Location address update

Post by ylwfvr
I edited the location of a business visit. waze has the address in a completely wrong location. I edited the map to show the correct building. How will I know if my edit has been confirmed?

Hopefully this works -

1982 Star Batt Dr should be at the location the link above. But it's currently showing it in a different part of the building complex.

thanks for your help

Thank you very much. So how did you move the location from the wrong spot to the correct one? That's what I was trying to do.

Hi there,

We can take a look at your edit, but we first need to know where to look. Can you please provide a permalink from the editor to the place you edited?

I didn't see an edit here that I could confirm, so I went ahead and did a few things to fix this.

For one, I created a Waze place with the name "Adagio Dance Company" in the right spot. Give it about 48 hours and you should be able to search Waze by that exact name and get routed to the right building. When you search, make sure it spells out "COMPANY" as part of the name, and not "Adagio Dance Co" - at least not yet. If you don't see one spelled out, my edit hasn't been pushed live yet and you'll still get the wrong place.

Google had completely bogus information for the pin location, which is where your routing woes were coming from. When Waze has no information about a place, it searches Google Maps. But Google Maps doesn't want to play ball this time. I moved the Address pin to the right spot, and Google wants to moderate the edit, so who knows when that'll go through. So, for right now, searching by address is borked. I'll let you know when Google approves it.

I moved the "business place" in Google to the right spot, and it requires user moderation. Better than Google moderation, but I still won't know when that'll go through either. That is the source for the "Adagio Dance Co" (not spelled out), so searching by name for that particular place is broken until that gets approved. I'll post here too when that goes through.

tl;dr version: wait 48 hours, delete this address from your saved searches and from favorites, and search for "Adagio Dance Company" - it should work then. All other forms of searching will take some time to correct because it's not our fault. I'll post here when it works.

There was no location to move within Waze, I added it from scratch.

The location moving I did do was within Google Maps, which is where all the bad data was at, and which is what you were getting since there was no Waze location to find. You don't even want to start editing over there, trust me...
