Testing Waze in Tarakan Island, Indonesia.



No 3G totally rely on GPS, precache map and wifi. As you can see from the snapshot my phone is on airplane mode. I don't want it to log on into global roaming.

You cannot navigate without internet because the map is downloaded as and when needed. Like Bro Alyem said, the Live informations is excellence. I guess precache means one have to exactly follow its route or else you with have a waze opening page only without the route map.

how to do the map caching? Just downloaded the Android app to try it out..Easy community report and update will really help to speed thing up..

[alyem]

Alyem, I find it hard to believe you turn it off after checking traffic info. Because you said your rank is 600.

That need some real serious usage.

When I started using, I can contribute on Naming the road. With the new version Waze, I need to log in into Waze site to contribute.

Now I just check in for Traffic info. Contribute a few traffic to mantain my rank.
Today check.. my rank drop to 659.

now i understand... 3g for downloaded map.. my telco give 1G data monthly and get slow connection when reach max data and no extra charge..(no issue here)
difficult to locate exact destination
good when routing coz have traffic info
map detail
kuat makan battery.. jahanam battery iphone aku (sentiasa charging dalam kereta)

This to answer hmaxx too.

To precache a map if you do not have 3G is, get in to a wifi zone (maybe your home) and do a "Navigate to" key in the keyword let say "London" it will show london and just maximise the screen and wait it will precache London and surrounding area, just scroll around to precache the entire British Isle if you want.

Once you are in London, you just open up Waze in airplane mode, with only GPS on and use it. No live traffic but you get Nav.

Obviously you don't need to go to London and try, have a go locally.. Precache as mention, set your phone not to receive Data or in Airplane mode and try to Navigate.

Example of Precache over Wifi Navigation in airplane mode done in Tarakan, Indonesia.

This is a screen shots taken on their live map at 11:35pm 05 Feb 2012. All this user are live online and plotting and checking the base map via 3G, can you imagine how quick it will be corrected with all these user.

These is only small parf of KL.

Below is a simple tracklog that I did earlier today, which was uploaded to their website via 3G/Wifi and into my account as my tracklog. I am allow to edit within 1km from these log.

A lot has been done to malfree over the years until its difficult to get a fresh place to plot. This software open up the fun all over again. The editor will allow you to even mark POI.

bro,

bro,

Track log are automatically recorder once you switches waze on, it will track. What you need to do is :

On Waze select Setting --> Help --> Send Log it will send the Track or any Pave to Waze server that you could open online and do editing.

You can also refresh map your area (where you are now) by select Setting --> Advance --> Data Transfer --> Refresh Map My Area.

But its best to do all above over wifi.



Above is what it looks like in my account.

No need to Send Log, it's done automatically.
