Waze route doesn't go to destination!

Post by ditchi56
This UR reports that when asked to navigate to West Middlesex Hospital, Waze drops the destination pin in a suitable place, but determinedly directs the user to the local swimming pool! The trace in the UR shows the user having ignore instructions and arrived in the correct car park, with Waze trying to send him away.

I've tried to replicate it on livemap without success, livemap seems to generate a route - three routes actually - to the right place.

However, on the phone, my route stops short exactly as described in the UR.

Any bright ideas as to what the problem is and how to fix it?

Just tried routing there from Uxbridge, and from this side of London the route goes straight past the hospital to the swimming pool, so it's not that the route is falling short at the pool, it's that the route is to the pool even though the flag is , as you say, placed on the hospital site...

This however is only the case if you navigate to the first search result for West Middlesex Hospital (the one listed as Twickenham Road Isleworth). If you instead choose the second result (listed only as Isleworth) then the destination flag is placed at a different position on the hospital grounds, and the route itself does now go to the right place.

Edit to add: the first, incorrect, result is the Google location, the second one is the Waze location...
