This morning I was commuting with my motorbike an I saw a speed cam. I could not use Waze driving, but when I arrived to my office I wanted to report it from my computer in waze.com.

Ididn't find the way to do it. Is it poossible?

You can only report when you are at the location.

Map issues show up in the editor with a short section of the directions Waze is giving you and a short section of what you actually drove (the beginning and end of your trip is scrubbed, so we can't see where you started or finished). As long as you report it BEFORE Waze recalculates and close enough to the intersection, it doesn't matter exactly where the pin is dropped.

You can also report Map Issues from the livemap on the website, but then it's probably a better idea to just go one more page to the Update Map and fix it yourself.

For thinks like Police & Accidents, the pin location is recorded where you hit the Report button, then you can select type and let the "Later" button's countdown finish (or tap the "Later" button and then just finish the report later

Thanks for you fast answer.

Ok. that's strange, I feel disarmed knowing there is a hidden speed camera and not to be able to advise

True. And it sicks. I have always been missing/wanting the ability to report something at a location different from whare I am at the moment :(

When the app directs me to take a turn which is not allowed my mind naturally is trying to think what to do next. At the time when I can report the problem I am already 2000ft away from the actual place. Safety on the road comes first so often it is only possible to report things when I am no longer at that location. To me it looks like a necessary feature to have :P
