So what do I tell the reporter? You need glasses?

LOL - though I'm not entirely sure how it's the app's fault that the reporter can't see the gas station presumably right next to his/her car (given the location of the UR pin) as he/she made the report....

Oh, ok, I get it now! lol - Sorry about that! We need an emoticon for "dense."

I think the above more falls under the "Jolly Editors" topic.

But yea, someone sure loves their parking lots. lol

Update Request: General error
I'm sitting at the Conoco gas station off I-10 West, off Exit 80. When I tried to validate the prices, Wazer gave me an error message saying it could not find any gas stations, [etc]

I can't edit that location since it's outside of my editable areas (and since it's outside of my editable area, I can't see the actual URs so I hunted around and found what looked to be the most likely location). However, something I noticed:

The landmark for the gas station on Rue Ln & Egan Hwy (which is where the Conoco is) is nearby and isn't covering the station area itself. Just a minor detail, but one you might want to take care of so it shows on the app properly.

I did, however, notice that Google Maps did not have its primary category as "Gas Station" - it had it as "Truck Stop," with "Gas Station" as one of the services that it offers. I logged into my Google Mapmaker account and submitted a change to reverse that and make "Gas Station" the primary. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that's why Waze isn't seeing it as a nearby gas station. Once that change has been accepted by Google Maps, that station should be findable when doing a "report gas prices" in the app. This is, of course, assuming that whether or not "Gas Station" being the primary classification matters to Waze or not - for all I know, I could have just spent a bunch of time for nothing.

HTH!

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info.

So, I guess that means I spent a bunch of time in Mapmaker for nothing. Oh well, it was a good exercise, anyway.

Unmarked yield sign
Submitted 6 days ago

How do I mark a yield sign?

You don't. Stop signs, stop lights, yield signs, etc., are all outside the scope of Waze.

Oh, come one! You guys are really interrupting my train of thought with all these comments!

I recently got one that said:

Problem: too much traffic

I'm thinking, "Well, what do you expect ME to do about it?"
