yup, in most of those color schemes either some type of road blends in with the background, or two types of roads look the same .. or both. maybe a color picker could get incorporated into the menu? (sorry, i know this isn't the suggestions thread..)

Android version 1.5.2.4 is released and can be downloaded from

http://tiny.cc/1524

Fixed:

* Alerts list sorting crash
* 3D crash

Note we are going to put it in the market in a few hours.
Regarding the menu, we will see about enabling an option to set the old mode. This mode was done to be Android UI compatible but I understand the issue of additional clicks.
Regarding the colors, we will look into more schemes, problem is that the jam colors are already red,yellow,orange (and we didn't put green as well) so we are running out of colors.

Hi,

thanks for the updates, which come pretty fast. Great to see there is always improvement. What about the landscape mode switch? Is there any way the program can disable it in the near future?

There seems to be a limit of 4 MB on the SD card for the entire directory. Is there a way the program can cache more data, maybe some option in the preferences? What's the map.cache option for, should it be increased to run smoother?

Tried to use Waze on my ride home from work today but the app was very laggy and it kept saying seems you gotten of route but i was traveling on the route. This was on my moto droid running the 2.0.1 software, not rooted, not moded.... almost seemed like it needed way to much memory to work right. Please help so i can get back to wazing.

It didn't crash until it had run for 10 hours and around 350 km.
Don't know why it crashed since I didn't look at it at the moment, but it was inside a very long tunnel.

Other than that it worked fine, no problems except for the Volume control settings, the day/night light and the automatic night mode.

For me this is a big improvement, all the other 1.5.2 beta versions have crashed around 5 times over this time/distance.
And the same goes for the market version before the first 1.5.2 beta.

In fact I am so impressed that I will stress test it during this weekend, maybe I can go back to using only one phone, and don't have to bring my Nokia to make calls with.

Have been running for 24 hours straight while I have been at home, and using my phone for everything else as I do normally. Seems to be a very good and stable version :)
