NZ Petrol Stations

[Antmannz]

Some of these (particularly Caltex) are a little out of date.

It's worthwhile checking either street view or the white pages to confirm.

Yea, I try to use Google maps street view to make sure they still exist. If you want to either mark the bad ones in red or delete them all together.

I've marked them green same as the completed ones. I figure it's more of a "this has been checked and completed".

Also, should say thanks noodles. This does make the process much less of a 'needle in haystack' thing.

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 tried all the fuel settings in the android client and they all appear to function as expected. I even turned off the fuel price pop-up option but then I can only see the stations but no prices, which is kind of pointless.
So the only time can see all grades pricing is when I report->gas prices. And for the downtown Auckland stations these price updates and confirms do seem to work. It is just these local fuel sites. Is this a case of clearing client cache or reinstalling?
I might try messaging one the local waze groups...

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?

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

Haha I *did* notice that you'd hit 400000 though, well done

And yes, you probably do

Sounds good noodles - I didnt realise there was a % point we needed to hit.

I tried it out yesterday but when I pushed send I got a message that said I was still a waze baby so I couldnt do it? Will try again today.

Just saw your post ad havent had a chance to look at the spreadsheet yet. I've been using the gas company websites which all ave ms with full address details inc phone numbers. Tat combined with street view to confirm where necessary has been easy to use ad avoids having to create and maintain another source of data. I used the Caltex site to add all their stations in auckland - before the update which allowed noting address etc.

yep, i've done exactly the same thing

99% of Northland Is finished, the 1% is for the ones I don't know about

[ispyisail]

Ok, all the North Island Z stations are done, I don't have permissions for the South Island.

Btw, a tip, use the GPS coords from the spreadsheet, makes it easy to pin point the stations.

I want to know how you do this?

somebody has entered (computer generated) shell stations across NZ. The problem is they are no longer called "shell" and most are in the wrong spot, some are close.
