House Numbers Update Schedule

Post by
Everyone:

Please see below info from Waze regarding the update schedule for house numbers:
The waze engine house numbers index contains all the house numbers you see in the editor's house numbers layer. Some of the house numbers were added by users and some were imported. The index is updated during the tile build process.

When searching for a specific number, we prioritize the data as follows:
1. If there's a residential place with that specific number, use the place location.
2. If there's a waze house number added by a user (not imported), use house number location.
3. Use google location.
4. If there's no house number location in google's address, use imported location.

An UPDATE on House Numbers and searchability:

While the address database index is updated with each tile build, the Search server index is NOT updated daily with tile updates. This is why recently added/moved HNs in Waze are not showing changes/adds to House Numbers when searching in the app when we'd expect.

We are not sure if this is currently working as designed and/or if they are planning to make any kind of update to get the Search server to align daily with the House Number index.

Just to make sure I'm clear. If we nudge an imported HN (#4), it would then become an added/ edited HN (#2)?

I'm curious whether any further details have been announced or deduced about the routing hierarchy...

I was told to report this problem here.

Still running across cases where Waze fails to find the correct location for an address despite private place maker, House number markers in the correct location.

Despite repeated attempts to fix this problem, including successfully moving the Google Maps point for the address, Waze continues to INTERMITTENTLY and UNPREDICTABLY return the wrong, old location for the address point (the one Google originally returned).

207 Milton Rd, Maurice, LA
Google maps returns the correct location for the above address line but the wrong location for
207 Milton Rd, Maurice, LA 70555

This strange, repeatable phenomena, may be related to the Waze problem.

The searches I am trying are in WME, livemap, and Google Maps. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

Occasionally I search in the App itself, but if I can't get reliable searches in livemap, my experience says that the App itself will fail also.

It finally updated on the 15th (!??!!) to the 8th !!!!
And WME is still 'glacially slow', so they must be running another update now.
:(

At least, I found I couldn't count on my GMM fixes sticking, even when there was nothing about them to which I could imagine a human would object. That and maddening experiences trying to get obvious, significant problems solved (e.g. A Walmart pin off by a quarter mile, but getting it fixed was nigh impossible) and I hardly ever look at GMM any more.
Lately, the fastest fix for Google pin locations seems to be 'feedback' in Google Maps, rather than GMM. (at least for me!)

Would be interesting to verify the format of Venezuela that includes a "-" to the house numbers, and see if that causes the error that does not get it
