Am I correct in my assumption that this means that William Penn Highway will now be called "William Penn Highway" as oppoesed to "William Pennsylvania Highway"?

If so thanks, that was annoying.

FM is not included on the abbreviations and acronyms list and is short for Farm to Market.

FM with no dash after it.

Yes please. It's used extensively throughout TX, much like RM. FM with no dash though. If you add a dash it changes it to Federation of Micronesia. THAT we do know. :)

Hi,

A couple of TTS issues experienced in Canada (waze V3.8.0, Android 4.4.2, Navigation guidance English (US) (Tom)). The Canada Post abbreviation guidelines are what we are supposed to be using as a naming convention. The two issues are:

Full Name Abbreviation
Diversion Divers
Point Pt

Currently the TTS engine states "Divers" and "P T". On the wiki page the Point abbreviation is listed as untested, so I guess it doesn't work...

Thanks,
Kayos

There are a few diversions around the Vancouver area and we recently had a bit of a debate about whether to stick with "Divers" or switch to "Diversion". I thought I would post the two issues I was aware of here to get some feedback and see if it would be something to change in the next version or not.

Thanks,
Kayos

The list may not yet include all of the latest suggestions we are preparing to submit to Waze.
Can you please provide a link to the "Big List" the last time I looked at a list, Pt for point didn't work (verified about a month ago) and Divers for Diversion does not work and was not on the list.

Thanks,
Kayos

Reading GizmoGuy411's post, it indicates everything has been tested. The list on the first post in this thread has not been updated, hence the request to see the current list.

Thanks,
