Hi shmupi,

we have just finished our brainstorming session with local guys and below is the list of main brands of gas stations in Jordan. Please approach waze localization team and ask them to add it to the list of Brands for us.

go. Gulf Jett Jo Petrol Manaseer Oil & Gas Total

What about Gas stations’ prices? Does this functionality need to be specificaly enabled for Jordan as well?

Best regards
Martin

Hi guys,

Waze will need the following info

4 Main Fuel Types - Example: Diesel, 95, etc.

Min/Max Price per each Fuel Type - Example: Diesel 3.5/7.5

Price Format - Example: #.## (make sure it matches the min/max provided)

Currency - Example: $, €…

The currency I assume should be only JOD so we need the rest.

Thanks,
Shmupi

Hi shmupi,

I have discussed this topic with guys, we have the main types, currency, price ranges but I made an interesting observation. Gas prices in whole Jordan are set by government globally, monthly. It means that all gas stations in all Jordan have the same price of particular gas type. So it kind of looses sense to have the prices functionality in the same way as in other countries. It would be good to at least show people that which gas type is available at which gas station, plus people would be able to choose their favorite brand. So, yes, it could make sense, the question is, how to handle with this price “issue”?.. I do not know what options does Waze have here… Maybe to disable manual price input and handle it by admins every month globally for all gas stations?.. Just an idea…

Hi,

I’m afraid waze don’t have a solution for that.

If indeed you would like to activate the gas stations and prices the input will still be manual by the users and can in theory be different.

I can check maybe if the brands can be added and the prices to be disabled totally in Jordan.

If it will be disabled then no one will be able to update it

Let me know if it’s worth checking.

Thanks,
Shmupi

Actually, I had exactly the same idea. Just to allow brands so drivers would be allowed to choose their preferred gas station and navigate to it. Also gas types on each station would be useful - in case you have car that accepts only 98, you need such gas station and just a few have that. I am not sure about this second point, but I hope it will be somehow possible :slight_smile:
