Yes, it is the same. St. Albert Trail works fine in the Edmonton area (just don't forget the ".").

But in the rest of the country, we use normal punctuation for abbreviations (i.e. a period), so we don't spell it out.

And that leads to problems, like the one that prompted this post.

I'd sure like to have seen a permalink - if "St." isn't being pronounced correctly, we need to escalate that.

OTOH, if the issue is that someone has put "St Croix" in, then that is a map error to resolve.

Normally, Street is "St" and Saint is "St." Note the period.

but Saint is not listed here for Canada: https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Canada ... reviations
But is here for the USA: https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Ab ... d_acronyms
I would imagine it's the same.

But if it's not working correctly, point it out to your Area/Provincial/Country Managers. There have been known to be glitches, that can be repaired.
