The FAQ & Addresses

I could have sworn I saw a post a while ago (a year or more) that said that Google was preferred over the imported house numbers UNLESS those house numbers had been added or updated by a user (who is trusted more than the Google markers).

I've had good experiences (recently) adjusting house numbers & getting the results to show in the app - HOWEVER, you can NOT accept the auto-complete suggestions. You have to type it all in yourself & hit the search button (magnifying glass on keyboard) AND make sure you are looking at the Waze tab for the result.

That's what I thought...

So, I think we need to update this part of the FAQ

As long as the house number has been touched/bumped/adjusted by an editor, they will be preferred.
