+1 also wish comments and/or the reporting user's username showed up.

heres another questions for anyone who knows. if waze gets its gas station info from foursquare...is this regularly refreshed? if i make changes to foursquare stations will they eventually make it to waze? or did they just download the foursquare database at some point, one time, and call it good?

This is for ROTW only, correct? Not the US server.

I use parking lot roads in this case. Is it ok ?
https://world.waze.com/editor/?lon=23.8 ... rks=358488
And some times on the road I can't see gas stations in my client. Even at max resolution. And I know it IS there in the map. Should I try to make it biger landmark ? How big? Or may be not a problem? ;) May be situaton will change when you, guys, switch gas stations ON in Lithuania?
There are somewhat more detailed instructions in the UK Editing Guidlines and that seems to work quite well.

Basically, you map the station area with a Gas Station landmark (to suppress traffic reports whilst you're stopped & filling up) and put in a basic road system of parking lot roads.

There is some discussion as to whether the parking lot roads are necessary. My feeling is that if they're not there, your GPS may snap you back to the road outside the Gas Station, generating a traffic report. If the Gas Station has the parking lot roads, there's a better chance you will snap to those instead.

A parking lot road is the best.

Cleaning up in my area

In Greece the Ministry of Development has an online database which includes Gas Station location and prices. Prices are being updated by Ministry personel and the gas station owners themselves.

Its a great source of info that's up2date (i checked some randomly and they were updated within the previous 5-10 days) and its usable as its from a public entity.
I think it would be great if Waze would incorporate it to for Greece (which currently lacks Gas Stations overall) and furthermore continue allowing users to edit the prices and either show the latest price available or just mark whether this is the "official" price or the crowdsourced one.


Now for the catch. The site is available here: http://www.fuelprices.gr/ and
a) Its in Greek. Only in Greek.
b) Its one of the poor-est designed websites. Not sure how the data could be crawled and how a sync could be setup. It is doable however because quite a few 3rd party sites in Greece are doing so.

Anyway, if there is interest i'd be willing to help. At least we could use this db to jump start gas station location and leave the price sync-ing feature for later.

I'd be more than happy to support and we can ask other users from the (small) Greek Wazer community to help also.

Where is the right place to ask the Support to add gas stations brands?
