how many of these odd entries are the results of auto-correct or bad typing or both? I know for certain auto-correct has screwed up some of my messages!

Yes. But I can't remember anything specific right now.

The horrors of having to LOOK for the destination!

Not sure how (s)he expects Waze to help with this.

By switching the display from portrait to landscape?

This happens when your GPS is way off to the side so Waze orients your car arrow sideways or at other odd angles I've seen it many times. Usually, the display is also a bit stuttered while this is happening.

I read this as they want it to state 'Vehicle Stopped' rather than 'Car Stopped,' not vehicle type.

Type: Missing bridge overpass
Description: find riggly field

This is in Oregon. And it's misspelled. And what does it have to do with "missing bridge overpass?"

I wish I could punch the stupid out of some people. :roll:

Type: General error
Description: un noted gas spil

I've added it as a landmark.

Type: Missing bridge overpass
Description: bridge up

This was for a bridge lift to allow a large ship to pass under. Traffic jam report? Maybe. Map issue? I don't think so.

[list]"In 800 metres, be ready to turn left."

Yes, that one. I've suggested it in other similar "grammar" threads in the past, too. It is grammatically correct and keeps the information in the necessary order.
