Feature request: turn off wazer icons

Post by rotorboy
I realize a compelling component of Waze is the social aspect, but I find the wazer icons can clutter the map. Would be great to have an option to turn them off.

My apologies if one exists and I missed it.

Thanks

The servers are processing all of it, but only something like 40 nearby Wazers are sent to the app. It's an app performance feature.

Try Settings, Display Settings, Show on Map, deselect Wazers.

Congratulations on driving in an area with loads of Wazers. It makes the app even better.

I still kind of like seeing other wazers' icons as I'm driving around. Of course, I drive in a lot of remote areas so I don't see them too often... Still, good to know you can turn them off... thx dknight212!
