sockslabs(3) What is the "general error"?
Reporter I entered an address on oak st. Wade brought to a point on route 9 west. Oak st parallels route 9. But there is half a mile between them
sockslabs(3) More details, please. Address would be helpful.
Reporter It brought me to the wrong street. I call that an error
sockslabs(3) Indubitably. All I see is that you were traveling westbound on 9. The report does not include your destination. Please provide the destination address on Oak St so I know what to fix.
All around the Mulberry Bush we go..

Problem: I arrived at designated destination, but map (or waze) is not accurate and shows me still in transit.
Know when to stop, dude. Trust your eyes, not the technology.

I've found the reporter often doesn't recollect where they were when they filed the report, so I usually usually say something like "can you please provide more information on the 'general error' you reported on E. Main St. in Shrewsbury, MA?" If I get any response at all, it's often something like "I was heading towards my destination and it told me to take that left." Improving the quality of that initial response is paramount, because it seems that the probability of further responses decreases exponentially.

Problem: left from right lane
Are you asking for Waze to keep track of which lane you're in? GPS doesn't have that kind of resolution. If you see a left coming up, then you might want to get into the left lane.

Reported on I-290W: Turn not allowed
sockslabs(3) on June 24, 2014
What you you mean 'turn not allowed' on 290 W?
Reporter on June 24, 2014
No U turn ..
sockslabs(3) on June 24, 2014
I don't understand. You're on 290W, a 3-lane interstate highway. Taking a U-turn is going to kill somebody. What do you mean?
He hasn't responded back -- I fear something terrible may have happened. ;)
