Only actual "Places" or Points of Interests (POIs) should be mapped, i.e. those which help the driver to find their way.See the extended guidelines on [[Places|Places]] for more information.


<!--For the purposes of searching for addresses or businesses, Waze gets its results from other providers (Bing, Google, foursquare), so it's not necessary to add them to the map as well, unless the information from the other providers is incorrect.-->

====Petrol Pumps and Parking Lots====
Petrol Pumps (in Waze called "Gas stations") and Parking Lots should always be drawn as areas. For more information, see the section about it on the [[Places#Car_Parks_.2F_Parking_Lots|Places]] page.
Special Places are Petrol Pumps (in Waze called "Gas stations") and Parking Lots. Waze saves a lot of data with these Places and they need to be handled with care. Always draw them as areas. For more information, see the section about it on the [[Places#Parking_Lots|Places]] page.
 
<!--We would like to open up the Gas Stations feature in the Waze app and need to have as many Gas Stations  as possible added to the map. You can find them via Street View, and searching the websites of Gas Station businesses.
 
[[File:GasStationStop.png|thumb|right]]Gas stations (a.k.a Petrol pumps in India) should be marked according to the following guidelines:
* A "Gas Station" is drawn as an Area Place.
* The area is drawn over the entire forecourt, so it is visible on the map
* Routes in and out should be mapped with type "Parking Lot Road"
* All segments should have appropriate directions and junction arrows.
* The correct brand of fuel should be selected.
* Use the Place Name specified for the brand of fuel (see [[How_to_draw_and_label_landmarks_(India)#Petrol_Stations|local wiki]])
* Add all of the alternate names for that brand (see [[How_to_draw_and_label_landmarks_(India)#Petrol_Stations|local wiki]])
* If the station has a separate company name (Ex: Shaheed Jagat Singh Filling Station), add it in another Alternate Name field.
* Address and phone numbers should be added, if known.
* 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)
 
For more information and how to add Gas Stations, see [[How_to_draw_and_label_landmarks_(India)#Petrol_Stations|local wiki]]-->
