Proper pronunciation in NJ

Hello Waze editors!

My home exit off New Jersey’s Garden State Parkway southbound is the parkway’s final exit. The ramp exit sign reads, “Exit O.” My Waze navigator tells me it’s “Exit O” (as in “oh,” the capitalized alphabetical letter).

It’s really “Exit Zero” and any self-respecting Jerseyan can tell you this. As in, “The Exit Zero Jazz Festival” or Exit Zero magazine. It’s the gateway to Cape May, arguably our most beautiful shore destination. I cringe every time Waze announces I’ve arrived at exit oh.

Love you guys.

Thank you for that assist! The reason we used a male voice was that our dog would whine when she heard a woman speaking. Go figure.

I understand - but I am curious if the problem is with specific voice…
