The accuracy of the imported data varied wildly between data sources. This particular gas station was spot on. If it was a significant distance away (say more that 0.1 of a mile), then it wouldn't have appeared in the client as a duplicate.

So, now I'm guessing that the automatic thingy has also added this petrol station, but that it is very tiny, and in the middle of a field somewhere. How on earth do I find it so I can delete it and close the UR? I've looked and looked.
The automatically imported gas station would have been in that same place, and has probably been deleted already. I think there's a bug in the system such that when a landmark is deleted, the gas station is not removed from the list. I have failed to convince Waze that this is happening. (You could try reporting this to them yourself, but you can expect a very frustrating conversation.)

There's a bug in Waze's system, whereby deleted gas stations don't get removed from the list of results in the client.

PS: dovos was talking about duplicate brands in the editor.

Hi,
Many Thanks Ori for the link. As you must be knowing that in India Gas Station Feature is still to be activated, this link will help other Users a lot.

In the past year I've noticed a small number of gas stations which appear in the handset, but are not on the editable map. They show up if you are near such a station and attempt to post gas prices. Typically they have N/A as the prices.
In one such case, there originally had been no station of any sort at that location. I manually added the station and started updating prices often. Then one day TWO gas stations appeared on my list. One, the station I had added, Second, a phantom which appeared out of nowhere. It does not appear on the PC editable map.
Where are these phantoms coming from?
Why?
