If I merge an imported Waze 3rd Party gas station with a pre-existing gas station, will the back-end gas station connection be lost or will it be transferred over?

There are periodic imports of gas stations from Waze staff. This feature is important to use (where applicable) so that the import (with backend data) can be merged with the preexisting gas stations.

In Israel a level 2 editor - area manager succeeded to merge and save in his managed area, but not in his driving area.
Is it the same in other servers ? Is it planned to be like that ?

I'm getting the same error with these two places. We even waited for a tile update to see if that would help. https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor?env=u ... 43.4479289.

As you saw from the last release we enabled the long awaited Merge Places feature.
The feature will enable you to multi select venues, that are close enough, and merge them.
You will be able to merge 2 or more venues and choose the data that will be shown in the new merged venue.

In order to start the process select 2 venues using Ctrl+Mouse Click (Cmd+Mouse Click on Mac) and in the side bar you will be able to which of the venue the data will be merged.
Screen Shot 2018-12-11 at 1.57.53 PM.png
Once you choose one of the target venue a pop up will open where you'll be able to review the information from the venues and choose what data will be merged.
Screen Shot 2018-12-11 at 1.58.08 PM.png
You will be able to choose:
- Name
- Description
- Address
- Lock Level
- Category
- External Provider
- Website
- Phone
- Services
- Select the pictures

Once reviewed all the info, you can complete the merge process by clicking on Merge and Save.

Happy Merging,
Ruben
thankyou ......

Yes, it does as long as you select them.

After few tries, it seems photo's are not saved. Not sure if it belonged to the first or second selected Place. Needs more testing, but posted anyway as a warning.
By default, not all of the pictures are checked. Many editors have been overlooking the fact that they need to manually choose all of the pictures they wish to keep. I'm not saying there might not also be a bug, but something to keep in mind.
