I'd have to disagree. How many street signs or exit ramps do you see that have a "" or '' in them? I understand that we're trying to get Waze to say the actual letter instead of a direction, so I would advocate more of the period.

What I'm saying is that the period was tested, and with only one letter, the period still sounded out as the direction and not the letter.
I've tested the period, too and didn't get a direction. I'm waiting for my next test results to hit the client to find something else out about the period. I did have quotes around a lower case "s" and it looked really funny (had a few URs about it, too).

Agree that double quotes look weird. Did you try something like [Ave S.]? For me, it came up as [Ave South].
I'm waiting for:
Sp
A.T.&T.
Alt
St. Middle St

Those were added last night, so in a couple of days, they'll hit the client and I can test them out. I'm going to try out some combos of "S 1st St W" to see what I get.

Then the person who's looking at the period needs to be paying attention road, not if the period is after or before a letter.

As far as the other things, I'm going through the list at the very beginning of thread and finding out what works and what doesn't work. I also need to know how "AT&T Center Pkwy" is going to read because I have exit signs and a road called that, so that's a local issue.

It should say "Exit 223A-B: LA-xx / Williams Blvd / New Orleans International Airport" :D

I can't remember what state highway Williams Blvd is.

I had a "stay left at eye four ten" today with the ramp named "I-410." There's a direction attached to that, but I can't remember if it's east or north at that point (and it's near the change over, too). There was no pause or anything.

I've been spelling out "business". I'd rather have waze say "I-20 business" instead of "I-20 bus".

- In this street name: to Downtown / Cesar Chavez N, the "N" at the end was pronounced as the letter N instead of "North". Any idea what could cause that, seeing as the N is not in quotes?

I've just gotten a report about this today where the "N" was reading as "en" and not "north." It is unknown if the other directional letters are doing the same thing or not.
