Q: What does WAD mean? A: Work As Designed.

                           Cartouche
Status Region Problem Example / image
Open All House numbers do not become indexable (i.e., turn blue in Cartouche) in a majority of instances after approval by area manager. This occurs when the added numbering is logical (e.g., when even numbers are on one side of the street and odds on the other) and in the case of a single house number on a street. Therefore, it is not because of the illogical number algorithm (e.g., a check to make sure that evens and odds are not on the same side of street) that Cartouche can use to override approval.
Open All "approve all marked" in pending deletions window non functional.
Solved All "Enable all turns" only partially enables all turns
Open All "remove junction" Will sometimes not merge the two segments. Best workaround found so far is to make sure connectivity is good in both direction before using this feature. Alternative workaround is to use the bridge above/below to merge the segments first, then remove node UPDATE 4/8/10: Seems to work sometimes now, but still might not merge, or if it does might change connectivity of the "newly" created segment.
Open All "Phantom" turn restrictions. When viewing turn restriction layer, "phantom" restrictions may show. These turn restrictions are normally associated with road segments or nodes that no longer exist. This is classified as a low priority problem since it does not effect routing. Some people have had success removing these by delete/recreate the road segment near the "phantom" restriction.
Open All Cannot connect segments of a roundabout with segments leading to the roundabout

Open All Edit road geometry misbehaves after moving intersection. Workaround is to edit the geometry of a road that connects to the intersection. Moving the end of the road, will move the intersection, and all other attached roads.
Open All Wrong average speed shown in traffic jam report, on the client view. (Bigger then the segment speed limit).
WAD World Edit geometry on new (red) roads results in "Street does not exist."
WAD World Phantom map problems / map problems that were solved in the past show up on the cartouche. The scan problems will be removed once you hit refresh (from the layers panel, next to the map problems layer box)

OPEN IPhone 1.8.0.2 Routing before it gets a GPS signal When using the iphone client version 1.8.0.2, as soon as waze is turned on, it gives you a route, even though it haven't got a a GPS signal yet, therefor giving an error notice.
