Places

Places are searchable destinations on the Waze map, just like the "Points of Interest" found on certain popular GPS devices. They can be added from the app, but also in the Waze Map Editor. Here you will find instructions for creating a place in the editor. For a description of the different types of places, see the Place categories page. Places can only be defined when the Places Map Layer is activated.

A place can be defined as a point or an area place. Above a certain size, Area places become visible in the app. A Point place is never visible, but both types can be searched, selected, and navigated to. There is also a third type of place called Residential places, these are private addresses. These are always point places.
