Isn't this the reason we use Waze? Perhaps to avoid traffic?
I had Waze do that to me a few times, it would tell me to take an exit, then immediately hop right back on, no routing down side streets or anything to avoid traffic. Over the weekend at a complex intersection where two highways meet, it told me to exit to highway, then wanted me to follow the ramps back onto the highway I came from. It should be solved now.

(n00b here). I found 3 bogus user reported errors on my regular commute. All 3 were reported the same day (Sept 30). After looking at the FAQ and examining the map around each I marked each as solved.

I'm guessing that other folks who are new to waze often report map errors by accident as they fumble around with an unfamiliar UI.

EDIT: with regard to user reported map issue, what would you say the 'real issues' to 'bogus issues' ratio is (i.e. signal to noise)?

My experience - which is less than most on here, but I think still valuable ;) - has been about 10:1. I can't say that the 10 are completely bogus, but they at least don't contain enough info to solve. I see a lot on interstates and assume that something is showing up on the client that the user doesn't like (eg: instruction to take wrong exit , but the exit falls beyond the UR tracking range, etc).
OK. That jives with my impression. I realize that map issues may get reported after the fact so I have been looking upstream.

It seems like having a "this map issue is bogus or too vague to use" reporting option would be useful so that contributors could be assigned reliability scores (while remaining anonymous).

TANGENT: What sort of reputation / feedback is in place for map issue reporters and map editors?

TANGENT2: I was carpooling on my morning commute. Waze notified me (us) of a major accident and we probably saved 30-40 minutes by switching to a mountain back road to get around it. TOUCHDOWN WAZE!!!!

Not sure how (s)he expects Waze to help with this. :lol:
By switching the display from portrait to landscape?

"Not there"? What version of the client makes that possible? NOT the current iPhone-version.

That matrixsign reminds me of another one that was apparently hacked a while ago (reverting the message in the process)http://img.tapatalk.com/541c5095-fd1c-8522.jpg
