I just recently was to an area where there were lots of Waze users and now I have questions:
I saw some Waze icons on my screen on the Waze map that looked like they carried a sword, had different colored hats on and some Waze icons were even different colors. What do the colors mean and how does one acquire a hat or sword?
I had some Wazers Ping me, but I couldn’t respond because I was driving. Can I voice a response to them and it will show up as text to them?
One Wazer thanked me for letting them know there was a cop at a certain location, how did they know it came from me?
When my friends use Waze and go somewhere, I get a text from them (probably forwarded to my phone from Twitter or some other social network) similar to this: “Driving to (location), sharing real-time road info with Wazers in my area. ETA (time) using @waze - Drive Social!” How can I send my info out to others? What are the steps I must take or do to make this happen? Do I have to type all of that or is it automatic?
You can also share your destination eta with people in your contacts by selecting your route, go back to menu and hit share. Then it will ask if you want to do it by email or text. Once you do that, it automatically populates text, all you have to do is select who gets it. I drive my wife crazy when I send her these texts, but it is quick and now she uses it to text me.
