[break]
Waze is a free, 100% user-generated, social navigation app that allows drivers to build
and use live maps & real-time traffic updates to improve their daily commute.
In addition to providing turn-by-turn navigation, waze also gives drivers the ability to
actively update each other on traffic, police traps, construction, speedcams and more,
reflecting a live description of the road at any given moment – and because it’s
user-generated, the more people who use it, the better (and more fun) it gets!

KEY FEATURES
* Voice guided Turn-by turn navigation
* Google Local search
* Constantly-updated road map
* Real-time traffic updates
* Automatic rerouting
* Live reports from users on the road
* Turn-by turn directions
* Road tweets - Twitter integration
* Picture sharing from the road

Here’s what users are saying about us:
* Coolest navigation app I’ve seen in a while, hope more people sign up in my area!” – L8ner
* Love this thing. I’m addicted to pacman road muching. Road01runner
* It really learns. The routes I get better routes every day. Josenovo01
* Routing could be improved, but there’s tons of potential with this app. – Mindigo

What they’re saying in the press:
CNET: "Waze is different from almost every other navigation product I've seen, but
I hope it succeeds, if only because I like the idea of a route navigation system that gets
better as more people use it.”
CNN.com: "You've gotta love it anytime masses of people come together to make
something cool. That seems to be what's happening with Waze."

GRTZ CYBER WEESJE
ADMINISTRATOR@Wckediden HIT THANKS ON THE WAY OUT

[forty01]

Hey Dash, when you get your Droid, try running it on there and then you can find out if has anything to do with location, data, and so forth. I ran this on my TP when it 1st came out and it ran w/o probs. Running it on Android has been spectacular, no problems at all. I think I mentioned this in the beginning of the thread and Roopull mentioned it again. This app is not what I use to find a location and get directions to. It can do that, but not with capabilities of other Navigation programs. However, it is a great program to communicate with your community on what the roads are looking like. If I know where I'm going, then I just run Waze and I can feel a little better about what I might run into on the way there :) I also, mentioned earlier in this thread how fast the communities are growing. I hoped on Waze from almost the beginning and I hardly saw any posts being relayed, but now it's all over the place and this program has not been out forever, but growing exponentially. Hey Roopull, with you being on the road all the time and no outlets, you can go pick up a portable charger. They run $50 or so and work great. Could be a good investment for yourself considering. I would, but that's just me ;)

Are you referring to the little chargers that run on AA batteries? If so, I have one, but only use it for emergencies.



As a side note, before long, I'll be at the top of the user rankings. :D

D/\SH, I'm thinking it's probably the ROM you're running. Wasn't that the issue, earlier?

I'm on a boring ole' stock Sprint ROM, myself.

naw it was working on mighty than stopped working and tried on all the different roms including ones people have it running on and wont work for me in my area and i know im doing it right now too... im just gonna give up on this app i think... not worth the troubles for some silly stupid points.

[forty01]

Like I said above, Dash, just try it on your Droid and then see how it runs for ya.
Naw Roopull, I'm referring to a $50 portable charger. Slightly bigger, you can charge it with AC and then get two full charges or run your phone while connected to it. Best Buy actually gave me Best Buy money for purchasing my Plasma through them and I used that to purchase my charger there. It's $50-$70, in the cell phone section. You can get it at other electronic stores, like Fry's and so forth. Good Luck to both of you.

They do and it's not like I need mine all the time, but when you do... it's there for you. For Roopull, he would live off of them based off of GPS running and nothing to charge with, lol

[roopull]

Hey, Thanks Forty01... Adding one of those chargers to my Christmas list. ha ha.

[D/\SH]

and just a little update for all, on the droid eris all day and waze actually works with it so i am happy and cant wait to get back to using this without the issues i was experiencing on my wm device.

[roopull]

We'll be expecting a thorough review! lol.
