People seem to be running Waze on a bus...

Someone seems to be running Waze on a bus, as I see Waze-generated reports like this:

https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... TTTTTTTTFT

"Problem: Part of the route is in the wrong driving direction"

How would I deal with something like this? Or should I just ignore the reports and click "Not Identified"? And keep closing them as they appear? I can't think of any options that would both prevent more reports and not route drivers into the bus-only lanes.

No one gets acknoledged on Waze generated reports.

Well, that is not entirely true, I think if there are enough not identified they go to the IGN team to "resolve".

If it was on a train you will see the tracks on the aerials. If it was on a plane you will only see the part of the flight that is slower than some cutoff speed - close to the runway.

UR = Update Request - created by Wazer on the road.
ME = Map Error - created by a process analyzing drives.

(edit)
Duh, I meant

MP = Map Problem - created by a process analyzing drives.

I think the cutoff speed for civilian GPS's are 300-400 Kmph or something around that mark so that they can't be used as guidance for a IED guided rocket.

I see only counterevidence: My ipad shows 900km/h in-flight, and Sirf claim speeds above mach-1 for their Sirf 3 chipset.

But you did not run Waze on a plane, did you? If so, at what speed did it stop?

I am sure you do that every day.

I stopped making screenshots over 190kmh.

Yes, auto generated map problems, not update requests. If it brings the ign crew to the area its to be avoided unless you want the whole area to be marked as one big parking lot (or perhaps many small parking lots).

Ahh. Now that answers a question I had, on how to stop Waze routing me through a parking lot at the office with a manual boom gate at one end which is only opened for two hours in the afternoon. I'd previously made it a 'no left turn' junction, which worked for a few months. Then I guess several Wazers drove through this route in the afternoon, so it was automatically updated. I've now defined it as a parking lot, so let's see how that works.

Gps speed indication in waze stops around 225/230 km/h. At higher speeds it's not locking very well anymore.

Other GPS app's can give a higher speed without a problem, so it's not limited on the phone...

This is was allready with 2.x client on both iphone and android. I don't know what android 3.x does...

yes in Germany (our neighbours) there are lots of freeways without speedlimit.... ;-)
