Other wazer???

Post by maximax
Why all the other wazer on the map aren't moving?
I mean, they should be moving if we drive in the same direction, or not?
Thanks

"Activate real time position on the map"
Vast majority do not want it (Waze builds to 80% usage ratio for most features), and it would significantly increase server load and network bandwidth both for Waze and for you. This has all been discussed before.

Part of this is a privacy issue. You probably wouldn't want your real-time position being shared with all users.

The map refreshes about every 5 minutes, meaning you aren't seeing it in real time. The other wazers aren't moving because they are no longer there.

This is how I was able to capture myself on the road after traveling back in the opposite direction a few minutes later http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/02/ady4uqev.jpg
