Regarding City with Similar Name

Hi Team,

Creating the post as Nicole @nickyaug advised. Just to mention that a case similar to this case while considering the distance is already created by @LostInMyMaps here (https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=346531). I think this is a different case as it is more related to the same city name in different provinces.

There seems to be an issue while creating the same city name in different parts of the country (Nepal). We have the same city name in different provinces, so we are unable to create one for now.

I have thought of a workaround to add the cities by introducing the different brackets [(),{},] as needed, so it is different from the one added earlier.

It may work for us as we use two languages in the city name, but won’t work for only one language in the city name.

Eg. Biratnagar विराटनगर, Biratnagar (विराटनगर), Biratnagar {विराटनगर}, Biratnagar [विराटनगर]

Just wondering if it can be sorted out with the introduction of the province (Not sure if it’s dependent on other administrative regions). The province isn’t added yet for Nepal, otherwise I would have tested it.

Country: Nepal

Beta/prod: Both

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. One of the city name is already created here (https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=row&lat=26.81753&lon=85.26403&s=3879075839&zoomLevel=15).

  2. If you create the same city name here (https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=row&lat=27.85270&lon=82.33809&s=258859202558&zoomLevel=15) it will reproduce the issue.

Hi MadanKPradhan,

Thank you for sharing this detailed explanation.

When you refer to provinces, do you mean adding states to Nepal?

Best,
Maia

Yes Maia. The states addition process is in queue as informed by @nicole.

Hi @Vladyslav-Staff,

The issue isn’t resolved yet and the information isn’t outdated. I have rechecked it again in the same location.

Really appreciate if it isn’t closed as obsolete.

Hi @MadanKPradhan,

Sorry for the wrongly changed obsolete status of the following issue, as this was part of the clean-up process.

Can you please share the updated screenshots/screen recordings, as I couldn’t check the behavior from the older links in the main post, nor am I able to check the unavailable attachment with the city creation issue. We will proceed with our investigation, and I’m changing this ticket status to need more details.

Thank you in advance for assistance!

Regards,
Vladyslav

Yes I got the vibe of the clean-up process.

Attached is the screenshot for the error message displaced.

All the information share in the original post still reflects the issue.

HI @MadanKPradhan,

Thank you for attaching the screenshot. I’ve logged the internal ticket with all the data that you provided from the original post, and our team will take another look at it.

I will keep you posted in this thread.

Thank you.
