Agreed. Specially here in Brazil many areas (including urban ones) have problems with signals. I already lost too many important traffic alerts due to missing signals that could be registered and sent right after network returns. Since Waze marks the spot where the alert is sent from, it should be able to register and wait for a maximum of 5 minutes until data transfer is back to publish the alert. The 5 or 10 minutes tolerance should be enough to find network and avoid obsolete warnings. If in that time a signal is not found, then the alert expires preventing possibly old alerts from appearing.

Title pretty much says it all.

I find it almost pointless to submit errors because the app wants info right then and 99.9% of the time I'm still driving and need the submission page out of my way. Then, by the time I hear back from someone for additional detail, I've long forgotten exactly what the issue was...especially if there were multiple issues in a day.

Of all the things that should have a later button, I would think map issues would be the top priority. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get why there's a later button for all of the things that benefit from an immediate report (accidents, police, traffic, hazards), but not for the one thing that requires more than a couple of button taps.

I love the app, but find it awkward inputting "reports" while driving. It's a bit dangerous to take my eyes off the road several times in order to locate the multiple places to touch the screen. Instead, I usually just preadd Police, press "later" and let it "bounce on the left side until I need it. This is much easier, but still not ideal.

Could the developers preadd icons to the right and left edges for the most common reports? This space is wasted now and these icons would make it much safer.

Suggestions: Something like "car on side of the road" icons on both the right and left side would be helpful - touch the right icon when it's on the right and the left icon for cars on the left. Add a Police icon on a side. Add a construction icon that you'd touch at the start and end of a construction zone. etc.

Yes, yes, "Please try again later" is not a valid option. It shows the lazyness of the programmers. Heck, all data is available, let waze do the uploading, I don't care when, and how. I will not stay there, and re-report it, I will keep going, so there is no second chance for manual report!

I would like to b able to report an incident anywhere and anytime on the map. For instance, if I pass an accident and am not able to report it or I just forget, I'd like to be able to report it at that location later. I'm on an iPhone.

My suggestion is to record and store alerts when/if we are out of network or not in 3G to push automaticly when we are online again so no missing alerts

Waze simply needs a robust report queuing system, where every report is stored and the client then sends it out when it can.
This way, Waze can
a) stop obscuring the map while it is sending, which can take time with poor reception,
and b) avoid this non-sense of "Please try again later".

I don't believe that Wazers need the instant gratification of seeing points rewarded immediately on hitting "Send".

Sometimes I need to set a flag for camera or for error and I cannot do it because there is no internet in the current location

If you have something to report and your phone has lost data, as happens, you cannot retrospectively report the traffic, police, etc. at a previous point.

Users should be able to flag reports (hazard, speedcam, map issues) when offline to send later. If you are online you have the ability to "send later", but you're offline (when you really need that feature) you cannot.
This goes in line with other requests for "save offline data and upload later".

This definitely needs addressing. What point is the "please try again later" message? If I'm on a two hour journey and report a police presence, an hour or so later I'm not going to remember where I was to report it again. As previously mentioned, waze should temporarily store the report until signal is regained and then post it.

On urban streets waze works just fine, but on interstates you don't have constant signal all the time, and happened to me that many times I couldn't report and accident or a situation because of weak signal, and you just get a message "Sorry, No network connection report it later" but I might be miles down the road when I get 3G signal again, and it wouldn't be relevant to report it in the wrong location.

I would like to suggest a implementation that just let you to report and select all the details even when offline as you would do when online. And send it, if the upload fails, stack it including the location when you reported it and postpone the report and upload it as soon as you get connection again. The postponed report would have a expiration time of let's say 20 minutes, if waze couldn't be able to upload it in that time, just dismiss it because it may be outdated.

I think it would be great to see a retry option when you get the communication failed message when trying to report an event. This always occurs when my phone is switching from 3g to 4g or visa versa. This would allow users to resend the event faster rather than having to go back through the menus.

One feature you REALLY need is the ability to query and alert if there's no data/network connection. There's been times when I've tried to submit a report but couldn't because I didn't have a network connection. It would be a good idea for Waze to acknowledge I don't have a network connection, query the report, and submit it as soon as a network connection is present.

waze now allows this but ONLY ONE report

it should allow multiple queued

AND THEN NOT squelch users for rapid submissions

I have this issue too, particularly in one rather dangerous mountain pass. I cannot report dangerous conditions (i.e., stopped vehicles...there are no shoulders) or accidents because I don't have a network connection. My connection isn't re-established until I'm about five miles away. Also, on a recent trip to Lake Havasu there were many stretches without cellular coverage...and I couldn't report anything.

It would be great feature if can focus on driving in a hot situation and can report it later. Eg. reporting potholes or other dangers after bypassed them and can report them in safe way (eg. 100-300 meters later).

Does Waze take our speed whether we report or not? It could notice everyone's taking an hour to travel a 10 min no-signal road & do it that way, bypassing the 'there's no signal' problem.
