Residential Place/en
Residential Place
Upon arrival, Waze suggests taking a photo of your destination. In this way, many private places are uploaded to the WME. The residential category is used for these private places (RPP). Private places cannot be searched and the identity of the person who created them or attached photos cannot be seen. Private Places contain only photos and an exact address, without all other features of a Place. The photos are only shown to people who explicitly drive to the address in question.
When determining the location of an entered destination, the private places are checked first, followed by the segment house numbers.
The house number can be less complex compared to a regular segment house number. Only a simple number, possibly followed by a letter, is allowed.
Examples: Boerkampweg 1, Boerkampweg 1A
Convert
Public Places can be converted into private places and vice versa. Select the place and then use the Convert to residential button to convert it to private or the Convert to public button.
Street names
If the street name from a residential place differs from the most nearby segment it may be an error. This situation can be detected by the WME Magic script.
These are the possible solutions:
- The street name of the most nearby segment is wrong.
- The RPP street name is wrong.
- One of those street names are wrongly spelled.
- The location of the RPP is wrong, perhaps to near to a side street.
It may be necesary to add an Entry/Exit point if:
- The street name is prefixed by a “Road number”, see Routing to matching Alternative Street names.
- The RPP is located on a Private Road or a Parking Lot Road without name.
