Allow the ability to specify the location of a report.
When reporting an issue, crash, traffic jam, fire, Police activity, the system only gives you the option to report on the road you are on. So for example, if you are at an interchange where you can see the activity on a highway or interstate, but you are not on that road, you can't actually report it properly. Maybe it can be set up that you make a report, and like in google maps, you have a pin dropped on the map that you can move to the correct location, if where you are is not the location of the activity. Example: look at Cromwell Park Drive, Glen Burnie, MD on google maps. You will see that there is an interchange where I-97 passes by. You can see the activity on the highway, even if you are not on it.

When report a blocked route I need to inform it off site because I drive and I am busy at that time.
Please let me in form it off site.
Other person can later on report a mistake if is it. -

Still no answer from the product team? This feature is essential.

Estaría bueno que a futuro se pueda indicar reportes de cierres o modificaciones desde la app independientemente de si uno abandona la zona. En mi caso, en el interior nos puede pasar que hasta que “lleguemos a casa a una PC a enviar este reporte” pueden pasar horas o días, mientras tanto los demás conductores siguen sin poder contar con ese reporte. Se pierde la instantaneidad de la info que es lo más valioso de Waze. Muchas gracias.

Terrible that I could not notify once I have passed! If I am being checked by police, I will not have my phone in my hand ... I could easily place it on the map once I have passed but the app does not allow for it! Really terrible!

make it easy to report and for a location that you just passed. it's not always possible to mark at the exact location while driving

Need to add this. I wanted to report a crash once I was safely parked, but it doesnt allow for that?

This is absolutely ridiculous that they haven't fixed this issue yet. Its been out for a while and people have been saying it since Waze first came out, are the DEVS even working on Waze or have they quite? Why don't you guys change the app to what the people want? This is nonsensical.

I agree with most posters here, this is a vital addition for many reasons. Please add it to an already fantastic app!

Perhaps that could be an option, but it shouldn't be the only way of doing it. It's one thing for me to tap a couple big buttons on the screen while driving (I have my phone on a dash mount, so I can do it while still keeping an eye on the road, and it's less of a distraction than messing with the radio). But to look at a map and try and figure out the exact spot something is would be too distracting. It doesn't have to be perfect, but placing it like I suggested would make it a lot more accurate than it already is. A better way to do it based on your suggestion would be to allow other drivers to correct the position, so somebody driving could report it and have it be close enough, but somebody riding as a passenger could come by and move it to a more accurate location.

That is the totally ass backwards solution to a broken reporting system.
I agree with you 100% but instead, why not just let people specify the exact position where the thing is! Then you wouldn't have to try and figure out which position is correct, based on which user managed to get his phone out in time (or turned his car around to get an exact position report) or another user wouldn't have to go back and fix something that the OP could have just been more precise with to begin with
If everyone could just touch the map where the report should go, none of this would be an issue!

The current reporting is a joke. It is useless in cities or heavily urban areas.
You may get the report to within half mile IF you have your phone in your hand AND you have waze loaded up. God forbid you see something down a cross street- what are you supposed to alter your route and go miles out of your way to report this thing after you get close enough to it?
Waze is only truly accurate in rural areas where there is only one street you could possibly be on at a time.

I want to log something from another location. I can't and won't log an accident or a cop at the time while driving. After I get parked I want to log it. So I refuse to use this app.

It would be nice in a future release if you could give the user the ability to input an event (ex. Police sighting or road closure) from not in traffic in real time.
Drivers are not always able to tap through the menu and input detailed info during their commute.

I will never understand why Waze wants us to play with our phones while we drive! The most irritating is that you can't report map issues u less you are moving! This needs to be done parked.

Steven commented
Also, allow people to not only thumbs up a hazard but also adjust its position.

There should be an option to go back and report something along your route because while I'm driving, it's not possible to do that all the time.

Algunas veces no es posible marcar un sitio que presenta un incidente, ya sea por la necesidad de prestar atención al tránsito como porque dicho incidente nos impide acercarnos al sitio en cuestión.
Debería ser posible agregar en el mapa los detalles de la alerta, una vez que ya no se está conduciendo. Esto implica que no debe importar el estado o indicación que dé el GPS del móvil. (Lo he intentado mediante el “editor de mapa”, pero mi nivel -1- no me permite hacerlo)Sometimes it is not possible to mark a site that has an incident, either because of the need to pay attention to traffic or because that incident prevents us from approaching the site in question.
It should be possible to add the alert details on the map once it is no longer being driven. This implies that you should not import the status or indication given by the GPS of the mobile. (I've tried it by the "map editor", but my level -1- does not allow me to do it) -

Buenos días,
Seria posible ádicionar un comando que permita colocar iconos (policía, accidentes y demas), sin necesidad de geo localizador automatico, pues las veces se desea colocar una alerta pero entre accionar los comandos y la velocidad del vehículo en el que nos transportamos, perdemos la precisión de ubicación de la alerta.
Dese ya muchas gracias por la atención.
Muy buena aplicación y muy útil.
Atte.
