Template of topic 380525, post 1

A Waze volunteer map editor may direct you to this page after making changes to the map where it is necessary to remove a cached address or business stored in the Waze app.

All instances of the cached result need to be removed from the Waze app, or you may not benefit from the corrections to the map.
