[PAGE UPDATE] Gas stations only for fleet/commercial
Proposed addition to the gas-station article, located between "Brand" and "Lock":
I bring this up because last week Waze routed me to a commercial gas station that was 2 minutes off my route. The prices looked good, so I selected it, but those prices were not going to be available to me without a fleet card and I don't think they would have let me fuel there at all. This didn't seem right.
Explanation: this is a case of the "needs of the many" vs. the "needs of the few". To be clear, nothing about the above will prevent commercial drivers from routing to a particular station they want. We are only ensuring that Waze does not offer or display to 99.9% of Wazers (yes, a guess, but probably not too far off!) gas stations they can't possibly use.Proposed addition wrote:Commercial-only stations
Some gas stations support only commercial or fleet vehicles and are inaccessible to the vast majority of Wazers. If you can verify that a station is not available to the general public, three adjustments will minimize its impact on the average Wazer: (1) add "(commercial vehicles only)" to the station's primary name; (2) map it with a Point Place rather than an Area Place; and (3) use the category "Factory / Industrial" instead of "Gas Station".
