Handling Building Entrance on Different Street than Address

[wwfarch]

The situation I have is as follows: My work building's address is on Allen St and has two entrances. One of these entrances is on Allen st and the other is on Fairmount Ave. Is there a way to have waze recognize the Fairmount Ave entrance as being a valid way to get to the Allen St entrance?

How are you navigating to your work?

1. Enter the street address
2. Search for the business name, select a result from a external provider. If so which provider
3. Tap the location on the map and route there

All of the above are relevant if you have it saved as a favorite or 'Work'. If a favorite, which option above did you use to look it up before you saved as a favorite?

Basically each external provider can have a different location to route you to. You may be able to choose another external providers result and get the routing you want. It also depends on which road on the Waze map is closest to the GPS coordinates that the external provider gives.

Based on what you have provided, you may want to do tap and hold and save as a favorite to route to the exact location you want.

Currently I'm entering the street address (saved in my favorites) so I assumed that was why it kept routing me to the incorrect street address. I'll try to tap and hold before I leave work today and provide an update tomorrow.

The street addresses data in the USA is proved by Bing via Waze's back end. So if there is actually an error with the location vs. just your preference of which entry to use, you can try to get it corrected with Bing.

Tap and Hold is valuable if you want to fine tune where Waze is routing you without impacting other Wazers or the external provider data.

Be aware that when you save a result as a favorite, what you're actually storing is the GPS coordinates. Once you save a favorite, it's position won't change even if the original source does.
