Catchall thread for discussion of missing points and drives

Post by
While I was keeping stats on my dashboard statistics I noticed that the number of Driving Alerts is not increasing since 4 October, while I did register several driving alerts.
Other statistics are changing and I'm on the correct server :)

Waze is aware of the issue (as of today, is the only time I heard directly). They say the points processes should be caught up in about 2 days, which is October 9.

Drives were updated, but still remain 3-4 days behind in the US. Points were stalled, so they updated them and mine show updated 10-10, but appear to be stalled again, like the automatic process is failing.

Last statement is totally true. However, some of us are not worried about the points, but when a service slows down so significantly, we feel we need to ensure Waze knows about it. So far, they acknowledged the problem with sessions early this week and said it'd be fixed by x date. It got fixed once, but still is an issue, so isn't fixed.

1. I really don't care about points. I enjoy editing, so I was trying to verify roads and expand my area to edit. I was just embellishing the story a bit. Don't assume you know me, or my intentions.

2. Hawaii IS a state.
Your little story about being responsible for "the crash" made me laugh. :D

#2: Well, duh, but why does it keep moving around? I look at a paper map and it's just off california. Then another one has it further north. Sometimes, it's next to Mexico. Maybe they need to tether that thing to the ocean floor or something? :shock:

Until 2 weeks ago, points were updating at least daily. Just because you think the points are wrong, doesn't mean they are. You'd have to open a support ticket and be very specific about how many points of what type are missing.

Just because they aren't a hazard when you get there doesn't mean it wasn't a hazard when someone posted it. Check out the time and see how long ago it was posted. Some people, because you get these super awesome points, will post hazards which do not exist.

Looks like the drives are being processed, but any URs from the drives are missing the requested route info.

In the US, google does not provide address results to Waze. Only bing does at this time.
