The "Select Entire Street" button is your friend! It's a lot easier to select everything, then de-select the few segments that are worth saving, than to select all the extraneous segments individually.

I have often wondered what the point of the Parking Lot road type is anyway, it's not as if people navigate to a specific part of a parking lot. Personally I add a Service Road into a parking lot just to show a junction is there and leave it at that.


Navigating out of a parking lot can be very usefull. The way parking lots are currently done in waze can be just as confusing as having nothing there because the client will snap to a road instead of showing where you are and what direction the exit is.

I personally would like to see parking lots like this, if the road type worked correctly.

I completely agree. I think Waze can be very strong if it can help me figure out how to exit a parking lot efficiently -- especially if it can help me take the exit closest to the route of my destination. Without all the little lanes, I have no idea where I actually am because of how generously the client will snap my location.

I just want waze to remember my location when I shut it down, so when I leave the mall, waze will get me back to my car wherever it may be in the huge parking lot! Ha! (I think I can find my way out of the parking lot)

You must have some enormous parking lots where you live. I'm pretty sure I've never need help to find my way out of one. For me what is worse is when I'm travelling down a normal road and Waze snaps to a parking lot road that has been created too close.

And not only did someone draw all those parking lot roads and the Infinite Loop, but then an IGN came along and decided it wasn't done (screwed up) quite right and modified all of them.

Yup. I didn't get to see the place when I was out there, but Sketch said he visited the campus while he was out exploring before the Wazemeet in January.
