Add your parking lots to the Waze map

The data we share with Global Event partners revolves around routing requests to your venue and parking locations. To get the most relevant and accurate data, please ensure your parking lot locations are as accurate as possible.

There are two ways you can add your parking lot to the map:

Add parking lots via the Portal

1. Log into your organization's Portal account.
2. Click on Parking lots on the left side panel.
3. Click on the plus sign  to add a parking lot request. 
   Note: If your organization manages different events in various arenas/stadiums, we recommend creating separate parking lot requests for each group of venues. If your organization only works with one venue, you can create just one request that will include all relevant parking lots.
4. Fill in the form, including:
   1. Parking Lots Name - this should be the name of the group of parking lots (i.e. Georgia Dome parking lots).
   2. Select which event(s) you'd like this group of parking lots to be linked to; choose either All Events or No Events or click on the dropdown to select a specific event with which to associate the parking lot.
      Note: Parking lots and the events with which they are associated will serve as the basis of the data you can pull from the Portal after an event is complete. More information can be found here.
5. Click on the plus sign again and type in the specific parking lot name, plus draw a polygon of the area that the parking lot covers. Make sure to double click on your last point to close the shape.
6. Click on the location pin icon , and mark the entrance to the parking lot.
   Note: We can only support a single entrance, so if your parking lot has multiple access points, please mark the main entrance.
7. Mark if the parking lot already exists on the Waze map. 
8. Type the capacity, select the relevant type (Public or Restricted) and the elevation.
9. Click Save.
10. Repeat this process to upload additional parking lots for the specific group. Once you've added all the relevant parking lots for this group, click Update.

Our teams will review the request and add any missing parking lots to the map. Once we've made any necessary changes to the map, you should receive an email with a status update.

To get your Waze Go link, or a URL which directly link to the parking lot(s):

1. Log into your organization's Portal account.
2. Click on Parking lots on the left side panel.
3. Click on the relevant request.
4. Scroll down and click on the copy icon  for each one of the lots that appears in that request.

Add parking lots by sending the information to the Waze team

1. Take a screenshot of the area around your venue. Open the area on the Waze Live Map or Google Maps, take a screenshot and fill out this form with the screenshot attached.
2. Mark the parking lots on your screenshot. Use a tool like Google Sheets or Preview to clearly mark the locations of the parking lots on the map (in the example below, the parking lots are marked in blue). Please mark these as accurately as possible.
3. Indicate the main entrance to the parking lot. For each parking lot location you mark in the screenshot, please add a single point indicating where the main entrance to the parking lot is (in the example below, the entrance points are marked in red).
   Note: Currently, only one entrance is supported on the Waze map. If there are additional entrances please indicate these with another color pinpoint, and in the future when multiple entrances are supported we will add these.
4. List the names of the parking lots. Please write the most commonly used name of the parking lot as this is how the lot will appear in Waze search results; plus, include any other relevant information.
   Note: The parking lot name should be unique.

 

Our teams will review the request and add any missing parking lots to the map. Once we've made any necessary changes to the map, you should receive an email with a status update and a Waze Go link, or a URL which directly link to the parking lot(s).
