Thanks for the answer, svache. I read all the posts, and now I know that house numbers can have two colors: blue (approved and valid) or red (invalid). The ones I inserted are red, so Waze thinks they are invalid for some reason. However, in most cases, there is just one house number in the entire street, so there's no reason to tag them as illogical. This really looks like a bug.

There's one thing I still don't understand. What is the scope of this consistency analysis? Does Waze only try to check numbers in the same segment? Or does it try to check numbers in the whole street? If the latter is true, how does it know that two segments belong to the same street? The street name has to be identical and the direction has to be the same?

Thanks again,
Tiago

I found something interesting. I tried to edit one of the house numbers I had inserted (which was red). I noticed that the "Suggested Street Name" was filled in, but the "Street Name" was empty. I decided to fill the "Street Name" and save my changes. The "Street Name" didn't get saved properly (it remains empty), but the house number turned white instantaneously. What does that mean? Is the number still "under analysis"? Is Waze trying to check it again just because I updated the number somehow?

Hiya!

I think this topic: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3744 might be able to give you some explanation of the house number issue.

As for your question about the numbers+name or name+numbers, that doesn't seem to matter. They also use the app in Europe and they use a name+number system, just like Brazil

If you open a red house number and just simply hit save it will turn white. Cartouche treats that as you have verified the data as correct.

The issue has been that somehow the back end keeps overriding what we say and turns it back to the red, unverified state in a day or two.

I am also confused about the Street vs. Suggested Street fields.
