Gas / Petrol Stations: How many more to map?

[bex_05]

Hi,

The Indonesian community has about 67% of the Gas Stations mapped (the report shows 10% less than what the actual number is). In order for the feature to be activated there needs to be 75% mapped. You can track the progress of the gas stations mapped on the Gas Station landmarks updates - per country report, you're almost there

Great! Thank you for letting us know, when you have the right number please let me know and I will add it.

Please, please, please activate the option to show UAE gas stations!

Hi,

We will not be activating the gas station feature in any new countries until the release of the next version (3.93).

Please continue to map the gas stations and be in touch with us when 75% of gas stations in your country have been mapped, so we can activate the feature when we release 3.93.

Thank you!

hmmm... its another delay for Indonesia then... I believe we've reach the minimum number for the feature...

Hi,

Actually Indonesia has 74.20% you are very close! But you need to get to 75% before we can activate it

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a way we can get updates for how many stations have been mapped for a certain country and how many more Waze needs until the feature is activated? Would be great encouragement to editors to know just how much more we need to motivate us to get the job done.

I'm in Australia so it would be great to know where we are at. Thanks.

Hi Localizars,

Thanks for bringing this important issue to my attention.


I have opened a shared Google doc "Gas Station per Country".
In this doc you can see the number of gas station landmarks currently added to the map.

To know the number of the total gas station for each county we receive assistance from the local community, that means you guys .

After adding the total number you can see the updated % of gas station per country.
As you know we require 70-75% of landmarks from the total amount.

I will update this list every week so we can see the changes and addition that were made and how close we are to our goal!

What do you think?

Best,
Orit

We need authorization to access the Google Doc?

IN BRAZIL WE ARE ALSO WATING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. =D

A curious thing is the number of gas stations in Germany.

Why?

113% ?????

Ah LOL was looking at your link, not at the table. Yeah and Brasil was also wrong, someone posted the link to the LPG stations and put that value into the total, giving an impressive 919%! antigerme?

According to the graph above it seems there are plenty of them closing down in the real world and hence the value on the spreadsheet will most probably be floating above and beyond 100% It will never be zero off.

In Portugal I have the official list of stations and I've been following it and know the amount of specific brands that are still missing on waze (also missing: 48h per day), but from time to time I see double landmarks created by newbie users albeit I don't understand how it happens besides stubbornness - my landmarks are snapped to the roads around so they are as big as possible and cover the whole station land, and some newbie editors think that the landmark should cover only the strict rain ceiling above the gas pumps, so they see my landmark locked and create a new smaller one above it. I've seen this only happening less than half a dozen times and the editors understood the mistake, but I've said this just to explain that it's indeed possible to get more than 100% due to these duplicate stations.

There is also the possibility of ghost stations or DB corruption see my direct champs thread where I have two stations on the client but only one on the map, for many months now.
