One of the most common issues with feeds is a discrepancy between the street name that appears in the file and the street name on the Waze map. For example, when a closure provided through a feed identifies a street with a name that doesn't match the one that appears on the Waze map.
Use the Reverse Geocoding API to resolve these inconsistencies.

In the window that opens, you'll see a list of street names (and alternative street names, if any exist) within a 50 meter radius of the provided coordinates. These names are sorted by distance in meters from the coordinates. For example: {"result":[{"streetNames":["Street name"],"distance":4.54296584097681}], "lon":-43.1729,"radius":50,"lat":-22.90685}
Note:- The top 5 street names are in descending order
- The distance is measured in relation to the nearest street
- From the list of street names that appears, select the street name that matches the street name in Waze. Use that name in your feed.
