I had a "stay left at eye four ten" today with the ramp named "I-410." There's a direction attached to that, but I can't remember if it's east or north at that point (and it's near the change over, too). There was no pause or anything.
Just wazeting my time to help you waze your route smoothly.

Why? I thought this was a thread about US abbreviations.

Sorry, I can't. I only really use dashes in routes like "I-97" "US-50" or MD-3." I've never noticed a pause with these and have not noticed a change in behavior with these. Not sure why you would expect a better answer in this thread.

Didn't realise this thread was in a/the US subforum.
No worries I'll discuss this with the UK team.

If that is the case, can it be moved to the US forum?

As TTS abbreviations are language dependant, I guess this one belongs in the US subforum indeed.

Hi!
We have an idea how to improve TTS pronunciation and how to deal with abbreviations. Basically we suggest to use Alt City/Street name to correctly pronounce names and/or to specify a short (abbreviated) street name.
Please support if you like the idea!
Thanks!

This would be a very bad idea and would defeat the true purpose of Alt Name fields (which is for search results).
However, it wouldn't be a bad idea for a new dedicated field in which a phonetic spelling of names could be entered.

I support jasonh300 and think it is not such a great suggestion.
