===General Tab===
The general tab: here you enter all basic information: categories, name, description, petrol brand, residential/public, opening hours, country, state, city, street, and house number. 
 
'''Category''': Places require at least one category to be assigned, but can belong to multiple others. Always select the main category first. For example, a petrol station can also be "Convenience store", "Car wash", or "Charging station". For a more detailed explanation of categories, see the [[Place categories|Place categories]] page. 
 
'''Name and address''': If possible, provide name and address. Use the official name of the place. Optionally add an alternative name. :Place addresses - other than [[Places#Residential_places_.2F_Eigen_woning_plaatsen|residential houses]] - are not used when searching by address. They are purely for informational purposes.
:If a Google link is provided in the External provider field (see below), please also add the Google name as an alternative name.
:The address is particularly useful for directing Wazers to the location. 
::Under the [[Waze_Map_Editor#Layers_menu|Map layer]] Places, you can specify whether the place name should be displayed on the [[Waze Map Editor|editor screen]]. Place names are displayed starting from a certain zoom level. 
 
'''Description''': The Description field is visible in the [[Waze app]] and is intended for useful and objective information regarding the place itself. Keep it concise.
: Some places require payment: do not change the description unless it is clearly incorrect.
: Do not use the description field for your own notes or comments to other editors.
 
'''Access Points''': Add Access Points when necessary so that Waze can navigate you to the correct side of the place. Use one place per destination. The navigation selects the nearest entry point. 
:: If a hospital has different destinations for the general entrance and for emergency/first aid on the other side of the building - create an area location for the hospital with its own entry point and a point location for emergency/first aid access. 
: Do not place entry points on top of road segments, but slightly to the side to get the best left/right directions. Each entry point must have a name; the name is displayed in the [[Waze app]] ETA screen. It is important to keep the name short so that it matches the map and ensure it is easy to understand. 
 
'''External providers'''
: With Waze, with L3 and higher, you can add directions with POIs from external providers. One of the external providers is Google Maps.
: When a place is linked, drivers can select any destination from the search results in the app; whether the result is from Waze or Google, it will always lead you to the Waze navigation stop.
: When linking a Google POI, add the Google name as an alternative name. Then—if a Google search result is selected in the Waze app—the navigation will lead you to the Waze location.
: Searching for a place results in duplicate results (the same name) if more than one Waze Place is linked to the same Google POI.
: When access to a place is on a different road, it is useful to also include the address as an additional link, using a Google address pin. This way, the place is also found when searching by address.
