The display of other wazers is delayed by 2-5 minutes for both security and data compression reasons.

Whenever I 'see myself' on the map, I'm always a street or two over. If you sit still for a period of time, it may be closer to your actual location.

I was wondering about that. I have seen a few users that were seemingly right on top of me and I couldnt see a car at all around me :)
