To make use of the feature, customers need to tap on the ‘+’ within a speech bubble visible at the lower left corner of the navigation display. This will bring up an ‘Add a report’ menu with the alternatives of adding either a collision event or a rate trap.

It’s a convenient feature to have, although no-one on TechRadar’s Australian group has actually seen the update yet, either on Android or iphone. It’s feasible that the interactive feature is currently being presented to Aussie users as well as we ought to see it in the coming days. 

However, Ausdroid likewise reports that adding an occurrence report or a speed camera area doesn’t show the icons for other customers, so we may need to await even more individuals to begin registering the events for the feature to work.
