"Beech Hill" is everywhere

Post by usa_1i8h16z3
Hello from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

I have a map display issue: the label "Beech Hill" appears almost continuously on my iPhone screen, no matter where I go.

As far as I know there is no place called in my area named Beech Hill, and I do not understand why it moves around so much.

Here are some examples:

I know it's just an incorrect place name but I use Google Navigation instead of Waze because it irritates me seeing "Beech Hill" on almost every local map when the place doesn't exist. Perhaps I'm too fussy, but I don't have any faith in a navigation application with such a massive error for years on end.

It seems like it'd be worth while to do the same to Lake Charlotte in an attempt to pinpoint the source? The "city" in the Lake Charlotte area is 3 segments, but needs L4 Permalink

Honestly, I'll be done editing when Waze knows the fastest way between all my destinations
