Thanks robin, that's good to know. Where does the WazeID come from?

Search results for the LiveMap come from Bing, I believe, so the suffix doesn't make a difference here either.

I don't think we want to lock our cities just yet, as there are a lot villages around.

Given the general support for this, I propose the following new wording for the Wiki (at the bottom):

Why not just say, major A-roads may (should?) be set to have No City.

Possibly, though I feel that A-roads that form part of the inner-town road network (with names like High St) should perhaps retain the city name.

However, I'm really not sure it makes any difference either way, so maybe it's not worth worrying about? It might be best to remove this line altogether...

The ayes have it.

If you spot a large town that needs renaming, I'll start a new thread for those requests.

I already removed it from my AM area a while ago.
