English Pronunciation of Street Names and Locations

Post by ChookFowler
Is there a way to change how certain names are pronounced in English (or other) languages? For example, a nearby street is named "Meningie". It is a reproduction of a SA country town pronounced "Men-in-Ghee". The Waze English is announcing this as "Men In Jee". I assume there are many non phonetic names that need slight changes to the way names should be announced. I.e is there a methodology to do this.

Sorry for the delay responding ...The Waze Voice I am using is English (US) - Jane.

To be clear Meningie has a G like golf.

Sorry for the late reply. I just had a look at this and my ear couldn't hear the fine difference you're hearing. You can request a change using the instructions here: https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Austra ... TS)_change
