I'm new, so please forgive me if

I have just missed it, but where the Support Forum for the United States? When I look in the forum by language there is a UK forum : http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=55, but the information there doesn’t really apply to the naming here in the US. I’ve been looking for where people would post things specifically for Los Angeles, but it’s really not clear at all.

This “Community” forum seems to be the place with the most US relevant posts, but coming in with a fresh perspective as someone that wants to contribute, it’s not very clear where to go. Anyone else feel this way? Am I in the wrong place?

Welcome to Waze! http://www.waze.com/forum is the general support forum for all English speaking individuals. The language specific is just that, for specific languages. I believe that Los Angeles is one of two major cities that has its own mini-sites, however I forget what the naming schema is for accessing that site.

One of the most recommended places to start is the Technical FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) where you can find here: http://www.waze.com/faq/technical_faq/

Another support area is the Wiki where most common questions and answers are housed are located here:
http://www.waze.com/wiki/

If neither of the two satisfy you can always search the forums, however the default search option doesn’t work very well, except to stress one’s phraseology skills. It is recommended you use Google’s site search. The format is to visit Google Search and enter the following:

(your search terms) site:www.waze.com/forum
