Hey Y’all – just a quick head’s up that a new iPhone version dropped today. Here’s what it includes:

- A ‘report abuse’ feature - the community’s growing and there’s many interactions taking place. As can be expected, there’s always some people who take advantage of the system, so we’re enabling users to flag inappropriate users. Above a certain number of reports by different users, a user will automatically be disabled from pinging.
- An improved, and much better‐looking navigation bar - allowing bigger texts and ETA.
- Auto-update your Facebook status – just like what we do for Twitter. In the future, we’ll use Facebook Connect for many cool features such as showing your friends on the scoreboard, etc. – so stay tuned to the blog for more information, as we have it…
- Adding street name & house numbers from client – note that this feature is available in Grid countries only, and will be developed later for additional purposes.
- Spread the word – We need as many wazers as we can on board and we need your help to spread the word, so we’ve added the ability to invite your Facebook friends (in the future we’ll enable showing your friends in the client) to waze and to let you review waze on both the Appstore and Chomp, a great new app for user reviews of iPhone apps.


That’s about it this time around. Make sure you hop over to the Appstore and update waze so you’ll be running with the newest version next time you hit the road…

I have now updated to the new version of ” Waze “, & now it doesn’t login, nor does it even find or use my GPS.?? – I have the iPhone 3G, v3.12
- The current version of Waze ( 1.8.0.2 ) doesn’t work correctly for me.?
* The OLD version of Waze ( 1.7.0.0 ) Work’s Beautifully.! <<—— Yes.!
** Can someone send me the OLD version of Waze please.? – It's the only 1 that works.!
So how do you calculate ETAs? Assume it is based on posted speeds for roads along your route but how reliable will it be without factoring in traffic? If actuall speeds of wazers are used, how reliable is my ETA if only a few wazers have been traveling roads on my route?
Hey Joe, It does factor road type, real time traffic (from users) and historic traffic. As you suggest, the more people will drive it the more accurate it will get. What are you experiencing? how accurate is the ETA you are getting?
[...] launched a new iPhone version this week with some new [...]
So far, the ETA has been fairly accurate for me. It’s been accurate to within 3-5 minutes for my 30 mile commute.
