warnings in iOS version

Postby agentgonzo » Mon Jul 23, 2012 2:28 pm

I don't know whether I'm doing something wrong, but I never get popups when driving. I've been past quite a few 'car on hard shoulder hazard' and 'heavy traffic' hazards but never seem to get any popups when I'm driving apart from when I stop at traffic lights, then get a deluge of popup from the surrounding area that aren't on my route. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

Also, I never get the option to report a traffic jam or hazard as 'not there' that other people seem to be able to do. I've been past quite a few 'heavy traffic' jams that weren't there at all and want to report them as such so that it clears them for other wazers. Am I doing something wrong or is this not availably for iOS/UK users?

thanks.

You should get pop ups for user generated pop ups reported for the same direction of travel as reported (My lane / Other lane feature in the report). It helps to have navigation on, so the software can for sure know if you are going to travel through a report.

I don't believe manual traffic reports can be "not there"'d, but I've turned the manual ones off so can't swear to that. The automated ones, will clear once you (or another wazer) drives through the area at a better speed.

Police, hazards, I know for sure you can not there, bug again only if you are traveling in the same direction as the report, and only when the proximity pop up is open.
