==== Minimum Acceptable Information ====
==== New England Place Standardization ====
Vermont has adopted the [[USA/New_England#Places|New England Region Standard for Places]].


All Places added to the map '''must''' contain the following entries:
==== Update Request Resolution Policy ====
 
The New England Region follows the USA standard for Update Requests (URs) as outlined [[Update Requests in Waze Map Editor|here]]. The New England states have the following '''ASAP/4/7 day''' life cycle goal for handling URs as documented in the [[USA/New_England#Update_Request_Resolution_Policy|New England Update Request Resolution Policy]].
* Proper Category
* Place Name
* Address (including address numbers)
* Placed in the correct location on the map
 
This is the minimum acceptable amount of information for inclusion on the map.
 
===== Phone Numbers =====
 
If a phone number is entered in the Place information, please utilize either of the following formats:
 
* (###) ###-####
* ###-###-####
 
Please correct the layout of any phone numbers you encounter while editing.

:All Places that have complete information (to include, at a minimum, address/city, hours of operation, phone number) are to be locked at '''Level 2'''. This is to prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of Place Update submissions from ''Trusted Users'', or Place Update Request approvals from other editors without careful examination.
 
:If you do not have a high enough enough rank to lock the place as indicated, please lock it as high as you can, and notify a higher rank [[#Area Managers|AM, SM, CM, or Champ]] to lock it higher.
 
==== Place Name Harmonization ====
 
In an effort to standardize Place Names, {{RootPage2}} uses the following list of Common names.  Please note the appropriate category name, as well as the listed spelling.  This is necessary for the proper display of any advertising associated with the site (i.e. SUBWAY discounts)

==== Area Editing ====
 
[[File:cfc.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Area Mapping]]When creating an Area, map it to the "fence line" of the area.
 
For instance, if you are mapping a shopping center, this means that you map the area to cover the shopping center buildings, and the parking lots out to the outer ring road (if applicable). If there is no ring road, or for smaller shopping centers, map to the curb line.
 
If you are mapping a school, you would map out to the fence line (if visible) or to a reasonable distance from the school. Contact a [[#Area Managers|AM, SM, CM, or Champ]] for assistance.
 
===== Hospitals / Urgent Care =====
 
[[File:Prescott.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Hospital Mapping]]A special Category of '''Hospital / Medical Center''' is used for Hospitals, Medical Centers and Urgent Care facilities. '''ONLY''' Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, and places offering Urgent Medical Care should use this category. Clinics, and Medical offices which do not offer urgent medical care for Walk-Ins should use the Office, and any other appropriate category, instead.
 
Set the Stop Point over the Main Entrance to the facility. Additionally, map the Emergency Entrance with the same category name, but place it over the Emergency entrance location. ERs encompassed in a hospital Place Area should be Points, and named in the following fashion: '''E.R. - Hospital Name'''
 
===== Layered Areas =====
 
Places which are part of a larger encompassing place (i.e. place points for lot in a university area, Separate ER entrances in a hospital area, etc.) should be named with their unique name followed by a hyphen and the name of the larger area they belong to. For example ''"E.R. - Generic Medical Center"''
 
===== Parking Lots =====
 
The '''Parking Lot''' Place marks a well-defined area constructed for off-street public parking, including parking structures and garages as well as at-grade lots. There are many elements that must be considered before deciding to map a parking lot. Currently, the details are covered in [[Places/Parking lot]].
 
Unless you have permission from the [[#Area Managers|State Manager]], please only map the following types of parking lots:
 
* Public parking lots (Indicate that they are public lots in the description)
* Named lots around an arena/theater/venue (advise SM when you do these)
* Park and Ride lots/structures
 
[[File:Waze_gas_station.jpg|thumbnail|right|Gas Station]]
 
=====Gas Stations=====
 
You should familiarize yourself with the [[Places/Gas Station|Gas Stations wiki]] - specifically naming, branding, and stop points.
 
Also understand, that to provide the best navigation instructions for a Wazer, u-turns should be enabled at each end of the PLR drawn through the gas station.
