The house numbers interface cannot be activated when there are unsaved edits.
House numbers are editable only at the 100m/200ft zoom level and lower.
House numbers cannot be added to segments without a name.
House numbers are not searchable unless there is a city name on the segment (Primary or Alternate). This is true whether the house number is an import or added/adjusted by an editor.
House numbers will direct the user to the location of the HN's anchor point on the named road segment.
A segment cannot have its street name removed if there are house numbers attached to it.
An individual segment cannot have its primary city name removed if there are house numbers attached to it. Selecting two (or more) segments with different street names will allow the primary city name set to "none", but all segments selected must have the primary street name changed to the same name. Therefore be sure to go back and fix any improperly changed street name if this method is used.
House numbers can contain numbers and letters, but cannot start with a letter.
The Waze app does NOT automatically update position data for already-obtained destinations! Even after an address has been adjusted using WME and/or Google Maps, the app will retain the stale position data indefinitely and navigation will continue to fail. To eliminate stale position data, ask the reporter to first delete any existing instances of the destination in their recent search history and home/work/favorites list and then conduct a new search for the destination.
If an address is on an unnamed road segment (private, parking lot, etc.) and the marker is a long way from the actual house/business location, then delete the Waze house number and add a residential point place (RPP) which contains only the address. Be sure to have the house number, street name, city name, and entry/exit point in the RPP; additionally ensure the RPP's city name is listed a primary or alternate city name on a nearby segment. In the case that RPPs have been added to a segment other than where their corresponding house numbers are anchored, these house numbers should be deleted. This will reduce potential problems with searching for the address or editing the RPP. In the case that RPPs have been added to the same segment as their corresponding house number (e.g. people just taking pictures of their houses), those HNs should remain, as they will be in the same location as the RPP and routing will not be negatively affected.
If the correct stop point for a house/business is on another road segment (differently named segment) away from its properly labeled segment in Waze, then a Waze house number for that address should not be used. Instead, add a residential point place (RPP) which contains only the address. Be sure to have the number, street name, city name, and entry/exit point in the RPP; additionally ensure the RPP's city name is listed in the primary or alternate name on a nearby segment. In the case that RPPs have been added to a segment other than where their corresponding house numbers are anchored, these house numbers should be deleted. This will reduce potential problems with searching for the address or editing the RPP. In the case that RPPs have been added to the same segment as their corresponding house number (e.g. people just taking pictures of their houses), those HNs should remain, as they will be in the same location as the RPP and routing will not be negatively affected.
If the addresses are on service, frontage, or outer roads, see the House Numbers on Service Roads article for a guide on adjusting the house numbers to route to service road properly.
