Level 5 - Laval - Segment unlock request

Post by Morphlin
Need Level 5 to unlock segment as I want to connect parking lot road to it and allow turns.

Connecting works fine but allowing turns wont.

Thanks

Unlocked.

Your parking lot isn't connected, by the way. :)

Also, please remove the parking lot landmarks -- the parking load roads are good, but the landmarks should be removed in this case.

Most parking lot landmarks shouldn't exist -- they only serve to clutter the map.

The exceptions are when they are legitimate destinations -- e.g. Park & Rides, parking lots on a campus that you would name, perhaps parking lots at an airport that you want to outline what parts need to be labelled.

These three parking lots all have no name and appear to serve the buildings they are next to... they're not destinations.

I think perhaps that was the original intent, but Waze doesn't use those landmarks for the purpose you describe... It gets the parking lot info from FourSquare and other third-party POI sources.

Besides which, in this example, those lots appear to be private parking for occupants and visitors of the nearby apartments / office buildings... And if you can't find the parking, you probably can't find the building... :)

Perfect, I made the connections. Thanks

Why should the landmarks be removed in this case?
