Gas / Petrol Stations: How many more to map?

[edsonajj]

Way to go for us

You have it easier than us, you have to map another 1459 to get to 70%...
In México we need 4696.

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

I updated the Total number of gas station in Germany, Spain, France, Italy and United-Kingdom.

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

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?

Since my knowledge of German is very limited, is there any native Deutsche speaker who can verify the actual number of station in Germany, please?

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.
