USA, FRANCE, GERMANY, ITALY: The competition is sooooo tight and only 4 days to go!… Give it a last push. The winner will be one of these countries and three happy users from the winning country will soon show off their brand new ipads 
Good luck everyone and make sure to drive safe! See you next monday with the final winner announcement.
This new version consists mostly of bug fixes and clean ups, but for those of us who work hard to make it to the top weekly charts in our state there’s a cool new feature – Exclusive moods, available just to us! Exclusive moods are Gold, Silver and Bronze wazers that are open only to users that scored the highest on the weekly chart the previous week. If you were a high scorer, you’ll be driving around with this mood for an entire week.
Sunday morning, everybody’s napping and newly joined French wazers are cruising, checking out waze.
Hey Android wazers, remember the days you were the first waze users and there were only a few tens of you Androidians on waze? Well, many many more androidians are joining the waze community right now as waze is being featured on the Market.
Here’s a winner, notifying all through the chit chat
Waze reached nearly 10,000 downloads on its first day in the Italian Appstore.
. This is also an opportunity to apologize for the tech difficulties we’ve been having over the past week. We’re working tirelessly to fix them.
International users FYI – we are working on a platform that will allow you to translate waze into any language, except the UI and the Voice prompts. We’ll get it out there as quickly as possible. Upcoming version will have Spanish in it, the following will be open
to any language that the community has translated. If all goes well
In our humble attempt to take over the world one traffic lane at a time, waze is proud to announce today that we’ve gone global! Wazers from all around the world are now able to use our platform to build crowdsourced maps, 100% from scratch. In fact, in certain countries with no base map, users will literally be building maps from scratch – paving the roads entirely themselves, as they drive…
Already, driving communities have organically formed in over 20 countries around the globe, including Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Thailand, Kazakhstan, and Trinidad Tobago – and people have even begun map editing their regions online at world.waze.com.
The funny part is that even before we opened up the platform for international use, we’d see wazers in clusters on the map in areas with no waze support, self-organizing to check out what we have to offer. In fact, in Singapore, the highway grid was mapped in just a few days by a handful of active users! We thought it was a pretty amazing thing to see, so we decided to formally open waze to users, worldwide, so everyone can enjoy crowdsourced maps and, eventually, free navigation, turn-by-turn directions + an improved daily commute.
Help us spread the word to your friends in far away places – the more wazers on the road, the more everyone benefits!
