Darnit.

So, why do we care so much about the 3rd party linkage?

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Right now, per the OP, nothing. Waze is "working on" getting our added stations their full functionality (in the app).

We just don't have enough information. It would make MORE sense that we can add stations to Waze which have been (forever) missing and have them work, regardless of status with the external provider.

PhantomSoul wrote:Further, I suspect something might be getting out of sync, maybe in error, when you move a linked gas station more than maybe a couple hundred feet. We have a situation in NJ (described in the NJ forum) where someone tried to correct the location of a gas station by moving it and it completely stopped working at both the old and new spots.

Anyone else have this happen?

I have not, but I'm not sure I've moved any more than a couple hundred feet. I can confirm that regardless of the fact that I have moved dozens, none of them show in search results at their new location.

A little. I think there's a thread somewhere asking about it. If a station is closed and not to return, I'd say delete it. But, we haven't received any feedback from Waze directly on this. What I would love would be for use to not have to "worry" about this link to the external system, and for changes we make to the GS landmarks and new stations to actually be updatable. Right now, we're still stuck in a goofy limboland.

Nope

I haven't seen one imported station move and I've done several dozen.

Search result. The landmarks appear to be moving ok. Landmark updates don't happen as often as segments updates. At least, I redid the PDX landmark a good while ago and the last time I checked in the app, it hadn't been updated after a week.

I found one gas station today on my normal commute which has not appeared in Waze ever since gas stations were added. However, today, it is showing the app. Is anyone else seeing any gas station that we added to the editor on the landmark layer which are now appearing in the prices update in the app?

Very cool! So nice of Waze to let us know! :-/
