enough away that it gives an approaching driver an idea of what to look for.<br />
* Close-up of drive-through menu.<br />
* Upside down, blurry, rainy, fogged out, phone mount or part of car mostly blocking the view.<br />
* A shot that is clearly just a "Selfie" of the person taking the picture of him/herself in front of the place being added/updated.<br />
* Nudity/obscenity, or otherwise inappropriate.<br />
<br />
Finally, once the place has been added and updated it should be locked. If it is complete with at least a phone number, website and hours, it should be locked at a minimum of rank (level) 3. If time is limited, you should at least enter at least a street address and lock it at 2 for most types of places (don't do this for private/residence type). Doing this helps protect against future picture updates being simply accepted from "trusted updaters." Most drivers do not edit so will always be considered Rank 1 in WME. Any update they submit to an existing place will be flagged for review by an editor.<br />
<br />
Critical places such as airports, fire/police stations, jails/prisons, hospital/ER/urgent care locations should be locked at a minimum rank (level) of 4. They can be locked at a higher rank if circumstances warrant it.</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/Hawaii_test_page&diff=122785User:Machete808/Hawaii test page2015-10-19T13:28:52Z<p>Machete808: </p>

<br />
U-turns on *two-way* Primary Street through Major Highway type roads may be enabled in the following two circumstances: <br />
*1) The U-turn is _explicitly_ allowed by signage <br />
*2) The U-turn is otherwise legal and safe, and there is _at least_ 10.1 m (33 feet) from the left edge of the departure lane to the "destination" curb. This can include any median that may exist to the left of the departure lane. <br />
<br />
Do NOT make a point of enabling all U-turns valid under this guidance, only as you encounter them and they are necessary. Do not enable U-turns on Street type roads. This guidance could change in the future.</div>Machete808https://www.waze.com/wiki/Commons/index.php?title=User:Machete808/Hawaii_test_page&diff=122722User:Machete808/Hawaii test page2015-10-19T00:52:20Z<p>Machete808: /* Introduction */</p>
