But yes, that is all we have heard this year. The feature is live for all iOS users, but not Android.
I know that WME has been able to use this function for a year, but mobile applications cannot use it yet :-(

Phase 1: (Current Status)

In Phase 1 the feature will be open to RBS users.

2. During Phase 1 roll-out, where this functionality is limited to RBS users, will Prod App / RPS utilize the point marked "Main?"

During phase 1 the production app users will be routed to the original entry point, meaning the one that originally was there before adding new entry points.
If while testing you you came up with a non consistent scenario let us know and we will investigate.

Related to this, in case the original entry point will be moved, it will not possible to route to the venue from the History in client since the lon/lat has changed.
Why this was published and announced in WME if it still requires routing beta server (RBS) to work, and has potential to break routing for regular users?

But they don't work without using routing beta server. Thus, places can't be designed for multiple entry points because only one of them will actually work. So, parking lot roads or walking trails inside a building and other similar hacks is still required to enable routing to the nearest entry, or to enable routing in general. I do like this feature a lot but it shouldn't had been released without full support on the routing server and client side.

As far as I know that's the idea, let's suppose that you have a place which is a mall, and this mall have multiple entry points what you already add it in the WME. You select a principal entry(this will be the default entry for this place) and if you wish to go to another entrance of this place you will need to choose the specific entrance (venue), that currently are created as separated venues in the Editor.
Main entry is used when place is added as a stop point to currently active route. Other entry points are not used unless you are using Routing Beta Server (there is a special search keyword for that). When multiple entry points feature is finished, Waze will not necessarily pick the main entry point but an entry that is fastest to reach from your starting point.

Thanks.

Since I am not part of App Beta, I don't know if the guidelines are the same, so I ask the question.

Is it ok to post App Beta only features (pictures) in public forum? I know for WME Beta, it is not allowed.
It's not, thanks for pointing it out.
In that case you might want to delete pictures from @Vespucci41's opening post as well, because that's where @santyg2001 got them ;)

Only beta users.
We already asked Waze staff to open it for everybody. But still no reaction.

Not for Android production.
With Android beta you can see there is a entry point. But you can not choose which entry point.
