With this type of automatic error, you need to check further down the route the user(s) did take as another turn (or series of turns) they took could be incorrect, or even segments with the wrong direction.

The images sometimes stay onscreen like this between 3-10 seconds, which is way too long. It's as if WME code changed as well as caching algorithms as the road layer image loading is very poor now. Before the Dec 19 release, this type of image was almost never seen. Now, it's every zoom. And, this was never tested in beta. Please stop releasing untested code.
I keep getting images that look like someone spray painted the roads on. Any redrawing after a major zoom in or zoom out takes forever and often requires a reload just to get things to load.
I haven't had to reload, but am experiencing the same "spray paint" effect, and not smooth zooming.

Waze recommends a turn where this is no street on the map. So there are no turn restrictions to address. How do I deal with this?
Some of these are using (very) old data right now. There may have been a problem there before, but it has already been fixed.

When creating a landmark, the address is automatically populated, HOWEVER it is not saved when the landmark is saved even if you click edit & apply for the address. You have to save the landmark, which then appears with no address, THEN edit the address, then save again.

OK, I spoke too soon, sometimes the address field doesn't populate AT ALL (Country & State blank with no options in the dropdowns). A refresh is required.

BUG:

Can't exit Alt Names when the "No Street" checkbox is marked. The alt names don't appear when the edit button is clicked, but do when just in display mode.

I've found that if you grab the sticky node again & move it it becomes a regular geometry node, which you can then undo & it ends up back in the correct spot.

What browser are you using? (Chrome is preferred, FireFox works, & IE is NOT supported, but seems to work with the Chrome Frame installed)

If that doesn't help, what country are you located in?

How many users have to ignore a recommended route to bring up this new "UR"? Yesterday I for example saw 6 users causing this UR.
Sometimes I set my starting point as destination to listen to the voice-prompts to report some map issues which I wouldn't have gotten aware of routing to my real destination. Especially a lot of turn restrictions and one ways were discoverd.
This way of seeing more potential map failures is surely influencing the "ignored route URs".
Should change my behaviour - it's a pitty from map quality's point of view?!

I spent a bit of time earlier today going through the automated route deviation errors in my editable area. Most of them were errors that had already been fixed (routing onto alleys that were probably set as Service Road instead of Parking Lot or incorrect 1-way/2-way roads). I did, however come across more than one that needed to be fixed so can see this being useful once the reports from old data are cleared.
