It has come to my attention from a Google Top Contributor (equivalent to a champ, I believe) that it is inappropriate for us to move address pins in order to improve routing in Waze. In example, where someone's house is physically closer to a road behind their house that they don't have access to.
I have also specifically been informed that moving a poorly placed pin using information from GIS goes against their terms of service and is unacceptable. The only time we may make these edits is if the information comes from the local knowledge of users.
There have been multiple instances where a pin was 100 feet or miles away from the actual location and Waze would not route to any Waze place until the Google pin was fixed. Why does Waze so often prefer a Google pin over a Waze place and what can we do to fix issue centered around Google pins?
