Nice! The interface looks cool. But I can't seem to get it working. I tested submitting reports but I can't add an address nor a point. There are no reports generated (probably my poor internet connection). A couple of questions: 1. Do I need a google account to submit reports? 2. Is it possible to "close/fix" a report? Other than that, the design is excellent especially when we can aggregate other info. A major plus factor to google is the aerials, even when there is no roads we can at least pinpoint a location by looking at the imagery.
