Are they expecting you to pave the runway and taxi-ways? :lol: While your at it, go ahead and pave the most heavily traveled flight paths as well.
They could be using the other sense of "missing road" and mean that the taxiway should be removed.

doesn't work well with pandora
And the reason being is Pandora is a memory hungry pig of an app. Combine that with all the background bloatware on most phones, anemic amounts of ram in most phones, and Waze's own memory reqs and someone's going to get oom-killed.

It's all my phone's fault for using Tapatalk.

And yes it's a ghost segment that I had to use the nanorep to request deletion of.

If you hurry it may still be there at https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=1&lat ... s=57913917

Perhaps the next super collider is being built there? Jackson is called the playground of billionaires, perhaps Tony Stark has a mansion there.
I noticed that a while back, it had a number of other "testing playground" features from a long time ago that I got rid of.

Is the error that you went to Taco Bell, or that Waze didn't direct you to make an illegal maneuver of turning right, cutting across 4 lanes of traffic to make an illegal u-turn?

Waze's speed data is correlated to time of day*, so it takes time-of-day variations into account. If you're driving slower because overall traffic is slower, Waze's ETA should be accurate. If you're driving slower than prevailing traffic for some other reason, I don't see how any other nav is going to give you a better estimate.

* I'm not sure if it also takes into account weekday vs. weekend, season, holidays etc.
I may be misunderstanding foxitrot's suggestion, but what I gather is he'd like to be able to set a Max Speed and have ETA take that into account if the route uses segments where the current/historical average is higher than that.

This has value for truck drivers, people with trailers, u-hauls, 1960's VW Beetles, etc, but will likely have to wait for vehicle profile support in the client. It'd also be awesome if routing would take that into consideration and provide a route that doesn't exceed your set max by more than a few %. This would make Waze usable in Urban areas for scooter riders without horribly corrupting traffic data or endangering the rider.

Still love the Waze cow. There is also a Waze sea monster and I think a Waze UFO.
