Waarschuwing
Deze pagina is nuttig, maar heeft veel updates nodig. Je kunt helpen, of je kunt wachten, want het gaat binnenkort onderhanden genomen worden.
Dit Help-bestand beschrijft de waze touch-screen versie. Er kunnen kleine verschillen zijn tussen de versies voor verschillende telefoons, maar de meeste functies zien het zelfde eruit en werken hetzelfde.
Starten van Waze en het creëren van een account
Om het programma te openen - druk op het Waze pictogram op de telefoon. Als je een nieuwe gebruiker bent, krijg je een welkomstbericht en een verzoek om de gebruiksvoorwaarden van Waze te accepteren. Klik op de knop Accepteren om in Waze te blijven, of de knop Afwijzen om het programma te verlaten. Als je hebt ingestemd met de voorwaarden voor het gebruik, zal je de volgende formulier krijgen om je account aan te maken.
Je wordt gevraagd om een gebruikersnaam, een wachtwoord, je emailadres en eventueel een Waze bijnaam te verstrekken. Als je verkiest om geïdentificeerd te Wazen, wordt je bijnaam gebruikt om je te identificeren op de kaart en in de rapporten die je verzendt. (Je kan in je profiel bepalen in hoeverre je wenst te worden geïdentificeerd - zie de sectie Instellingen).
- Druk op de eerste regel van het formulier (username) en er verschijnt een virtueel toetsenbord.
- Vul hier de gewenste gebruikersnaam in. (Opgelet! De gebruikersnaam is hoofdletter gevoelig.) Als je een gebruikersnaam gekozen hebt, druk je op volgende.
- Vul nu je gewenste wachtwoord in.
- Nadat je het volledige formulier op deze manier hebt ingevuld, krijg je een overzicht van de gegevens te zien. (Het wachtwoord wordt weergegeven als 5 sterretjes).
- Als deze informatie klopt, druk je op 'Create'.
Nadat je account is aangemaakt, word je gevraagd om aan te loggen. Dit hoeft maar 1 keer. Waze zal je wachtwoord nu voortaan onthouden. Je zult alleen nog een keer hoeven aan te loggen als:
- de gewenste gebruikersnaam al in gebruik is.
- je een gebruikersnaam gebruikt, die op een ander toestel is aangemaakt en je een vergissing hebt gemaakt bij het aanloggen.
Je krijgt dan de melding 'wrong login'.
Om je wachtwoord te veranderen, dien je aan te loggen op world.waze.com. Indien je je gebruikersnaam wenst te wijzigen, dien je eerst aan te loggen op de waze.com site om daar je gebruikersnaam wijzigen. Nadien kan je je telefoon updaten.
- Iemand anders, die een andere telefoon gebruikt, is aangelogd met je account. In dat geval zal je geen foutboodschap ontvangen, maar je internet connectie zal constant aan en uit gaan. (We stellen voor dat je vermijdt om je login gegevens mee te delen aan je vrienden; zij kunnen zeer gemakkelijk zelf een account aanmaken)
Van zodra je over een account beschikt, waarmee je voorheen al hebt aangelogd, zal het opstarten van Waze je direct naar het hoofdscherm leiden.
Om je batterij te sparen, kan je best Waze afsluiten wanneer je je wagen verlaat en Waze minimaliseren of je scherm afzetten elke keer je het niet nodig hebt.
Overzicht: Wat zie je?
Het Waze scherm heeft de volgende onderdelen:
- De status balk bovenaan
- het hoofdscherm waar de kaart wordt getoond
- Kaartknoppen met 2 picto's: inzoom/ uitzoom knoppen

, a compass
and a map edit icon
- Tekstknoppen onderaan het scherm zijn voor de vier waze hoofdfuncties:
- Me on Map (geeft weer waar je nu bent). On some versions, you will see only a bulls-eye icon
with no text
- Drive to (choose a location to start a route - enter address, search local businesses with Google or access your favorites and marked locations)
- Live info (view live reports of events in your area). The number in parentheses represents the number of events in your area right now.
- Report (enter your own reports and events)
- Me on Map (geeft weer waar je nu bent). On some versions, you will see only a bulls-eye icon
Initially the main screen displays "me on map" - a map showing your location and an icon for your car on it.
You can only see the map if you have full GPS connectivity. If you're in an area where GPS reception is partial, you will see a map with a big cursor displaying your approximate location (based on cell ID).
If you don’t have any GPS reception at all, a map of your last known location will be displayed with no identifier of your current location.

Zoek adres of plaats
You may enter the name of a road, an address, a place name or keywords. Waze is smart and will show you a list of matches in order based on the closest and importance of the place. If there are few matches, a Google Local Search will be used. So you can search for "toy shop" or "gas station" and Waze will let you select from the closest matches.
You don’t have to enter a city but if your destination is not in your current city, you might want to enter a city as well.
If Waze does not know the house numbers on your destination road, or you don't enter a house number, Waze will choose the middle of the road.
If you choose the destination from the result of a Google Local Search, Waze will use the exact location of the destination, as provided by Google.
Gebruikelijke plaatsen
Your most frequently, recently chosen destinations will be listed for a quick selection. You can choose to include Home and Work here as two special destinations. To do this, add them to #My favorites with the name of Home and Work in your language. Use a capital for the first letter only.

Kaart besturing
The Map Controls give you easy access to the functions you use most while you're driving. By default, the map controls are displayed on the map. You can change the setting so only a tap on the map will bring them up
To change the display of the map controls (always display / display on tap only), go to settings >> general and change the 'display map option'. </br>
The Compass Icon - lets you toggle between two possible map displays:
- The default display: the compass arrow swings as you drive, and the map rotates, so that you always see the map in the direction you're driving. The arrow always points to the north.
- Clicking this icon will change the display: the compass icon changes to an arrow and the letter N
. The map is fixed (North is always up) and does not rotate.
The zoom in
/ out
icons - for zooming in and out on the map. On the iPhone you can also do this on the touch screen in the usual way.
The Edit Map icon
lets you update the map. Tap the map icon to display a menu of possible actions:
- Record a New Road - if the road you’re driving on isn't on the map yet, you can add it to the map just by driving it. Select this option to start recording the route as you travel it; select again to turn recording off. (For best results, start recording from a point that's already on the map, e.g. where the new road intersects with a road already on the map) You will get a message that recording is now on (or off); press OK to confirm.
- Update House Numbers – the number of the house you are next to (or if you're moving, the house you were next to when you made the selection) is displayed with up/down arrows to change it. When the correct number is displayed, press OK.
- Report map problem – gives you a sub-menu for reporting the most common mistakes on the map.
- Select the appropriate mistake
- Optional: if you want to add any text, select "more details"
- Press Send to send the report, or Cancel to exit the report
Map problem categories are:
- Incorrect turn - the map shows that you can make a turn at that point which in fact isn't allowed
- Incorrect address – the name of the street is incorrect
- Incorrect route – the navigation instructions here are incorrect
- Missing Roundabout
- General Map Error - here you'll usually want to use the virtual keyboard to key in the details before you press Send.After you press Send you get a message that the report was sent correctly.
De knoppen (onderaan)
The buttons at the bottom of the screen give you access to all waze functions:
Ik op kaart
displays the map of your current location, with an icon representing your carRoute berekeningen (Te vernieuwen)
- To calculate the best route to one of the displayed locations, touch its name/address (text). Waze will find the route, and display the map together with the distance to destination and the expected time to drive there. You might get a message that waze has insufficient data to calculate the route. This doesn't mean that waze can't calculate any route, only that waze isn't sure it's been able to find the optimal route. In this case you have two options:
- Try Route - to get navigation guidance for the route that waze knows.
- Teach waze - if you yourself know the route, you can teach waze the best route just by driving it.
- To do anything else, touch the arrow button next to the name. This brings up a menu where you can choose to:
- Navigate – calculate the best route as above
- Show location on map – waze displays the location (and you can zoom in and out) but does not calculate the best route to it.
- To calculate the best route to one of the displayed locations, touch its name/address (text). Waze will find the route, and display the map together with the distance to destination and the expected time to drive there. You might get a message that waze has insufficient data to calculate the route. This doesn't mean that waze can't calculate any route, only that waze isn't sure it's been able to find the optimal route. In this case you have two options:
Evenementen
Simply by driving around with waze running on their smartphones, drivers share real-time information that waze translates into road and traffic conditions. You can also actively report to the community on traffic, accidents and incidents, speed cameras, police traps, blocked roads and more. These are called "events". This information about events is collected and analyzed in real time to provide all wazers with the optimal route to their destination at any given moment.The Events button displays a menu, organized by type of event, of the real-time live reports by wazers about problems in your area:
- All
- gives you a list of all events reported in your area, listed by distance
- Police
- displays only reports of police cars/traps , listed by distance
- Traffic
- displays only reports of traffic loads in your area (light / moderate / heavy / standstill) listed by distance
- Accidents
- displays only reports of accidents in your area.
- Other
- any reports of events that aren't in one of the above 3 categories.
From the list of displayed events, you can:
- Touch an event to display its location on the map together with the full text of the report. To add your own comment to the report of this event (where allowed): touch the Comment button that appears under the text of the report. You'll get a virtual keyboard: type in your comment and press Done. Your comment will also be sent directly to the wazer who reported the event originally. If he or she replies, you'll get a message on your screen: "responding to you" with his or her reply.
- Touch the arrow beside an event to bring up a menu of possible actions:
- Display it on the map (the same option as touching the report of the event rather than the arrow beside it)
- Report irrelevant – if you're in that location and the event reported no longer exists there
- Add comment – brings up the virtual keyboard; type in your comment and then press Done.
- Sort by recency - if you would rather see results by chronological order (latest first).
Verslag
This is where you yourself report an event. Tapping the Report button displays a menu of several different types of events: reporting can be as simple as choosing the type of event and pressing Send. The event will be marked at the location you were in when you chose the type of event.
The types are:
- Police -
. Other users will see it pinned on the map with this icon
- Traffic -
. On the map
- Accident -
. On the map
- Hazard -
. On the map
- Speed Cam -
. On the map
- Chit Chat -
. On the map
- Check in with Foursquare - let's you check in to a foursquare location nearby. See the profile section for more details.
After choosing a type of event you get a screen were you can indicate:
- A text description of the event (disabled while car is moving)
- Whether it's on your side of the road (default) or the other side. Click once to change.
- A smiley to show how you feel about the event – happy
, sad
, mad
, bored
, and so on.
- A photo of the event – choose the "Add image" icon and your phone switches to camera mode; point and shoot, and the picture appears instead of the "Add image" icon
At the bottom of ‘report event’ page you will notice three options:
![]()
When the report is the way you want it, choose Send; or to back out without sending it, choose Cancel.

GPS Connectivity: The satellite icon
shows you have GPS connectivity and its strength.
means you have good connectivity and your location is known.

Mood icon
The smiley shows the mood you're in at the moment. If you've chosen to be visible to other wazers (green privacy icon), your mood is also displayed to them; and if you've chosen to tweet your reports to your Twitter followers, they'll see your current mood as part of the tweet. You can change it via the Settings > Profile menu. Current options are:
- you’re happy – other wazers will see your avatar on the map as
- you’re sad – and your avatar
- you’re tired – and your avatar
- you’re mad – and your avatar
- you’re bored – and your avatar
- you’re starving – and your avatar
More moods coming soon!!
Stars and points Ticker
This icon, on the right-hand side of the main screen below the status bar, allows you to view the number of points you have accumulated and your current rank.
- To open the ticker, tap on the little green arrow and the ticker will slide out.
- To close the ticker – tap the green arrow again.
If you accumulate points while driving (by sending reports or driving on roads that are dotted), the green ticker will automatically slide out, and your new points will be shown under “gained points.” The ticker will slide back in after a few seconds. If you don't want to display the points ticker icon on your screen, you turn it off (or on again) via Settings > General > 'Show points ticker' and choosing "on" or "off".
Different activities and actions earn a different number of points as FAQ#How_are_points_calculated.3F explained in the FAQ
You can choose not to display road goodies on your map. However, if you run over a goodie, you will still receive the points or contest credits as appropriate. But there will be no notification on your client device
No Internet Connectivity icon
This only appears if your phone has no connection to the Internet. Note that you might see this icon when launching waze as it could take a few seconds for waze to connect.
Without internet connectivity (active data), you'll be able to continue driving along routes that have already been downloaded to your phone; you will not be able to see reports or new sections of the map. For instance: if you've requested a "best route" and it's been downloaded to your phone, you can continue to drive along it, but if you decide to turn off from it along the way, you won't get that new section of the map without Internet connectivity.
The Live Reports icon
This is an exclamation point together with a small number representing the number of events that have been reported in your area. As long as you have Internet connectivity this number is constantly updated.
- To view details of these reports, tap the Events button at the bottom of the screen.
- If you've stopped, the reports will also be displayed in rotation on the main screen, on your map.
No Sound icon
You can choose whether you want to hear voice instructions on your route. When this option is "on", no icon is displayed on the status bar. When it's "off", you will see this icon of a speaker with an X on it. You turn it on or off via Settings > Navigation guidance.
The settings Button
Takes you to the settings screen where you can modify and personalize waze. See all settings in the next section of this guide.
The Power Button
This lets you set how waze runs and therefore how much power it's consuming. Tap it to display the available options. They are:
- Resume manually - minimize waze but keep it running in the background. To switch back to waze, click on the waze icon on your phone's desktop, and you'll be back in it right away.
- Resume in 30 seconds - Waze will be minimized for 30 seconds and then automatically come back up.
- Exit – turn off the application completely.
- Cancel – go back to Waze main screen without taking any of the above options.
Instellingen
The settings allow you to view and personalize your waze experience. Tap it to enter the Settings menu. Here you define:- Navigation guidance (on/off) – whether you want voice instructions in addition to the map display when following a route
- Display – to display the map in either 2D (default) or 3D.
- Light – whether the screen lighting should be adjusted for day or night viewing. By default, the display will automatically switch to night mode when it gets dark. You can choose to keep this option manual by setting "automatic night mode" to Off from the General settings menu.
Algemene Instellingen
This menu lets you set:
- The backlighting (on/off): by default it's "on", and the backlight will remain on as long as waze is running.
- Speaker volume - to choose the volume level for voice directions
- Auto zoom of maps (on/off) – by default it's "on", so the map will zoom in and out while you're navigating, based on the distance to your next decision point (e.g. place where you have to turn). You can disable this feature by selecting "off".
- Whether to display the points ticker ("on" to display it, "off" to hide it)

To change your username and password, first go to the waze.com site, log in, and make the changes, and only then update it on your phone.
- Displays a car icon
which will represent your car on the map you see. You can choose from a large number of cars of different types and colors (more cars coming soon!!)
- Displays the icon for your current mood – you can change it to one of the others.
- Twitter – lets you choose whether to tweet your waze reports to your twitter followers; if you choose to do so, enter your Twitter username and password. Your current mood will be included in the tweet. You can disable and re-enable tweeting at any time without affecting your Twitter credentials.
- FourSquare - lets you set up your foursquare account to use with waze, and set tweets about your foursquare activity.
What is Foursquare? It's a cool way to discover and promote cool places in your city and be rewarded for doing so. You can check foursquare and check in to locations around you using waze.
First thing you'll need is to create an account on foursquare - this can be done on http://www.foursquare.com
Then, make sure you are logged in to waze (with your waze user name) and go to settings >> profile. Under 'Foursquare' enter your foursquare user name and password. Hit back or enter (depending on phone) and wait for the message confirming that you were able to connect to your foursquare account. Note that sometimes it takes a few times before it is able to connect.
Once connected, you can use waze and at any given point - when you position is known (GPS icon is green) - you can check in to locations on foursquare. Go to "report" - where you would usually report traffic jams, accidents, etc. - the last option is to check in with foursquare. Choosing this option will bring up a list of all the foursquare locations around you. Click on one to check in to it. Then visit http://www.foursquare.com to see the full details of this check in.
Routing Menu
Here you tell waze how to calculate the optimal route for you. The options are:
- Route preference – you prefer the calculation to choose either the shortest route, or the fastest taking into account current event reports along that route. The default is "fastest".
- Dirt roads – you can choose to allow their inclusion in your route, to forbid it, or to allow short ones but avoid long ones where possible.
- Minimize turns (on/off) – if this is "on", waze calculates a route that will require you to turn from one street into another as few times as possible.
- Avoid highways (on/off) – the default is "off". If you prefer to spend as little time on highways as possible, choose "on". (It isn't always possible, of course, to avoid highways altogether, but waze will do its best, taking into account your other routing preferences).
Privacy Menu
This menu displays a screen headed "Display my location on mobile and web" with the options "when driving" and "when reporting". Waze always respects your privacy, and your location will never be shared against your will. This is where you define the degree of privacy you'd like:
- When driving - choose between:
- Anonymous: your location is shown but not your identity (neither username nor nickname): you appear as an "anonymous user". This is the default. The top Status bar shows this by displaying your avatar in blue with a question mark on it.
- Nickname and avatar: other wazers will see your location on the map, and your avatar will display your current mood (as described regarding the Status bar avatar, above). If you've chosen this option, your status bar displays a green avatar.
- Don't show me: your location won't be shown at all – you're there but invisible, like a ghost! The top Status bar shows this displaying a ghost avatar.
- When reporting - choose between:
- Using my nickname: your reports are identified by your nickname
- Anonymous: your reports are sent anonymously, no information identifying their sender is displayed
- About - this displays information about the waze program, including which version you're currently running.
Rijden met Waze
Flits palen
Stem meldingen worden alleen gegeven als je sneller rijd dan toegestane snelheid bij het naderen van een flitspaal. Het is gebruikelijk om een limiet van 15 toe te wijzen aan de camera, zodat een Stem meldingen altijd gegeven wordt, en andere camera's, zoals rood-licht camera's, kunnen ook op deze manier worden geregistreerd.
