What’s new in Waze
The leaderboard is better than ever!
We've made two highly requested leaderboard improvements, thanks to your feedback. Now, you can see your editing and driving points separately! Plus, we've added state breakdowns for several countries, including Mexico, India, Brazil and Australia. Learn more.
Smoother WME navigation
We've made the Unified Action Menu smoother and more reliable, so you can navigate sub menus diagonally. We also added a safe zone to prevent accidental menu closures. We hope it makes editing easier and more fun! Learn more.

Star of the Month
Meet NOVAGENOFFICIAL, our dedicated L4 editor, and beta tester from Pakistan.
"Five years ago, I started using Waze because Google Maps was too slow. I added a lot of roads to my home city of Lahore and became part of the Waze community. Along the way, I learned and grew, always aiming to draw a complete map of Lahore. The goal of our community is to make Waze fully available across Pakistan, and we are localizing the app in Urdu as well.”
Thank you NOVAGENOFFICIAL for all your editing contributions and social activity on Waze Pakistan on Instagram and Discord!
Thanks for reading!
