Would someone be able to update an incorrect lat long for a residence on my behalf? I’d do it myself, but my level is so low that it seems like I can’t.
The address is 280 Noe St, San Francisco, California. The lat long is currently set to -122.43348, 37.76451. The correct lat long is -122.43318, 37.36457, same as 284 Noe St. (280 Noe St is directly on top of 284 Noe St, as they’re part of the same building.)
Because of the wrong coordinates, Waze keeps directing people to a different side street.
Hello Billyroh,
I am a local editor. I’ve looked at your address and have “approved” it in the Waze map. It should route correctly in Waze after Waze has updated the map.
Note that Waze does not automatically update any wrong locations it has stored on your device. Therefore, in a few days, please do the following:
With regards to updating the lat/long for your residence, Waze does not provide us a way to do that. Usually, what happens is that people use another app, such as Uber, to look up the address and then, that app sends the lat/long over to Waze to create a route for driving. Waze will route to the point closest to the lat/long. So, it is not Waze that is providing the lat/long to those apps, but those apps doing it themselves.
By the way, -122.43338/37.76451 points to the back of 286 Noe St. That point is just close enough to 16th St that I could see why Waze routes people there.
Unfortunately, if the lat/long comes from another app, we really cannot do much about it.
