I had to force close the app and relaunch it, and say ok when it asked to resume an interrupted navigation.
It's hard to see, but there's a pale X in the upper right corner of that box.

This is also controlled server-side. The app will display what the server tells it to.
Sorry, I'm a bit dense. What do you mean by this? Does it mean that it's dependent on how many Wazers post reports on congestion?

Anyone else getting URs or other indications of GPS location problems? An especially bad experience last night, with the map positioning me blocks away, rotating around as if it forgot my travel direction, etc.

Restarting the app (following a reboot of the iPhone) fixed it. But this seemed out of the ordinary to me. Does the app actually require occasional phone rebooting in order to maintain stability? Or is something unusual going on at the back end?

Thanks! That makes sense. Just one of those limitations of the device GPS, I guess.

Anyone else getting irregular events radius results in traffic reports? Something 6,000 miles off is quite a leap:

Been having an intermittent issue with the nav voice dropping the street names. It's the standard voice that's checked off in my settings (Samantha, including street names). She just doesn't announce the streets for a while -- usually at the beginning of a drive. A few minutes later the names kick back in.

There doesn't seem any indication of network problems in the app. When the red no-network message appears on the top, sometimes I'll get the substitute "generic" voice that does not give street names. But this is a new one. just wondered if anyone else experienced this.

No problem with performance, but lot's of old bugs and issues...

-> App stay dimmed after a popup
-> No option to disable the Autolearn routes feature
-> Menue scrolls, even if this isn't necessary, for exampfe the Hazard-Shoulder-Menu with 3 entries (it's much hader to select a entry while driving, if the screen scrolls away)
-> Multiple Terms of service messages

This is controlled server-side, so of course there would be no relation to client version making it re-appear.
Can't believe that... Of course the function itself uses data from the server, but the option to enable or disable this function is clientside.
The option disappeard with the installation of the 3.7.6 client, on another phone I use an older version and it works properly:
