Places
IMPORTANT: When adding a new place, editing existing one, or working a Place Update Request (PUR), please be sure to zoom in to work. Ensure that it's in the correct location and run the WME Place Harmonizer script to verify that all available information is entered and correct. We want to make sure that Waze provides the best experience possible for our drivers. Finding a place through the search function in the client and then arriving at the destination accurately and efficiently is extremely important!
SER follows the national guidance for Places with some exceptions.
Places Not Mapped
In SER, we do NOT map the following places in exception to the national guidance. Any deviations to these will be locked to L5 or above. (There are some mapped rivers requested by Waze staff. This is NOT the standard.)
- Junctions / Interchanges
- Water (of all kinds) including but not limited to: Pool, Canal, River / Stream, Sea / Lake / Pond, Swamp / Marsh
- Islands
- Beaches
- Toll Plazas
When to use Area or Point
The following places are mapped (indicated below) as Area Places (APs) or Point Places (PPs) contrary to national guidance:
- City Hall is an AP
- Courthouse
- Government is an AP
- Library is an AP
- Post Office is an AP

- Museum is an AP
- Campgrounds / RV Parks are always PPs

Place Lock Standards
Lock Places to the standards below, only after ALL data fields have been filled. (If you are unable to find hours, it is okay to omit them.) For gas stations - DO NOT USE THE BRAND "UNBRANDED". If the gas station does not identify the brand of gas, leave the brand field blank.
Lock at level 5: Hospitals, Urgent Care Centers, Universities, Park and Ride lots, Arenas, and Airports.
Lock at level 3: Any other Place which has, at a minimum, a a) correct name, b) complete and correct address, and c) correct category. An RPP with a complete, correct, and routable address ( link to RPP guidance ) should also be locked to level 3.
If you are unable to lock a Place to the correct level due to rank, please be sure to do the following. lock as high as you can, and post in the USA Unlock Forum to get help from a higher-ranked editor to lock properly or use the unlock channel on the Southeast Discord server.
