As noted in this thread and elsewhere, mute now mutes all.

Yes. There appears to be (another) disconnect between the badge count and inbox count.

Okay, I can understand that, but what about the other part of the problem which is that the slowdown is reported on a side street and not the actual street? The "Spaniel Ct" in the reports is not where the slowdown was. This has been reported by others more than once recently.

And you are still out of luck. They can only add/update device information once per year. Next update is, I believe, around September.

If it's not doing that, it's telling me to drive in circles...
The routing server seems to be strongly preferring to get us very close to our final destination, then routing to the stop point, then back to the final destination again. They need to work on this.

Alan, do you know if this was added to the list of open items? (Don't currently have access.) I see this a lot and I can add some examples if we need more.
I believe so.

EDIT: Yes, line 169.

Here are more examples of jams being reported on streets connected to the jammed street. These were not on my route, but I was able to easily find these by going to the Traffic Reports.

Cirrus Dr continues to the left and connects to Hall Blvd which is where the jam is showing as starting.

Jam reported on 152nd, but really is on Farmington Rd.

Jam reported on 121st, but really is on Walker Rd.

I don't think the label is actually on the other street, but is "floating" in the wrong spot. I've seen this happen once and have a screenshot as well, but wanted to see it happen again, which it hasn't for me. I'll attach it now.

Here's an example of a jumbled screen. Too many objects in a small space. We need some more design thought put into how to decided not to show some elements/objects so things are easier to see.

There's wazers, red light cams, two ads and street labels trying to use the same space.
