Localised Information from Foursquare Broken

Post by rw-aldum
Hi,

So this might need to go to the international waze bug report... but I thought I'd ask here first:

When searching for a destination in Cape Town, and using Foursquare as a reference, it shows "iKapa" instead of "Cape Town" as the City.
Eg: Searching for Cavendish Square gives the first result as "Cavendish Square, Dreyer St, Claremont, iKapa, Western Cape, South Africa"

iKapa is only present on Foursquare search results. Both Waze and Google results show Cape Town.

I have verified with Foursquare that Cape Town is saved as the City for the locations i have tested. I can only assume that waze is somehow requesting localised information from foursquare and somewhere iKapa is listed as the localised version of Cape Town...

Any suggestions how to get this fixed would be appreciated :)

Hi Walter

Welcome to the forums!

I've gotta admit I was surprised to see this in here. I had clean forgotten about the foursquare connection. :o You might have more luck posting it in the Waze App section of the forum. HERE is the link for the search section.
