Post by dmcconachie
Waze will soon run a script to batch correct abbreviations of Street and Saint in the UK. Please ensure you are using the correct abbreviation.

I assume that the above should be convert "St %" to "St. %" and "% - St. %" to "% - St %" ?
Saint = St.
Street = St

Des. . . ;)
I was thinking the same thing. The second change is backwards and would change all segments ending in Street to end in Saint. Not what you would want.

Ah, OK. I see now. Yes, when "- St." appears in the middle of the segment name, not the end. I missed the importance of the trailing space+% in Darren's post.

Never mind me. :mrgreen:

Just a bit off topic.
- There is no abbreviation for Highway. Atm I'm using 'Hwy'.
- I can't find any example of 'Garden' (no 's') in the UK recently. It'll be interesting to have some example. :mrgreen:

Is that to convert St to St. or will it also convert ones that have been worked around to be saint?

From what I understand the second one is for Numbered roads.

So B123 - St Road St becomes B123 - St. Road St
