Wazers out there wazing…it’s a beautiful thing. Only just a few months ago when we first launched, you’d be hard-pressed to find tons of people using waze in California’s Bay Area – and look at us now! Above are screenshots taken by a member of our team yesterday showing all the activity that was happening on the road. We’re really happy to see all of you out there – and with many with different moods, no less! Keep on keepin’ on, Wazers. You’re doing us proud. :-)

New Iphone Version Now Live on The Appstore

Friday, September 18th, 2009

This version includes changes and fixes based on comments, suggestions and bugs reported by V1 wazers.

  • Improved UI:  Top buttons are now clickable and GPS and network reception is clearer. Map controls can appear on tap, are more transparent, and zoom in and out were moved to the top left and right corners.
  • Voice prompts were added to navigation. We’ll add more voices in near future. We are also planning on having user recorded prompt… stay tuned for the ‘waze  Voiceoff contest’ coming up soon.
  • The majority of the bugs reported were fixed.

We’re planning a very frequent release schedule. In a previous post we gave a sneak preview to some of the next version’s features
