Thanks. ^

The exit we used at this park was congested and full of taxis. While I can see the sense of moving away from that to make it easier both for the Uber driver and rider, the instructions confused me.

I forget to mention that, in the example I used, the instructions were to "go to Pickup Point 6," which seems fairly specific. I couldn't find it (or Points 1-5) on the map. We did follow the directional arrows to get to what was an approximately correct spot for a pickup, but I have no idea if that was the right spot, or if we walked a lot farther than we had to.
