He wants you to activate the "no right turn on red" warning at that intersection, in case he might forget this important instruction next time he drives through there.

I'll talk with ODOT about taking some of them out.

That one may possibly be legit...lots of untouched rural areas in Ohio still have private driveways all over the place, and to some of us they are distracting.

I've been saving these for a while...

“there’s roads here”
“How can you navigate with no go/start button???”
“IT’S A CLIFF”
“it takes me to random places” posted from a random place in Texas
“7 mi wrong directions on a dark bad rd.”
“turning here would put me in river. bad.”
“gave really long route to location 1 block away”
“we need a way to UNpave”
“get speed you'll make it” (missing bridge overpass)
“unable to get directions to detout, mi” (I asked if they spelled Detroit correctly; no response)
“Faggot on the road” (I told him it was probably a bonus candy)
“im on barrie, not simcoe dummy” and, nearby, “cant go left on one way dummy”
“salt is seasonal north of here” left N of Traverse City, MI
“massive road cleanup - aisle one”
“Using another app while waze team in the background crashed waze.”
(General error) “nothing is wrong”
“I am already on the east coast”, left in Pratt, KS
“there is not enough ocean it cofuses me !!” near Lodi, CA

Problem: Eastbound on I94 set stop at Costco in West Fargo ND. Waze said take exit 346 Sheyenne St. But it was one exit too soon. We were not the first ones, hand painted sign "Not Costco".

Don't know which of these users has the bigger problem:

Problem: doesn't tell me where to go

and then a few miles north of there:

Problem: stupid bitch tried to take me 8 miles out ta my way

I did suggest downloading one of the smarter voices.

The first one really doesn't know how good he has it with no one in the car ordering him around.

I've been waiting even longer for them to move the pin for Port Columbus International Airport to the terminal area instead of a restricted area in a maze of warehouses. Routing to that spot first adds at least 20 minutes to the trip to the terminal.

But like CBenson says, if it isn't locked, I try to fix it in Google Mapmaker, and so far most of my edits have been approved.

This weekend, I've finally put my name onto my account, but I'm going through a "review" so they can make sure I am who I say I am and my Google account is still restricted, so......good luck on my end for changing the map.

I haven't used my real name for any of my Google accounts, so unless they're not telling me they know more about me than I'm willing to share with them, I don't think this is an impediment to editing.

Of course, it's Google, so they probably do know more about me than I know myself.

EDIT: scratch that, they have my phone number on that account, so they know whatever they want.

Wait, they banned sarcasm?
