Is there some clever way of entering events better than touching the screen? I find that I often can't deal with the phone the second I see a hazard/construction/speed trap but would like to at least "register" it so I can send it off a few minutes later. Same for confirming alerts from others, I find that I can't verify an alert until I get to the location, and at that point I only have about 200 feet until the option goes away.
