Hi Editors,
I’ll appreciate your help with a map update. I wish to add missing house numbers to this neighborhood.

Reason: Missing house addresses.
Thank you in advance,

Greets. Are you looking to add them yourself or would you like me to do it for you (which is fine)
If interested, this is how you add house numbers…
How to Add a House Number:
Select the named Segment (do not select a junction node).
In the Left Panel, click Edit house numbers (or press the H shortcut key).
Click on the map to place the new house number.
Important Placement Rule: Put the Marker directly on the roof of the building, and place the Stop Point (the white dot) directly on the street where the driver should arrive.
Click Save (Top-Right) to complete your changes.

This page covers editing house numbers in Waze Map Editor .
Overview
Waze keeps its own internal database of addresses, or what is called house numbers or HNs. These addresses are used only when a specific address is searched from the Waze Map Editor or Waze client app. House numbers are independent from any other address or mapping provider.
House numbers are points on the map and can be adjusted at a fine level of detail to ensure Wazers are properly directed to the correct location for that address. It is therefore important to pay attention to all details regarding house numbers to ensure proper routing.
Things to remember (caveats/warnings)
The house numbers interface cannot be activated when there are unsaved edits.
House numbers are editable only at the 100m/200ft zoom level and lower.
House numbers cannot be added to segments without a name.
House numbers are not searchable unless there is a city name on the segment (Primary or Alternate). This is true whether the house number is an import or added/adjusted by an editor.
House numbers will direct the user to the location of the HN’s anchor point on the named road segment.
A segment cannot have its street name removed if there are house numbers attached to it.
An individual segment cannot have its primary city name removed if there are house numbers attached to it. Selecting two (or more) segments with different street names will allow the primary city name set to “none”, but all segments selected must have the primary street name changed to the same name. Therefore be sure to go back and fix any improperly changed street name if this method is used.
House numbers can contain numbers and letters, but cannot start with a letter.
The Waze app does NOT automatically update position data for already-obtained destinations! Even after an address has been adjusted using WME and/or Google Maps, the app will retain the stale position data indefinitely and navigation will continue to fail. To eliminate stale position data, ask the reporter to first delete any existing instances of the destination in their recent search history and home/work/favorites list and then conduct a new search for the destination.
If the destination is located on an unnamed non-public road segment (private road, parking lot road, etc.), delete the Waze House Number and replace with a Residential Place Point (RPP). Ensure the RPP’s street name and city are listed as the primary or alternate street/city pairing the nearby named segment.

If the correct stop point for a house/business is on a different road than its address road — for example, when its entrance is located on a cross street or back street — then a Waze house number for that address should not be used (but note that house numbers may often be used for entrances located on service/frontage roads; see House Numbers on Service Roads ). Instead, add a residential point place (RPP). Be sure to have the number, street name, city name, and entry/exit point in the RPP; additionally ensure the RPP’s street name and city name are listed as the primary or alternate street/city pairing on a nearby segment. Please review these cases:
In the case that RPPs have been added to a segment other than where their corresponding house numbers are anchored, these house numbers should be deleted. This will reduce potential problems with searching for the address or editing the RPP.
In the case that RPPs have been added to the same segment as their corresponding house number (e.g. people just taking pictures of their houses), those HNs should remain, as they will be in the same location as the RPP and routing will not be negatively affected.
See the FAQ for more information.
If the addresses are on service, frontage, or outer roads, see the House Numbers on Service Roads article for a guide on adjusting the house numbers to route to service road properly.
House numbers vs residential point places
House numbers are attributes linked to road segments, whereas residential point Places (RPPs) are independent from road segments, and vary in the following ways:
House number addresses automatically update when the road segment name changes; RPPs do not.
House number addresses automatically update when the road segment’s primary or alternate city name changes; RPPs do not.
House numbers utilize the various street or city names listed as alternate names listed in the segments’s address box ; RPPs only can have one street/city combination per Place.
House numbers are indexed on their own update schedule; RPP location and details go live almost immediately to existing road segments. Both house number and RPP search results are indexed separately. House numbers will normally be updated by the second road segment tile update. This ensures a new road segment is created in the segment database prior to adding the house number to the house number databa…
Hello! I am able to add them myself now and I will take care of that, Thanks a lot for the help!
