I'm open to that

pcp192 started locking at level 4, ask him for comment

The shields format won't change, so we're safe in that area.
Yeah but that doesn't address the "Shxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" Issue

I think it would be great if we can, although people I talk to say they use Google Navigation (oh the irony of Google owning Waze now and only using the reports) and the area they drive in does not have many traffic issues so they don't see a need to use it. Its really a bit of a catch 22, we can't get good road data and reports without the users but users won't use it because it doesn't have good data.

If I remember correctly the numbers in the US came from the news using it for traffic reports, there were videos on the Waze site, but they seem to have disappeared, except for this one: https://www.waze.com/tv
It would be great if one of the free channels (or even SKY news) picked it up as a story/used the data.
