maybe you're in a test market. it's not happening in the Atlanta area. i can't imagine there wouldn't be some kind of Parking setting you could opt out of. pretty stupid for there not to be one.
I've gone through all the settings. No way to disable it.
It almost made me very very late for an appointment this morning. Would have sent me up a one-way street to a parking garage that I couldn't even get into because the entrance was on the other side of a median and then would have had to drive about 10 blocks by way of other one-way streets to get back to my destination. In rush hour traffic.
Luckily, I saw the problem ahead of time and I was able to park on the street a couple of blocks down. Made it on time.

Waze can't be relied upon to navigate accurately to my destination, so I guess I'll see if Google Maps has improved.
...This is insane: The job of a navigation app is to accurately guide you to your destination, not to some arbitrary spot several blocks away. Whoever approved this change should be fired and never be allowed to work in that kind of business again.

Starting to see how they fudged it. The parking garage is associated with multiple street addresses. When I search for an address, the garage comes up as the tenant and somebody ("wazparking1" or "subs5" by the creator and updater notes) changed the map to indicate that the building-entrance is actually the parking garage entrance several blocks away.

...Just checked: Google Maps does at least show me the accurate destination instead of directing me to a garage. I'll try it for awhile.
