Missing drives since iOS app 3.5 upgrade

Post by
Does anyone else have missing drives since upgrading their iOS waze app to version 3.5?

On my last two commutes, the morning drives in both cases are registered and viewable in the map editor. However, both evening drives are missing. Both times I went off-route in evening, when I didn't in the morning. I don't know if that is a cause of the problem.

I've had drives show up with 3.5. Not likely an app issue.

Did you submit any map issues in the missing drive ?

Now that's interesting; so there is no way to turn off data compression now?
No.

- My morning commute drive showed up within 5 min.
- My morning commute yesterday is available.
- My afternoon commute hasn't appeared yet.

All are nearly exactly the same distance traveled. Drive processing is clearly not happy with something happening during some drives.

I usually have wifi off, so one end is LTE, the other is 3G. No known breaks in coverage during the entire commute.

My problem would be at the work end, too, if I didn't have wifi disabled, as the default wifi there requires AD domain authentication to get through to the internet, so most non-work data is blocked.

But you shouldn't lose the whole drive. At worst shouldn't you only lose from where you lost the internet connection.

Must be an iOS version issue.

Longer drives take longer to process - shorter drives take precedence in processing. In a few days you will see all your drives.

I'm missing drives going back to the beginning of October. It seems like any drive where I sent several URs gets lost. I've made drives specifically to record tracks through construction areas and to send URs to myself to fix things and verify map problems. This has happened 3 times in the last month.

Yesterday, I made a 30 km drive, leaving several URs on the way. When I got home, the 30 km drive home was showing within an hour but the outbound drive still hasn't shown up.

I've made several reports to support about this including one this morning but the keep saying that there's a delay of up to a week. That doesn't tel me much because I'm missing a drive from October 6 and a drive from October 20, plus there are a dozen other days where my 5 mile commute to work shows one way, but not the other.

So there is definitely a problem and I'm just going to keep reporting back to the developers about it until they have some revelation and see that there is actually a problem.
