[incorrect]You can also just hit "Later" (or let Waze do it itself through the time-out) and then you just get a little icon floating on the side of the map until you are stopped and able to enter the details. When I see a UR like this, I assume the reporter didn't know about "Later" and explain it to them.[/incorrect]

My bad: Apparently this never did work for Map Issues, although it does work for Hazards and Closures among other kinds of reports. This is a weird omission, but evidently it is a long-standing feature request.

First they'd have to actually find an example of one that's actually been marked.
If they were any good at reading comprehension, they wouldn't have posted the original UR in the first place. What makes you think their skills are suddenly going to improve? :D

Problem: this is called Solana Rd on all the signs.

Hi, I'm a volunteer Waze map editor. What name is Waze showing you for the road that should be called Solana Rd?

Reporter on May 07, 2014
Intersection of Solana and Goodlette-Frank in Naples FL has Burning Tree as name of Solano on east side of intersection, and directions to get to Royal Poinciana Golf say to turn right onto Burning Tree. But all signage is Solano, even after making the turn. The Solano segment needs to be extended eastward. Tried to report it at the time but wound up sending from NY a few days later.
A mere 1,318 miles away from the source of the problem. And I'm sure there was no way anyone could possibly be confused about what "this" meant. :lol:

Hi, I'm a volunteer Waze map editor. Can you provide any details about the map issue you reported on the Outer Loop at Gallows Rd?

Reporter on June 24, 2014
I don't care
Possible response: Neither do I, now.
