Help with UR regarding wrong Place location?

There’s a UR here which relates to “North Shore Private Hospital” showing up on the wrong place in the Waze app, routing the driver to the rear carpark instead of the front entrance. I’ve checked. There are two locations with that name. The Waze Place is correct, leading to the front door. However, the Google place is wrong, leading to the rear carpark.

Is there any way of correcting this problem to solve the UR, short of telling the app user to select the correct one from the list when routing? I would think that most users wouldn’t be able to tell the Waze Place from the Google place.

Agreed that many would find it hard to differentiate. The other solution is to try and get the Google Maps entry for the hospital fixed - via “suggest an edit”?

TimAThing is right, the only long term solution is for us to put the request into Google for an update.

Thanks. I’ve reported to Google & let the UR reported know there’s no easy way to tell using the app except that if a place has opening hours, website, etc, then it’s a Waze place.

Also turning on debug mode displays Waze results with a blue dot
