Hi,
Bug #1) House number search indicates house number is known, yet the selected address does not contain a number
I was trying to navigate to Petrovany 257, Slovak Republic - and the address search looked like the number was found (listed given house number in the search results - see the screenshot). But it navigated to the completely wrong number in the opposite side of the village (roughly around. The wrong address lookup is confirmed by the fact that navigation summary does not list the house number anymore (see the 2nd screenshot).
Bug #2)
But if i try Petrovany 32, the house number is shown in the address detail screen and in the route overview. Yet it sill navigates to the spot nearby - still the wrong spot but not the same as 257. Weird.
Both work in Google maps just fine. #1 is very confusing as when you navigate in a car it is very easy to miss the subtle omissions (specially if you are not aware of this bug, so you assume that when the search shows you an address, it is known to waze).
Checking map editor i see no house numbers in Petrovany at all. I checked with our local waze support and he confirmed that when the google house number lookup works ok, the same should work on waze and thus it should be a defect.
I have to add, that I noticed this buggy behavior in past months too.
The issue is with the address points which are coming from google maps database.
We are talking about address points, not places/venues and the issue mostly affects smaller villages which do not have names for their streets (so basically the address point consists just of the village name and the house number).
WME supports house numbers only on streets with the names, thus we are not mapping such addresses in WME.
In the past the integration with Google address points worked well and it was no problem to get proper position (the same as in Google maps), but this is not working flawlessly for weeks or months and the user reports are more and more frequent.
So if you try to search for some of the examples (while being located in Slovakia as I’m aware that search from abroad might be problematic), you would probably get the result listed but the position will be different from the one in Google maps.
Župčany 228
Orlové 374
Borová 178
Borinka 497
Horná Ves 353
In the past issues were mainly when the address was missing in Google maps, but now we got problems for entries which are there and work fine wihin Google maps app, but return wrong postion in Waze app.
It might be just wild shot but - isn’t there any issue with the coordinates decimal rouding within the integratoin? (likec rounds to 7 decimal digits instead of 10) - that might be explanation why multiple search results points to the exactly same position…
