Silly question from 2nd-day user

I just started using this, and I know it’s a silly question, but what do the pins from other users on my map signify?

I’ll see a pin with someone’s mood icon, and if I click on it, it says their speed and gives me the option to ping them. What generates these?

That’s the location (give or take a couple of minutes) of the other people who are using Waze.

Pinging them allows you to send them a message (which also shows on the map for everyone to read).

You are mixing two things.

  1. Wazers that are driving near you are shown on the map as cutsie Wazers that you can click on to see their rank, points, etc.

  2. Report PINs. There are locations where other Wazers have reported Police, Hazards, traffic, etc.
