Here's me being so difficult, I'm getting called out in UR's....
my address is on San Carlos Way. Waze keeps directing me to enter my home from Bastanchury Road. This is not possible. I have reported this issue several times. SHAWNDOC, please do not keep saying that there is insufficient information to solve the problem. I believe my explanation of the issue is very clear.
The house runs along Bastanchury (major st), and depending on which house it is, there's not even a backyard between it and Bastanchury. The address and driveway are located on San Carlos, which is a residential st.

Thanks to Waze getting rid of any way to communicate to people reporting UR's, there's no way for me to PM them and explain there's nothing wrong with the map (there isn't, GPS tracks show the roads are where they should be), and they need to contact Bing to have the GPS coordinates moved closer to San Carlos.

So instead, the user is getting mad at ME, because I'm the only active editor in this city, and I keep "requesting more information" when he submits the UR. Guess maybe I'll just start marking it solved.

I think this is the person who PM'd me yesterday. I'm waiting to hear back if they are one and the same, or if it was someone else who had an issue with Waze routing to the wrong street. If not, I will probably try putting a landmark or road on top of the neighborhood to get him to contact me. Just hope Waze follows through with the more frequent updates.

Ran across a number of UR today from the same user. They were basically "This isn't a road, this is a parking lot/gas station/whatever."

The roads were all set to parking lot type, and were last edited in 2011.

bz2012 wrote: I find some areas with MANY 'stale reports'. It can not give the users a good impression of WAZE when their reports are ignored.
There's plenty of places like that, even in heavily populated areas in Southern California. When I started editing, I was finding places, in cities in Los Angeles County, that had plenty of of reports that were 3 months old. Areas near Palm Springs where there were reports dating back to January (In August). Similar in some of the areas in Orange County where I have edit access.

Its one of the reasons I miss the ability to see UR's in areas I don't currently have editor access to. I would find pockets of red UR's, and either request AM access or drive out to it, since it was clear their aren't any active local editors for that location.

Now I can't do that.

Looks like JetBlue is using Waze to navigate their planes. This was posted on the tarmac of Long Beach Airport (California).

Pretty sure AZ-64 isn't anywhere near Irvine, CA.
I-40 and AZ-64 should be connected; they are not currently.
And I checked, and they are connected.

Description: should have another road for jack and te box drive through
No, we shouldn't.

(As a bonus, someone had already drawn in 90% of the lanes in the parking lot months ago.)
