Ok, since the waze team doesn't make an announcement about it and I've been getting blind from reading all the "Cartouche doesn't work" threads I made one!

On february the 22nd Waze started importing the new mapgrid that they got from Intermap (link).

Waze started with all the roads in France and Germany, and since this quite a lot of roads that's getting pushed into the servers database and Cartouche it's been going slow. How you will notice this:

1. Your driven routes may take some extra time to show up in the dashboard
2. Changes you make in cartouche might not show or take longer before it shows in the live map
3. Editing in Cartouche may be sluggish or slow and seem buggy.
4. Other buggy behaviour...

Ok, this is just a few of the points that I've been seeing in the posts... but if you think for a minute about how much data that they are adding (ALL roads in 2 major countries) maybe it's not that surprising that it's slow.

Sit back and relax, all your precious points and km's will be added to your account, your edits that you can see in cartouche will be shown in the livemap and client eventually etc.
Sometime soon it might be your country that finally gets a new shiny grid with all the roads and all the others that's pissed since it doesn't seem to be working... it all evens out in the end!
