Okay... I did say the address is correct, so the end address, site, location, place is correct.

The only thing is Waze wants to end the trip on the alley behind the house rather than on the actual street the address is located on.

So the address is 1234 MyHome Street, not 1234 Back Alley.

If I am in my house and make Waze navigate to my house it will tell me to get on MyStreet (in front of my house), make a left at the cross street, then make a left into the alley (in the back of my house) and stop at my house.

Because the pin location is closer to the alley than the street the address is on. If you are in North America, Google pins are set back on the property. Do a Google search of your address and see where the pin is. Once Waze starts using it's own addresses, and if they entered, Waze has a stop point for the street.

I'm pretty sure that adding bug in bugzilla doesn't really result in any fires being lit.

Have you routing to saved the location in the app (a search entry with a star) or are you routing to a history entry (a search entry with a clock)? If so these are saved as coordinates and will not change when the map (either the waze map or the Google map) is updated. Are you still routed the wrong way to the neighborhood behind your complex if you do a new search for the address and select the entry with the tear drop pin?

My understanding is that when autofill results are generated, they are generated from the Google database and this is unlikely to change in the near future. However, if there is an exact match in the waze HNs to a selected autofill result, then waze will route to the waze stop point for that address.

If you complete the search, then waze first parses the search to determine if it is for an address or for a POI. If it is for an address, then my understanding is that waze does look to its own HNs first. However, it only looks to those HNs that have been added or modified by an editor. If it finds such a waze HN match it uses it first before looking to Google addresses. If there is not a perfect match, there may be results from both waze and Google shown on the waze tab.

Yes. I believe the stop point is simply closest point on the street to the house pin.

I'm assuming that they have more trust in the Google data than the data that they imported.

Not sure I understand. Waze tends to distill the stop point down to a particular coordinate pair and thus typically is precise with where it says your destination is. No how accurate the point is can depend on things like where the result came from and how the roads are mapped near the point.

You can typically fix a destination on the waze map.

I have the same problem and I set the address marker much closer to the street than the alley. There is plenty parking on the street. I set the marker last week; the maps were updated yesterday and still today the same problem is happening. Here's a permalink:
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.50 ... s=43450347

The address is 2014 W. Tilghman St., Allentown.
This makes no sense at all. Getting a person from one location to another should be a major priority in Waze. Since I and others are reporting the bug, I wonder why it still exists?

Thanks for responding. Although it might be fine for a map editor to get around the problem to regenerate their home location, it makes no sense for all users to have to do this to be able to use the address search function each time they need to use it.

I hope the Waze design team gives this issue a higher priority.

BTW, Stukje, your bug had me going for a few minutes. Good Job!

Then of what use is Waze's addressing function? I was under the impression that once we mofified an address it would override Google's and that we would be responsible for any new addressing. I certainly do not want to put time and effort into this area if it is not effecting any results.
