Duplicate map entry with incorrect pin position

Post by mike20878
I was navigating to 2401 Research Blvd in Rockville MD the other day and Waze took me to the wrong location. I then noticed there are two entries on the map in the app.

The incorrect location is on the north side of Shady Grove Rd.

I found the location in the map editor, but I don't see how to delete it.

Here is the correct location:

Thanks.

The incorrect location still shows up in a new search.

Thanks.

Thanks Mike! It looks like 2401 Research Blvd, Rockville, MD didn't have an address pin which can cause weird routing. However, smokingtree recently added it, and it looks like the update has been pushed out to mobile devices. Thanks ST!

Now that the new address location has been updated in the Waze app, please perform a new search for this location. Don't re-use a previous search result. Also, please delete and re-save Home/Work or any Favorites previously saved for this location, using a new, fresh search result. Thanks!

Hi Mike,

I work a quarter mile from there. I just used the app to search for 2401 Research Blvd, Rockville, MD (no zip code) and I got the correct location (near the corner of Research Blvd and Research Ct). Can you please make sure you don't select a predictive search result in your new search in the app? The font should be bold on the street number for the address, and the icon should be a "pin" instead of a "clock" (that shows a new, fresh search result vs a cached result).

I did see 2401 Research Ct, Rockville MD in the initial predictive search results, and when I selected that, it pointed to the incorrect location further north on Research Ct (although 2401 is not a valid house number for Research Ct, not sure where that result is coming from).

Hello,

2401 Research Blvd has correct location pinned in the map. The link you gave to us is about Research Ct, not Blvd.
