Found an UR to check Batavia, NY. Evidently Bah-tay-vee-ya isnt what's coming out. Hope I got that part correct. Thank you!

There is a city, street and a bunch of side streets that are being mispronounced by Waze. It drives me crazy because its one of the first and last streets on my commute every day.

City: Myakka City, Florida
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-82.26 ... 111&zoom=5

Street: Myakka Road
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-82.26 ... 111&zoom=5

The text-to-speech for some reason calls it "Mah-LOR-Ka". It should be "My-Aak-Ahh".

How the TTS gets an "L" in there I have no idea.

All occurrences of the title "Brookpark" are mispronounced. Eg Brookpark Rd, Brookpark the City. All audible uses by Waze pronounce the title as "Brookpeark" with a pear ending. Brookpark is pronounced Brook park.
Thanks for the consideration

In Texas, we have three roads which I've never seen in any other state (and I've been to half of this country):

FM-Farm to Market
RM-Ranch to Market
PR-Park Road (this may be used inside parks throughout the country, but Texas names them for roads going to a park or through a national/state park).

Most people will say "take a left onto F M 429" but they are labeled as Farm to Market road 429. They are state maintained roads and there is no exact configuration on them, or no set standards as to how they built. You'll find them in ALL of the major cities in the state and they are usually called something else, but as you drive on the road through the city, you'll see the signs that remind you you're on FM 429. A lot of these roads are set to the maximum speed limit of the Interstate Highway System (I love flying down a FM road at 80mph and not worry about getting pulled over). I haven't used the TTS a whole bunch to figure out what it says when it comes to these roads, but I'm assuming it will say "take a left onto ef em 429." I'll report back when I decide to go down a FM road using the TTS.

You need to come further south. In the San Antonio/Austin area. More specifically near the Blanco area and some points in between College Station and Austin. The Park Roads are down near there, too. I know there is a Park Road near where the Bastrop fire was last year, and another one somewhere west of Austin, but they're there. Also, if you Google map Kyle, Tx and follow FM 967 out west from Kyle, it dead ends into RM 1826. You can also click on the street views and see the sign clearly marked as "Ranch Market."
