Here is one that isn't taking you to some unrelated area, but when it zooms, you really have no idea why it chooses to zoom at this particular location.

Very unusual. I've seen maybe one or two that were that bad. I know exactly *why* it zooms out to that point...it's the exact center between the User Drive and the UR pin.

I suspect the reason this happened is that the user started to send the report in one spot, but didn't actually send it until much later. It dropped the pin where the ! was pushed, but showed the User Drive where the Send was pushed (maybe).

I'd forward it to support. I don't know if they're following this thread anymore.

As I say not so unusual here and many are worse. I hesitated to post this one because it is actually a relatively minor one in that you can kind of figure out what's going on. Some I just have no idea what the relevance of the area zoomed to is.

Hi,

the shortcut Shift-A to show the "red arrows" is a really usefull feature.

But in some situations you have to check every road connected to the junction. Here an example:
https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&l ... s=70117449

In this view you can't see if https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&l ... s=70116735 has a red arrow at the same junction so you have to check the road, too.

Would it be possible to implement the following feature?

If you press Shift-A the red arrows occur. If you do a mouseover over an red arrow all roads connected with this junction and contain a red arrow at this junction will be "highlighted".

So debugging of wrong turns would be more easier.

I hope I could explain what I mean...

If you hit S, it spreads the arrows out so you can see the ones that are hiding.

S also refreshes all of the visible arrows on the screen, so I make a habit of hitting it after every turn restriction change.

Even with spread arrows, you still can not tell, which incoming road is not allowed to continue through a particular red arrow (because all possible connections to a particular outgoing road are blended to just one arrow). The feature would indeed make sense.
