Cannot enter prices in Latvia.. says that price is not correct :D And there is automatically number 9 at the end, which is stupid.

Something like 9 at the end should be either a country-dependent policy, or disabled - it can not be global. In Slovakia some gas station networks are using 9 at the end, some do use 0 and some any arbitrary value.

When I filled the form for gas stations' preferences, there was a question about the format of the price and I remember well, that the example said: xxx.xx or xxx.x9
So if you setted the xxx.xx format, then it sould not automatically changed to xxx.x9
Or not?

OK, I've checked that it is indeed country-dependent and was entered in the request form (e.g. x,xxx€ for Slovakia).

You should check on your forum, who was filling Waze request form for Latvian gas stations and which price string was reported. Maybe Waze should correct it.

What area?

Not sure why but some people need to force the app to activate the feature: Set a route (to anywhere), then add a stopover, selecting "Petrol Station" from the categories list. After you've done this you should then see a change in the report quick menu where "Pave" used to be.

What is needed to be done, before the feature is allowed to be started in specific country?
