Problem: house at this location
Reported on: March 22
Posted from the middle of a roadway.


I can see where that could be a problem!
The house-movers must have dropped it there!
We will get right on moving it. Where do you want us to put it?
(if you leave the choice to us, it might be uncomfortable).

Problem: missing yield sine

Going on a tangent here, but, may be missing the cosine as well.
It's a sine of the times!

Update Request: General error
I'm sitting at the Conoco gas station off I-10 West, off Exit 80. When I tried to validate the prices, Wazer gave me an error message saying it could not find any gas stations, and there are several in the area this is a major stop with many restaurants and gas stations. Please add Conoco Travel Plaza and list the gas prices as follows: Regular is 305.9, Plus is 325.9, Premium is 345.9, and Diesel is 369.9. Please also upgrade my point to give me credit for validating these gas prices. Thank you!

Who want to solve his/her problem?
Somebody? Please! Be sure and don't forget the points. :)

Edit: and another report from the same location:
General error (user reported)

Problem: I am traveling on I-10 West in Louisiana, and stopped at Exit 80 at the Conoco Travel Plaza for gas. I tried to validate the gas prices at the Conoco Travel Plaza, and Wazer gave me an error message saying there were no gas stations in the area. This is a major stop on the interstate and there are many restaurants, hotels, and gas stations. Please correct the map and list the Conoco Travel Plaza off Exit 80 and add the following gas prices: Regular - 305.9 Plus - 325.9 Premium - 345.9 Diesel - 369.9 After this correction is made, please update my Wazer account and give me points/credit for validating the gas prices at the Conoco Travel Plaza. Thank you!

This one is posted 3 times from about the same location. Wow. What way to run up their points. :)

Oh, there is an 'exit 80' travel plaza conoco from the original import sitting within the triangle formed by the three postings. And a couple more postings about half a mile to the west!
So they should get 5x the points since they posted it 5 times?!???

Thank you for sharing.
What state were they in? Oh, the state of 'Confusion', of course. :)

Problem:

very hazardous road with cars parked permanently on both sides causing very narrow dangerous road in both directions with no warming. not really wrong directions however
ಠ_ಠ
Maybe tell them 'This should not be reported as a map problem. Changes to the map require many days to take effect. Use the Hazard or Closure report feature. Hazard and Closure reports take effect immediatly. '
Looks to me like a good place to report some cars on the shoulder of the road. :)

Problem:

need to add train icon fast and slow


Wasn't sure if this would be a new "vehicle" icon choice or not. :D
Looks like some re-training is needed. :)

On a lighter note, have you seen the Historic Hollywood Cemetery in Houston?

I didn't find a 'jolly roadway designer' topic and this seemed worth sharing.

Ok. What would you like for us (volunteer map editors) to do about the 'map problem' "Texas line"? It is NOT a safe place to stop and kiss the ground. :)
