Hah!

The one in Covington, though? I just fixed that a couple weeks ago! The Google marker is in the right place now...
The wandering, unloved tractor supply seems to have drawn this report north of Baker, La. :)

Android I assume because he is running Bovine. :lol:

Sounds like someone gave her a bum steer.

response to a 'general error' with no other information (after I requested more information):
I don't remember reporting anything.
Maybe THAT explains a lot of the 'unexplained URs'!

Amnesia.

After several rounds of question/answer in trouble shooting a 'wrong driving directions'
I'm sorry - the issue is operator error. I actually had my office set as
my home and not my home set as home. It explains it all. Sorry!!
to which I responded:
:)
No problem. Thanks for helping me clear up the problem.
We (volunteer map editors) do this because we enjoy solving problems and helping people.
Thank you for giving me an unusual problem to solve.

Problem: FM 1960 is for Farm to Market 1960 not Federated states of Micronesia
Reported on: April 24
[searches for FM 1960 or fm 1960 in the report area seem to work properly, and no, the report was NOT posted from the middle of the ocean, it was in Houston. :) ]

EDIT: I did NOT listen to the TTS, just looked at the routing. My bad! Thanks for the PM, PvilleT.

When I had an abusive reporter on a UR, I asked the Regional Manager/WAZE CHAMP what to do.

He told me he reported it to WAZE and they permanently disabled the reporter's account from posting URs.

I got the impression that it was best NOT to further engage such a reporter but to let WAZE handle it.

Problem: Occidental Dr. doesn't have a street sign.
Reported on: yesterday

bz2012 on May 14, 2014
If you were on Occidental Dr when you started the report, I can put the name on the street. However, I can NOT put up a street sign.

Reporter on May 14, 2014
Lol I'm sorry. That's what I meant. I apologize.

bz2012 on May 15, 2014
No need to apologize. :) We (volunteer map editors) can only fix problems with the maps. Sometimes drivers seem to think we can fix other things. I just needed to make sure I understood your request correctly. The street name has been applied.
Thanks for all the WAZE you help with your reports.

Perhaps last time they got lost. [strong drink can make things like that happen]

Problem: The map navigator told me to go straight when the road actually change from shepherd to veterans memorial . the map outline the correct directions but the text didn't describe the turn to the left.
Reported on: May 13

bz2012(5) on May 29, 2014
It only describes a turn when you are faced with needing to choose between roads. In this case, the driver is expected to follow the road as it curves, without any directions.
It was difficult, but I refrained from ending it "...directions, STUPID!"
