Points and drives - only if online?

Post by BridgeAce
Hi,
The FAQ says " You gain points every time you use Waze".
But I did quite some driving last week while offline (i.e. set up route while connected to wifi, used waze to drive to destination with mobile-data off, went online with wifi later) and these drives don't appear in my points or in the "my drives" section of the web map editor.

Do you only gain points every time you use Waze online?
Is there an extra synch mechanism which I'm not aware of to update maps/points once you are online again?

Waze could contribute from hiring English translator but they will not. We have to deal with wrongly translated sentences.

If you start and end your drive on WiFi you have used the system but have not given anything back therefore you don't earn any points.

Good to know, A4bolek.
I'd assumed this contributed to the map data and often had waze on even when I knew the route and didn't need to navigate. Looks like I was wrong on that, too.
