I see we now call them car parks rather than parking lots.

All we need now is for Waze to call the locations we refill our cars as Fuel Station rather than Petrol Stations and all will be rosy :)

That's actually a localisation under our control. Petrol Station is what they are commonly called.
Which is wrong, as my car takes diesel and not petrol ;)

We tend to call them Garages...

Very, very disappointed :cry:
I am totally with you here... Car Parks is now at the bottom a long list (and yes the car park error list is growing)

We need someone.... anyone to give us a definitive answer on what to do with these blooming things.

Personally I'd like to delete them all and start again.... :lol:

Firstly a big thank you to atrophicshiner for writing this up.

Secondly a couple of questions
Set the Car Park Type, this is important as Waze should not offer Restricted nor Private car park types to users when nearing their destination.

Public: Unrestricted access If you can park and then go where you please it is classed as Public, the majority of Council managed car parks are Public. Where a car park is associated with several businesses you should use your best judgement.

Restricted: Public access with some restrictions (customers, visitors, partons, etc) Frequently car parks associated with supermarkets, retail parks and other businesses have notices displayed stating that the car park is for customer use only, these are classed as Restricted.

Private: Limited access (residents, employees, etc) Car Parks that are clearly signed as staff / residents only are classed as Private, these types of car parks often have barriers or gates across the access.
With regard to Supermarket Car Parks i.e restricted and Private car parks, I understood we don't map these at all as areas, just the PLR's.

I do find a lot of supermarkets / retail parks which are areas and I then delete these, adding Parking for Customers in the Place details. - Is this still correct.

Mine in Morecambe have all been reopened after I carefully checked and improved each one.

If Waze are not going to either trust us or give us direction about what they want then they really should not have released the Parking Project until it was all ready to go.

It makes them look fools and means it will actually take longer for them to achieve the desired product improvements.

I'm sure Country Admins and Global Champs have told them this, I wonder if there is any way to get them to listen!

And my drives for the middle of August still aren't registered. Come on Waze, sort it out!
