More Specific Error Messages
Specific error messages are very useful, and we can use more of them.
Here are some recent cases I have run across where it would be helpful to have a more-specific error message
RPP too far from identical HN (zoom out if necessary to highlight the HN location)
RPP too far from recently-deleted HN; try again after HN update. (zoom out to highlight the former HN location)
Improper restricted turn in JB (show and highlight the specific turn arrow which is the problem). Allow the turn and try again (https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=276336&p=1922955#p1922761)

Hey!
Hey!
Thank you very much for this suggestion.
Detailed Error messages are part of the planned idea of the WME dev team these days.
We will keep you updated with any updates
Best,

The recommendation should also provide helpful advice to the editor on how to resolve the issue. "Check and try again" is not helpful.

Although the error messages on save do now contain some detail, they don't highlight which change triggered the error. If you have about 60 changes, it's very frustrating to either delete them all and try again, or delete one at a lime and try saving each time. Depending what the error is, it may be that when you find the cause of the error you wouldn't want to have saved up to that point.

100% behind this! The messages like 'Oops! It looks like someone else changed one or more map objects you edited before you saved' are maddening in their lack of detail.
