In NJ there are 565 municipalities, 250 Boroughs, 52 Cities, 15 Towns, 245 Townships and 3 Villages. There are no unincorporated places in the state of NJ. Every segment of every road type should have a name in the Primary Field. New Jersey follows the guidance below.
City Naming
City names should use the name by which an area is primarily known. In many cases, this is either a Census-designated Place (CDP) or the incorporated municipality name. Other names must be discussed and agreed upon by NJ State Management before implementing into Waze Map Editor.
Updating City Names
 |
This section contains guidance on when it's appropriate to update a city name. Read this information prior to asking questions. If you have questions or would like to propose changes, post a new reply to this forum topic. |
Much of the city names in Waze come from the original map import. Some of these city names need to be updated to reflect current guidance. Any segment with a city name "Greater XX Area" or “XX (2)” is a mistake, and should be corrected. If an entire area is affected with misnamed segments, use the Cities Form to request Waze to update its database.
When updating city name fields, please use the following:
| Field Name | Guidance |
|---|---|
| City (primary) | CDP name or incorporated municipality |
| City (alternative names) | Postal city name and incorporated municipality (if not used in primary city) |
