Gas station in Canada

Post by Hypersky75
So, what the heck is going on with Gas Stations in Canada? When do we get gas prices?

Is that the real reason why we haven't seen gas station support?

I can go and add dozens of stations that are on my typical drive quite easily, but I'm surprised nobody has done it before me. Which map server should I be using?

Waze is not doing well when it comes to distinguish between Canada and the US. They think that all the North america Server settings are the same.
In my view the fix to this will be when Waze set that all gas stations in Canada ill get prices in $/Litter and the US in $/Gallon, based on the location of the station.

Cheers,

I tried to punch in price for gas station a couple of days ago and below is the error I'm getting:

Could someone show an evidence of gas station in Canada accepting prices in the $1.20-$1.40 range per litter?

Cheers,

doctorkb - when you say can't do you mean you can't submit prices (like myself) or you can't provide evidence?

They should add a price per liter in the App menu, to cover world wide.
Some other countries also using liters, not gallons.
It might just be the case for Canada, because we are on the NA server and always been the black swan.

Wow, I love how this thread took off :-D

I noticed at the Petro-Canada near my house that they had gas prices at 134.4 , not.9. Waze currently assumes that it always ends in .9, but when you take a quick look at http://www.montrealgasprices.com/, you'll notice gas stations now have prices ending in .3, .4 and .7 as well. Can we add that option in waze?

Ok so we still are unable to enter gas prices in Canada. We always get an "invalid price" error message because (I'm guessing) the price is too low due to being by the liter instead of by the (US) gallon.

When is this being fixed?
