Route to house number ends on wrong street

Post by lukemcgarry

Routing to 556 Ann St., Elgin, IL incorrectly routed to the backside of the house on Liberty. The houses on this street have their backsides on Liberty.

I edited the street numbers on Ann St to move them from the middle of each property to the center of each house, thinking that moving them closer to Ann St would affect the routing and correct the issue.
Today, after the maps were updated, the route on Live Map does not change and still routes to Liberty. A test of 662 also routes to Liberty instead of Ann St.

What should I try next?

Read Item #28 of the Waze FAQ.
Waze FAQ, Item #28 wrote:The Waze map editor currently allows for the limited placement and adjustment of addresses on streets, and while it is a good idea to update this address information for accuracy, it is not currently being used by Waze for navigation.
Waze FAQ, Item #28 wrote:Most providers offer a way to submit corrections to their location data. It is normal for more than one provider to have the same bad information. This is due to their being two primary providers of GPS location data, which other companies then license. After correcting the location information with the correct Waze provider, it is a good idea to update with these two original providers. Instruction on how to do so can be found here.

I believe the address routing within Waze still utilizes Google to determine the exact address point so you would need to locate the address in google maps and submit for the point to be moved within google. You'll likely find that google also had it closer to the back of the property than the front.

Once google updates the position, Waze should route correctly.

Thanks for the responses.
I just saw that I even mentioned the wrong street (Liberty), whereas, I should have stated Hickory. Not that it makes any difference.

I will look at Google and follow the links to the two data providers and submit changes for that street.
Thanks.
