Please share the street name, city country, and your app version and phone OS.

Thanks. Someone with more familiarity and access on the world Waze server should be able to look into this.

It sometimes takes a while before the search index is updated with new road names, but that is not the issue here. There is no 'updated by' timestamp, so the road was named before the basemap import...

You might want to mail Alpha about this.

Here's something that was odd: I copy/pasted the street, city, country into Papyrus and it came back with a list and I clicked on the first one because it as a match, and I was taken here with the search pin right on the street. However, every search I execute now takes me [url]https://world.waze.com/cartouche/?zoom=7&lat=37.71859&lon=-1.4214]here[/url].

What's going on?

Searching in Waze 3.0 gives one result in the city Totana (Región de Murcia). I expect Brshk1 did find that location, but I don't think you mean that area!

There are several Avenida Principe de Asturias if you look at Map24, you get a few results. I think you mean location one. Finding this location in Waze, you come to this permalink. Some segments have the name you say. But not the whole street. In the whole area is almost nothing labeled with name and city.

There where some problems with this street, I fixed this. I expect after de next map update it is searchable.

at this point you see a junction with Avenida de Don Juan de Borbón. I replaced the 'problematic rountabout'. But I don't have rights to remove the old junctions, replace new ones. Avenida de Don Juan de Borbón shows paralel streets to the primary street in direction south. This is not what the Aerial shows. So those has to removed...But I don't do that, because of some more rights issues I expect.

But lots of work to do over there! Keep in mind, (re)naming the streets with the same name as yours, gives problems if all get the cityname Murcia. Use Zipcode or district in streetname!

If need any help, please let me know.

***EDIT***

Strange, BRSHK1 reply is dissapeared :?: And Gerben replied, this was not visible in my 'problematic' TapaTalk...
