Agree 100% with the changes made. Thanks ![]()
AAAH. What happened to all the permalinks in the spreadsheet :!:
Err, is it me or have all the Permalinks disappeared from the GSheet?? Looking at the Version History, they were there at 12:10 and gone by 12:14ā¦

I think this may have been me pushing the wrong button. All back now.
Sorry. :oops:
Whatever you do, donāt press that buā¦
Not sure if Iāve missed a reply to this. Iāll approve this one - because itās definitely there, Iāve walked past it. Number of chargers should be 2, though, not 1 as listed.
We have not been given any guidance on how to report PURs that arenāt on the Sheet, Waze are under the impression that they should match exactly. What that PUR links to is unknown even though it is clear part of the import.
We have come across several examples of PURs āmissingā and PURs appearing in WME with no corresponding Sheet entry.
As it says on wazeopedia;
Are we to post these here or is there another method youād like us to use?
I cannot find a charger here and also canāt find that this PUR is referenced on the sheet: Permalink
Nothing on VendElectric site. It may be in the Childrenās Hospital underground car park but I canāt find any evidence.
Is now a good time to admit I saw all these PURs and just dived right in (about 4 days ago) :? I didnāt think to look on the forums for a possible post about it. Iāve okayed well over 1000 PURs in that time in SE England. My chances of finding any on a google sheet are slim to non-existent.
Sorry if Iāve inadvertently mucked up your system. Oops :roll:

James has very kindly knocked together a GPX file which places a reference to the Google Sheet entry next to each PUR. If you throw that GPX file into WME Geometries, itāll show the Google Sheet row number next to each one - Iām sure it wonāt take you too long to find the 1000 or so that you need to flag up in the GSheet ![]()
@Challenger3802 simply put that was a stupid thing to do. As an Area Manager you are expected to participate in the forums and be proactive in new features and projects that Waze are bringing to the Editor and App every year. Considering you edit in multiple countries this is highly concerning as each has different methods of mapping. You total lack of care about this simple highlights your disinterest in the UK Community.

Hereās the link to the map showing Shell Recharge charging stations, particularly those branded as Community by Shell Recharge. The one on Wazeopedia only shows those at motorway service stations. Are you able to update the link @atrophicshiner or maybe create a separate line? Iāve come across quite a lot of these.
Working through some of the EVCS PURs in rural Wales, Iāve come across a couple which simply donāt exist (PUR in the middle of a field with no likely location anywhere near, for example). Canāt see anything on the Wazeo which covers a āDoesnāt existā scenario, so whatās the protocol? Accept PUR, change to Private, amend description accordingly? Or donāt accept, leave a MC?
Use the problem catagory, and comment - doesnāt exit. Reject the PUR.
Are you using Jamesās gpx layer, does it have a line number against it that can help ID it? Iāve just found one thatās supposed to be located in Cranfield, Bedford, but the PUR has been placed somewhere in Essex!
Iām using Jamesās data, yes - and itās extremely useful. If it wasnāt for that, there are quite a few that wouldāve been a right old pain in the hoop to find on the spreadsheet.
I can see that āweā are making progress on the spreadsheet but there are still plenty to do. Looking across (mostly rural) West Wales Iām seeing a lot on the map that are āRestrictedā because theyāre in car parks of e.g. hotels. Iāve so far concentrated on approving the āPublicā ones that I can verify in Streetview or the Aerial images. I donāt have plans to start driving the length and breadth of Wales checking on them physically and there arenāt recent enough Streetview images for some places.
Iām thus looking for a steer from the champs as to what to do about the ones I canāt check in these ways? Iāve looked at some of the web sites for the service providers and most havenāt been very detailed about locations. If the Restricted ones wonāt be surfaced in Waze any time soon then how much time should we spend on them?
Thanks
Martin
We are in a slight bind as weāve been told to take the source data on face value but Iāve found 1 bp pulse location only 81 miles out of position, so currently I canāt trust locations without proof. Iāve generally been working on the basis, if I canāt find it in aerials, SV, network maps, or cough other sources* cough, within a couple of minutes I move on to another location.
As for Restricted locations, I have been approving them when locations can be quickly established as we are trying to reach 50% coverage before Waze will open this feature in the app, so every location helps.
To aid in this you may wish to concentrate on the easier providers, such as InstaVolt, Pod Point, GRIDSERVE, char.gy, Tesla, whose locations are accurate and trustworthy. If anyone has formed opinions on the other providers feel free to shout up so I can add it to the Wazeo resource table.
*ZapMap is useful for user images which gives hints to the charger location but canāt be used to copy information
The Ubitricity lampost chargers in London, e.g. here: https://goo.gl/maps/5gSi6nskjJGjwN4m7
These have all been imported as āRestrictedā by default. I canāt see any reason why these arenāt Public, the Ubitricity website says anyone can use them, so Iām going to start adding them as Public unless anyone sees a reason why notā¦
Also, there are often a few of these on the same street, so I guess the charger name will have to include the street number.
