Customizable car icon

Postby brian6string » Thu Dec 29, 2011 3:53 pm

It would be cool if the little car that is on the navigation page were customizable. I drive a red car, and it would be cool if the little car on the screen could be made to match my car's color. A step further, it might be cool to have a few (or even a lot of) different vehicles to pick from. For example, truck, van, sedan, sports car. More ambitious would be to support actual vehicle make/models (I vote for 2010 Chevy Camaro!).

I love your app. Nice work, guys.

Go to "My Waze" ... select "My Profile" ... at the bottom of the screen, you can choose a different display car. :)

There you go ... when you're ready for your next two wishes, just rub the lamp again! :mrgreen:

Seriously, though, it would be nice to have more car choices than just those few, or to be able to add your own customized ones ... but the stock cars aren't too bad and cover most of the major colors, if not styles.

It would also be great if you had a tow truck. I drive one and I pick up some of the cars on the sholder of the road. Other drivers could see when a tow truck was on the sid of the road.

I'm pretty sure the car you select only shows up on your own screen :). Other wazers are shown (if enabled) as one of the little "ghost" icons you can select under "my mood".

yep. the vehicle icon that you choose does not show to other Wazers. only the Wazer icon with the mood that you select shows.

of course there is also the 'secret' Waze monster :P

I use it regularly and just wish someone would notice and chat me about it. :geek:
