Adding a Working Place.

Post by x-dream
Hi there, My working place address appears at local yellow pages. How do I get it in the Waze map?

Waze does not maintain a POI database (at this time). You need to make sure your work place is listed with the third-party search providers: Google, Bing, Yelp, Yellow Pages, FourSquare, etc.

Pretty sure Bing is no longer a provider?
I did it from memory. I just checked the app - no Bing. My mistake.

No. You'll have to list it on one or more of the third party search engines that Waze uses. Once Waze has its own POI structure in place, you'll be able to add it directly to Waze. Note that adding it to the third party search engines can also increase your business's visibility for others, not just those who use Waze.
