274 Gumtown Road, WhangareiI once though/agreed with this concept but no longer3. The reference to St Loius is not correct - taking a close look at the map both Streets and Primary Streets have the same name in any given area. In the central city area of St Loius they all have the city field of St Loius and in the suburbs all streets and Primary Streets are using the suburb name in the city field. The net effect of this is that the suburb names appear on the map and in the city centre it is named St Loius. If one was to search for 'St Loius' for a destination I'm guessing it would take you to the centre of the area called St Loius.
This is the effect we need in Auckland (and other cities) as well with suburb names appearing correctly on the map.
Looking at this view on the client
My question is - if we name all primary streets using 'Auckland' what will you see on the client in this scenario? As all 'Streets' are not visible won't it show just Auckland? That is an undesirable outcome
No, have a look at Whangarei, it has been named with our new/proposed naming system for a few update cycles now .As all 'Streets' are not visible won't it show just Auckland?
strongly agreeThe biggest problem here is that we are trying to create a cludge to solve the fact the Waze cannot achieve exactly what we want. If it had more fields for naming and the ability to geographically pinpoint the centre of any town, then we wouldn't need to even consider a complex set of rules where the city field is used differently in various scenarios and unfortunately the rule as currently proposed does not suit all scenarios.
For what ever reason it appears that city names take awhile to update at different zoom levels (don't quote me on this)True - but at the same time Whangarei disappears as you zoom out so what's been achieved by naming all the primary streets as Whangarei? All that's visible when zooming out is the surrounding suburbs. How would the map differ if in the suburban areas ALL streets had the suburb name?
