NZ Petrol Stations

[ispyisail]

and

based on some reading it appears you might be able to submit spreadsheet data to waze and they auto generate the data on the maps?

Our UK map-editing community, including Darren McConachie (aka dmcconachie) and Tim Rigden (aka Timbones), provided us with a detailed list of more than 7,000 of the 8,700 country’s petrol stations, expediting the release of the feature there.

Adding stations is reaaly slowing down my points collection. im going to be lucky to make the top 25 this week

[ispyisail]

LOL it just isnt Waze in NZ without you right up there!

I've added a small number in the last couple of weeks, limited by the small area I'm able to edit.

I don't know if you noticed but I couldn't help myself .......I did a quick fire road creation session for extra points.

I need seek professional help

i've added prices for 3 stations and nothing?

[ispyisail]

OK, I'm sure i'm missing something obvious, but where do you enter the prices?

you can only do it at the station

[ispyisail]

Do petrol stations need to be enabled for pricing? I'm a new Adult wazer in howick. There are 7 stations around howick but only 1 Z stations shows a popup price. If i view a station no prices are displayed - curiously the grade prices did display when i was a Baby wazer. I've tried some price updates for these local sites but even though I've 'earned' points there is are not changes at the sites.
Bugs or setup?

I've had no problems

Check here for setup

Prices do expire around 8 days or so If nobody has updated in that time, it will then show blank prices. I'm unsure if price updates are instant or you need to wait for a period of time?

Since my last post my fuel price updates are being accepted as expected. However there are a number of issues with the Andriod app and the Fuel update dialogs on my HTC ONE-X ( driod 4.1 ).
1. When in the Fuel update dialogs and I rotate the phone Landscape <-> portrait WAZE crashes.
The fuel update dialogs are only usable in portrait mode ( well definitely more user friendly )
2. It can take upto 1 minute to SEND a price update. I guess there must be some verifications and confirmation messages being exchanged.
3. Sometimes after entering new prices the SEND will return and redisplay the original prices. I repeat the price update and then get 'you have already earned points'. Which indicates the first SEND was successful but the confirmation back to the App clearly failed.

Do other Andriod - WAZERS experience this sort of problem with the APP?

I would suggest you join the beta testers and report error with your device

Hi guys,

I thought we could take an organized approach to entering NZ petrol stations. I've created a spreadsheet of known petrol stations in NZ (from Zenbu). This has lat/long, addresses, phone numbers etc. It should be pretty easy to use this to fill in the details on Waze.

If you're keen to help out let me know and I'll add your email to the spreadsheet so you can mark off the ones you've done (I've marked some already in green). Email me at nick (at) noodles (dot) net.nz
