Two driving experiences for March 2023!

This month, you’ll be able to choose between two driving experiences -

  • Noir Detective - going live today
  • Zodiac - going live on March 21, 2023, so we ask that you keep it discrete until it’s launched

Looking to drive with a hard-boiled detective, inspired by classic films that pit detectives against crafty criminals?
Choose Noir Detective and bring some old Hollywood to the road. March 2023 - Noir Detective.png

Looking for directional guidance from the cosmos?
Choose Zodiac and get guidance from our resident astrologer and latest navigation guide, who can get you to your destination with love, life advice, and little light roasting. March 2023 - Zodiac.png

These experiences are available globally, in English.
If they don’t appear in your “My Waze” menu, you can locate the voice, Moods and vehicles in your app Settings.

Please note, given the war in Ukraine, these campaigns will not be available in Ukraine or neighboring countries.

Thanks,
Anat, on behalf of the Waze Communities team.

Request to enable access for countries neighboring Ukraine :pray:

Any new updates on this campaign? :slight_smile:

Hi,

The voices, cars and moods should already be available in their respective menus, in case you don’t see the promotional banner for it.
Please let me know if you don’t see the voices, cars and moods in the settings.

Thanks!

Hello Anat,

Thanks for the update.
I already see the cars and voices in the app. The moods so far not yet. Maybe I’m blind right now as well. :mrgreen:

Was generally asking about publishing the campaign on our social media channels, the German draft for it is already done and waiting for permission to publish.

Thanks for letting me know.
I’ll check and get back to you.
UPDATE: There’s a technical issue with Zodiac, so we were asked to hold off with Comms until it’s resolved.
The Communities team availability is a bit spotty these coming weeks, with the holidays in Israel, but we’ll do our best to keep this thread posted for when it’s OK to share the news about Zodiac again.

Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know, Anat.
We’re ready to post on the Portuguese social media. Please let us know when we can go forward with the publishing.
Thanks and best regards,

Hello Anat,

I still don’t see the Moods so far. Maybe it will take a bit longer, till there are visible in the App?
Location: Germany

Best Regards

Hi Christoph,

Thank you for reporting back.

2 questions for you please:

  1. Are you on Android or iOS?
  2. Are you seeing the popup / promotional banner at the bottom of the left side menu, and can activate the Moods there?

Thank you!

Hi Anat,

• Android (Beta Version Screenshot attached)
• So far no Banner or popup displayed in the menu. Or you mean another menu?

Perfect, super helpful.
I’ll take this back to the team and keep this thread posted.

14

OK, so the issue for Android hasn’t yet been resolved.
I’ll be OOO next week, so I won’t be here to report exactly when it’s fixed, but it should be resolved early next week.
If it happens today, when I’m still here, I’ll be sure to report back.

Hi,
I can see lots of special moods, but they are not localised (and we have as usual 100% translated).
Shouldn’t they first be localised before being announced?

best,
wolfgang

Hi wolfgang,

Can you please report a bug using this link

Take into consideration that the copilot page for now we are using the translations of only the top languages.

Best,
Nicole
