New gas station option

Postby slevit1 » Mon Jul 23, 2012 5:39 pm

I just went in to add a couple of gas stations but it doesn't seem that anything is new. Am I doing something wrong? I am adding a new landmark which defaults to gas station as the type (I don't remember if gas station was always the first choice on the list or not) and then adding the gas station name, but it doesn't seem like there are any new options. Specifically, no option for address, phone number, etc. Is there supposed to be anything new, or is Waze just reminding us to add gas stations as locations now that they're showing gas prices?

The extra options aren't available on the NA server yet, only on the world server...

I'm using Waze in The Netherlands, but also can't add prices at gas stations. Some gas stations are also not visable on the map, although I've added them to the map (a couple of months ago).

Prices can only be updated via the client and only once it's been activated in your country. I don't think it has in the Netherlands yet.
Can you provide a permalink of an area you've added one?

Here you go:

There should be a Shell Express at this location.

It is only around 950 square meters. IIRC, landmarks only show if they are bigger than around 1600 square meters.

As soon as the gas station option is enabled in The Netherlands, it should be visible in the update screen.
