Having the road # instead/or in addition to street name

[GOahead]

I tried to find the option in my Android to show road numbers instead of road names, in particular when I follow directions. All road signs show numbers only. (US roads)
Is that possible?
Thanks.

I guess I will keep using Waze for the traffic alerts, and my car GPS for the directions.
Thanks Weezer.

Right now the map is limited to having either a name or a number ONLY for each segment. Definitely a limitation that many of us hate.

If there is an on-ramp to the road, that ramp can and should be named to match any signs. So you can have the road itself named "So-and-So Expy N" but the ramps can be labeled to say "to US-999 N". Or the other way around depending on the situation: road = "US-999 N" and signs = "to So-and-So Expy N".

If there are not ramps to the road in question (highway running along surface streets through a town), then we are still stuck. In that case, the name that is most used by people/shown on all the signs should be used.

So for either case, your situation may be able to be solved through some editing of the maps (which you yourself can do, check the wiki).

We did give this topic some time at the meetup in Palo Alto this past weekend, so Waze knows we want more control. We will have to see if they come up with anything to help us.
