There are 2 ways to force waze to show all the roads.
1. 'No auto zoom'. (Not recomended)
2. Zoom by distance in portrait mode.

You shouldn't use gps apps without a charger.
Using gps combined with a screen which is constantly on, will empty the battery very fast indeed. ;)

That's about a hour than.
It's not that much indeed.

Maybe you can check if it helps to put your screen brightness a bit lower?

Sometimes You hear it very soft.

We are aware of this problem and a "Play to speaker" feature will be added to a future version.
Okey thanks.

Just to lett you know.
It's allready working correct sometimes.
60% of the time it's just playing to the speaker.
30% of the time I only hear a very soft sound comming from my phone.
10% of the time it's playing trough my car speaker.

All worked fine, and when trying to go back to the map, it was black !
When going again into menu, no map !

Indeed.
It's solved when you go into the settings menu and than go back to the map again.

Hi.
On my SGSII device. New version of Waze is still crashing. I have used it for about 10 minutes and I have collected 22 crush reports by now (all of them are sent). Situation is pritty the same on my wife's Samsung Galaxt Ace. Where can I download previous version? This one is realy unusable. :-(

During entering new report, it should be able to mark both direction. Like there is a big crash or reconstruction on the road over all lines.

I have been using Waze 3.0.1.x religiously for the last month or so, and in all that time it has not learned any "preferred routes" based on my driving habits. It's very annoying as well, because it suggests quite ridiculous routes that take me 10-80% longer distance on my work commute. (I drive an 8.6 mile commute, but Waze continues to suggest 11mi & 14.2mi routes in the top three preferred routes, and the 8.7 mile route it does suggest has many more intersections and non-highway roads so that route takes at least 10 minutes longer than mine). I drive the same way every day, but Waze refuses to suggest the route I drive every day while using Waze.

I figured the Waze maps might have something to do with it, so I made a huge amount of map corrections to the city I live in, and they finally just started appearing live with the 2/12/12 map update today. I'm hoping that would help, and it has a little, but even today, there is still there is no sign Waze is learning my route to work.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
Most of this has to do with stuff that happens on the servers and not dependent on the phone itself. I would suggest opening a topic on the inccorrect route forum http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=143, and include a permalink of the route it takes you from the live map, and either a google maps depiction of what it should do, or some good direction :) Note that only the edits up to 2/12 are live, if you made the modifications after this date, you will have to wait for the next map update cycle to run. Hopefully it runs smoother then the last one.
