What’s the deal with the 6/10 of a mile?

Not sure if I’m losing it but I swear every time the app gets close to a turn it will tell me “turn left in 6/10 of a mile” Never a half-mile always 6/10. Anyone else?

Help! It's all gone. 🫣

I woke up today and my entire waze is cleared!! I had 7-8 saved places, searches, everything is gone. Nothing in settings was changed, it happened overnight while I slept.

I've re​started, nothing. Is there a way to get this back without having to try to manually locate each address? Some are not readily available 🫣

Thanks! ​

Create marker "X meters behind"

I was driving, not actively using waze, when I spotted an undercover cop. I opened waze, but by the time I had pressed on the marker I was already 200-700 meters from where the cop was sitting.

Is there an option that I have missed?

Weird Spinning Bug

Is anyone else getting this in the android app?

After you do a search, if you hit a result to get a closer look on the map, then back out, my entire screen spins around.

I was absolutely taken aback

I can only assume the spin animation from the loading wheel is getting allocated to the full view?

(Repost, because I forgot to include the recording last time)

Is there any way to import the Active Speed Camera and Active Trailer Camera list into Waze?

So Queensland Government has now got public data on where they put speed camera vans and trailers

https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/active-mobile-speed-camera-sites

But I notice Waze doesn't alert you at a lot of these locations, and often there is a van or trailer there.

Is there a way to import this list into Waze and have it plot all the locations as speed cameras? Or does it have to be done manually?

Has Waze/IOS fixed battery management?

I tried Waze for about a year. The problem that made me abandon it was excessive power use. On a long trip my iPhone was getting so hot that it stopped charging and would shut down even when it was being charged by the car. The phone would get almost too hot to hold

With IOS apps battery management is crucial and Waze seemed to have the worst power control of all the apps I’ve used.

Otherwise I like the app, and might re-install if the battery management has been sorted. I’ve upgraded my phone since the last time I tried to use it.

A "phone safety feature creating riding hazard"

The problem with Google's "lowering volume to safe level" feature is causing an extremely unsafe issue for motorcycle riders needing navigation. I already take measures to protect my hearing by wearing ear plugs while I ride and need the volume I set to stay set without having to select any prompt on my phone. I can not access my phone while riding and even if I could it would still be unsafe to do so. We need this issue to be fixed immediately and to have the ability to disable this function now. Please upvote this post to get as much attention as possible. This safety feature is putting my life at risk to protect my hearing. I don't need hearing when i am dead. Thanks Google.

Is there any way that I can see how many kilometres and hours of driving I did last week on Waze? (Not by manually checking one by one.)

Alternatives?

I hope this is OK to ask here. I have used Waze for years, but am increasingly frustrated with Waze sending me on wild goose chases and even sending me to a location a block away from a friend’s house that I have used Waze to get to frequently. But most of all I’m frustrated by Waze’s insistence on routing me on major arterials rather than creatively maneuvering me around traffic, even if it means going down back roads and alleys. This is what I used to love Waze for.

Leaving aside inevitable comments about communities wanting to avoid having through traffic on their residential streets, does anyone have either advice about a setting that I can change in Waze to bring it back to its glory or a suggestion for an alternative navigation app?

Avoiding tolls vs. vignettes

I'm planning a trip through multiple countries, where each has different rules and costs of toll roads. I was under the impression that adding a vignette will be a helpful option, but it is not. Regardless of those, the only switch is toll avoidance option.

Why having "avoiding tolls" enabled is also avoiding roads which are free for me due to a vignette?

So Waze removed Wildlife as a report

I heavily think this needs to be readied for many reasons, deer being a main one, and the universe really just verified that, im a passenger in a vehicle and was trying to find out why wyze did this and as im reading on it the driver slammed on the brakes, as I look up I see two deer running across the road 😭 PLEASE READ WILDLIFE TO THE REPORTS!

I drive the fire SUV. How does it know?

The real firetruck is parked in the left lane ahead. I’ve noticed this on several occasions.

How to remove Road Closure (Street is now reopened)

There is this 1 street in our area that used to be closed due to construction. The last update was 14 days ago. Now that construction is done and the road is reopened I wanted to update it, but there seems to be no way for me to edit the thing. It just allows you to like the notification of the road closure and let you know that this notification was updated 14 days ago.
