Thank you for your report - could you please provide more detail concerning the issue you encountered? (open to any editor)

Waze 180

Volunteer responding - It sounds like this issue occurred while you were still parked. Before you've started driving/moving, Waze (like any gps) guesses which way you're pointed and places you on the nearest road. If you keep driving it should give Waze a chance to detect which way you are pointed and offer you a more suitable route.

If there is another/different issue, please let us know. (Waze app > Inbox > new comment message > swipe up to reply)

City Layer Discussion

Overview/Background

South Carolina

South Carolina does not use CDP data, or alternate cities. Only townships are given info in the city layer. This means that there are open areas of the map with no city info associated.

Concerns

This raises questions about how Waze returns search results for addresses, and routes users. "What if someone lives on a no-city street?" Waze supposedly uses more than one source of information for determining street addresses, but some editors assert that Waze shouldn't rely on this 'safety net', and should be capable of storing and relying on it's own address information

Questions

Is alt city information valuable/purposeful?

Alternate Approaches

Smallest area primary, parent area alternate

Municipality primary

City/Metro primary
