[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1793352, member: 396914"] On the Waze screen is an orange circle with what looks like a speech cloud from cartoons inside. Tap that and you will have a whole set of things you can report. Tap the one you want to report and more options appear. It's pretty logical. Waze isn't listening to you, it gets the speed from the GPS and reports it back to the mothership so that it can use that data (along with other Waze data) to plan the best routes for you. In addition, when Waze starts up, it should report on how many Wazers are around you. I'm not sure how big the circle is for "around" you, but in my town of about 25,000 residents, I routinely see about 2500 Wazers, which tells me the radius is pretty large. And when it reports something, let's say a vehicle stopped on the side of the road, if you see it, you can confirm it's still there by tapping the thumbs up icon, or report it not there by tapping the other icon on the reporting screen. Wazers do appreciate the updates. I've gotten thanks from some when I've reported stopped traffic, for example. [/QUOTE]
