, I get "Some data in this area is bad and cannot be modified. Please
report this error with a link to this page. Bad data (Road Section
Inconsistent) has been found ..."

Errors like this have existed for several months. And Google, have you
still not figured out how to display a simple piece of text completely
without truncating it with "..."?

Issues:

1. Bad data should never be allowed to exist.
2. Do not say "report this" without linking to a place where this
should be reported.
3. What exactly is "link to this page"? This is not obvious.
4. In fact, the reporting should automatically happen internally, with
all the relevant information included, probably in a format more
useful to Google than user-generated error reports.
5. Display error messages fully!


Most of these issues have been reported long long ago, and it's
frustrating to see that even issues like 2,3,5 have not been fixed.

Hi,
That error should be rectified now.
However, could you also post the suggestions about the error messages
on the Issue tracker.

Thanks & Regards,
