Hi Editors,
I’d appreciate your help with a map update.

Reason: Hi, we live at 572 Lake Rd, Milton VT, 05468. My drive way is 1/4mile long to the top of the hill, off of Lake rd (and not Everest Rd as Waze seems to thinks). We recently got Google to fix Google Maps for this address, and we hope that you are willing to update Waze for us too.
Thank you in advance,
We are looking to get our Home location fixed (572 Lake Rd, Milton, VT). Our Diveway comes from Lake Rd, and Waze thinks it comes from Everest Rd. Google maps has also recently made updates to this address. Thank You !
Greetings:
Thanks for your report of 572 Lake Rd in Milton.
Waze community map editors have access to the VT E911 address points and I can concur that the Google Maps location is correct.
The problem is that the closest point to your dwelling is Everest Rd and hence the incorrect routing. Since you are so far from the road we’ve added a private road for a driveway - this should result in navigation instructions taking you to the beginning of the driveway and directly to 572.
I’ve also added a separate address point in Waze as well for 572.
If Waze is running on its normal update schedule these changes should be picked up by noon and may even be live by sometime on Monday morning. You’ll be able to tell by the fact that the driveway shows up.
Waze search results return both Waze and Google Maps locations. I would suggest that you remove any stored or cached locations of 572 Lake Rd from the app and search for it again - that should force the app to get the latest information from the Internet based servers. (But wait a day or two to do this to ensure the updates are live.)
Happy Holidays & Safe Travels!
Thank you so much !!! I really appreciate your quick reponse and detailed solution. Many thanks to you and the Waze development community !
