Yes, mobile cameras should be reported as Police. The Camera report is for permanent locations. The camera you reported should go away in the client in the next update cycle or two, but you will need to delete it in the edit map once you are on the correct server.

I'm new to Waze but already have grown to love it. Been using it for a few days now but had some questions and a couple of issues.

Live Map is blank for my city (Adelaide, Australia). I can search for it, it appears but there is nothing on the map. No streets, nothing except the ocean and the land. If I switch to update, it shows aerial photographs but no maps or other landmarks. When I log into the editor and click Drives it reports "We can't find any of your drives.". There are no roads shown on the map for my city. Sydney is also missing, Brisbane has some, Hobart is missing... When checking other cities around the world such as Los Angeles, it works fine. (I have checked this in both Chrome and FireFox with the same results)

On my dashboard page, it shows "Rank, last updated: 1.1.1970, 10:30", so that isn't updating.
