route guidance calls for left turn on straight freeway

Post by buzzardjoe

I drove this strip of I75 northbound the other day. Route guidance suggested I turn left at the junction where I475 exits to the right. There are two ramps stuck in the middle of the freeway here. Correct guidance should be something like "keep left" instead of turn left. Should the ramps be removed?

You may want to clear your TTS Cache to make sure the instruction gets regenerated & Waze just doesn't reuse the old one.

I found the relevant Waze guide for this junction.

The problem is that the guide says that the app should say "stay left" instead of my result of "turn left". Anyone know what might be causing the problem?

According to the Livemap your client should have said "Keep Left". And I know that I drove on that stretch numerous times since its last been updated back in April 2014 and I would have noticed a "Turn Left". Who's voice were you using.
