Bicycles

[talkymeat]

Hi all, just downloaded Waze to my iPhone, and am thoroughly impressed by this really really neat idea, and I look forward to contributing to the maps. There’s just one thing though - I don’t have a car or a driving license! I do, however, have a bicycle, which I ride a great deal. This is of course fine, as long as I stick to riding on the roads; if I go onto cycle paths, on the other hand, that’s likely to be a problem, isn’t it? I don’t want to be laying down road on the map that is unusable to my internal combustion-powered fellow Wazers! Is there any possibility of having a control I could toggle in the client to indicate “bike” or “car”, or for that matter “pedestrian”?

Happy wazing!

Yep!

What do you do if you can’t edit the roads? All I have is a cheap netbook for school and for whatever reason I can’t load the maps to edit them. Or, if I can, it takes a very long time (insanely long).

That option isn’t available in the client, but as sketch mentioned, the roads can be changed to Walking Trails afterward with CarTouche.
