I continue to get notification of bonus points on the road but have never been able to find them, can someone give me some help on how to find them?

I’d start by making sure the Road goodies layer is enabled/on in the app settings.

I mean… they appear right in front of you. Do you have the sound turned on? You should be able to hear when you run over them. I often don’t see them because they appear so close and I’m not constantly looking at my phone while I’m driving.

They haven’t been visible at all since the last update on Android, I hear the pop that they’ve appeared but no idea where until I get the jingle to tell me I’ve got it. If you do have the sound muted, as unwallflower suggests, you’d have no idea any of that happened!

On my iPhone I’ve never seen one pop up either, that is why I was asking for help.

Don’t know what to suggest other than emailing support ([alpha@waze.com](mailto:alpha@waze.com)) as they’ve started showing for me again!

It’s working fine on my iPhone as I got a 750pt map edit one this morning.

Nice to see cupcakes on the map again too, it’s been a while! (or do you not see these on android either?

Have not seen a editing bonus for days - is it broken again?

I got my last yesterday… I made no edits since then, and will not for a few days, so I won’t be able to report about this the coming days.

I’ve received at least three per day for the last week. (Six one day.) :shock:

Haven’t done much since finally getting gold wazer last week though!

Got 1 bonus this week, so in principle it is working for me again.

But… You get 5 - 6 per day! I never get more than 1 per day, despite 90km of driving. I must have built a GIANT backlog of editing-bonusses (bonii?) that never come my way as fast as I generate them. What mileage you guys make to get 5 or 6 per day? How do you tickle those bonusses - make many short drives or 1 long drive?

I’m (un)lucky if I do more than 10 miles a week in the car. Tend to find if a bonus is due it will trigger shortly after turning waze on but can often get multiple per session. 2 this morning on a 3 mile journey.

I’ve gotten 2 or 3 in one day.  
I always do many short drives per day. (waze takes 10 minutes or so to shut off my GPS chip and it wears down my battery)

I have vacation the week after next and I’ll have to do a bunch of edits before leaving town to see if I get multiples over one loooong road trip.

That said…  
I got one this morning. 🙂
