What do the various symbols mean??!

Post by TollerGPS
I have spent a half hour googling on this, thinking it MUST be explained somewhere, but I sure can't find it

What do the symbols mean?
I see a cat, a water drop with an eye, a whale eating a girl, a sunflower, and a water drop with a boy's face.
What on earth could they possibly mean?

A link to a complete list would be wonderful.

So what does this symbol mean? The blue one the red arrow is pointing to... (File was too big so had to crop it.)

To echo what crusdepelos stated this is an in app feature that allows you to add a stop after you have selected a route to follow. Examples might be to find a fueling station or a place to eat. You select a destination in your app then in the ETA bar there is an 'Add a Stop' function that will allow you to enter the intermediate destination. That stopping point will show as the symbol above.

I believe you are referring to the "dummy camera's" along Old Convington Hwy.

Waze is working with local editors in the area currently. These dummy cameras will be gone soon. Thank you!

If so, this might help:

(Following those directions will give you an illustrated list of icons or "moods" associated with various Wazers.)

Thanks, saved me a lot of time! https://www.waze.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I was pulling my hair out trying to understand some of these.
