HTC touch diamond 2 and Waze 1.8.0.0 (winmobile) bugs

Post by pappasbil
Firs some bugs.

1. I cant use my wifi with waze. If I turn off the phone connection waze are telling me no connections but I can surf the web flawlessly with the working wifi connection.


2. When I install waze I answer where I will use waze USA or international. I cant change that later any where!


Some question/wishes.
Im in Sweden but I will go to New York and rent a car there and of course I will use waze.  :P But I cant search any address in my waze client in New York. (I believe that because bugg 2?)

If I calculate a trip from A to B I would like that to be cached in waze and me to use that even without a working internet connection. (and I should be able to turn waze off and it still remember).
If I use waze and cross my country’s boundary the charge for internet connection thru the phone are sky rocketing. There for I think it is obvious that you should be able to use your waze without a working internet connection if you planed your trip in advance (With a working connection). The same goes if im in a mountain area without phone covering I still whant road directions..)



I think this is small changes in the client, I will be leaving son please make them quickly… ;)

Even if Waze could cache the trip, what should it do when you are forced to take a detour? It can't cache the whole world?

The hole idea with a calculated rout are to follow it so if i detour its my problem. I still whant directions on the right route.
I didn’t say I wanted the world I said I wanted my planed route.

What more do you nead.

And i would like to calculate the rout and dl the maps at home (in sweden) because the cost of roming from my Swedish mobile account to at&t in the US are (if I reade there chart correct 15 $/Mb + 2.90$ /min using it.) So I don’t what to use the US server when im there I whant to use it when im here at home and cache the maps in advance… Can i change the server and put POI´s in advans and so on?

edit: i have tripple cheked the wifi does not work with waze for this mobile. regardless of in witch order wifi/waze/phone connection are started. denenitly a bug thats need fixing.

Hi,
well, that's the way any online navigation system works. It downloads map tiles for the whole route with some parts aside. If you go away from the planned route it either has to download the missing parts or you are lost :o

i have blocked mobile data – i only have wifi which is not [usually] available in the car. I have discovered waze is working pretty well on my phone, at least near my home. Is that because data is cached from searching while at home on wifi? Or am i somehow getting internet reception? I have never seen wifi connecting in the car.



Thanks,
savaeden

Hii

First which device you are using and which version ????
If you want to go to New York for example, Waze will identify your location and replace server to USA ;) .
