You have broken `destination:*` tag values. Please follow the guidelines laid out in the [OpenStreetMap Wiki](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination "Key:destination"). For example, you have garbled every type of destination information into one value. Furthermore, you have not payed attention to the syntax adopted by the community for specifying route references.
```
destination=CR-46;William Floyd Parkway SOUTH;To NY-25;I-495;NY-27;Brookhaven Lab;Shirley;Smith Point Park
```
Since you seem to have a problem with your navigation app, unfortunately you have taken the wrong course of action to mitigate your app’s problem.
Generally speaking, we do not map for a particular navigation app nor a particular map rendering of the OSM database. If you have an issue with your navigation app or a map rendering then please contact your app’s or map’s developers respectively. DO NOT *fix* the OSM database in order to get some desired behavior in your app or some desired map rendering. Thus, please revert your changes. Otherwise, I should be forced to refer this incident to the OSM database admins and ask them to revert your changesets. -

Good morning Jake,
I'm currently reviewing these edits I made from awhile back that you've mentioned, especially with the "destination garble". I've learned over time that isn't the correct OSM action, but I haven't gone back to my edits on Long Island since I moved. So this is probably one I've missed.
The main reason for the edits over time were mostly roadway edits (roads that either did not exist or connect to others) and speed limits. Those affect navigation as a whole, regardless of whatever organization that I was a part of at the time.
If you feel a need to fix the "destination garble" that I have missed, please feel free to do so, I have no qualms about that.
I have no issue if someone has to fix something I made a mistake on, we work together on this platform to make navigation as a whole better for all of us. -

We all make mistakes. However, because you have made so breaking many edits it would be too much of a burden to others to fix them. We usually expect these to be fixed by those responsible.

I understand. I will try to get to as many as I can to fix. I know New York State, from other states' editors that I've talked to, is known as the "Wild West", but when I started doing some edits in Connecticut, I got taught the correct way to do so. If there are any other fixes that you find, don't hesitate to let me know, I can find the time to go through them myself.

Great! 👍 You can use the history function to see what the `destination:*` tags looked like before. Thank you!
