We are very happy to announce that we enabled two important features for the drivers in the Philippines - Gas stations and TTS (text to speech) !!!

The Gas stations feature will allow drivers to update gas prices for stations nearby, providing the community of drivers the most accurate prices and let them filter stations by price from the settings menu.
To update the price at a station open the reports menu and select the Gas Prices icon.

The TTS is an audio feature that uses the street names in voice navigation.
Please see our manual for enabling the feature and play with the settings:

We would be happy to hear your feedback!

Enjoy :)
Thanks Mapsir and the Waze Team for the good news.

It's good to know that we, Pinoy Wazer are no longer left behind for this new technological advancement, enjoyed mostly by the first world country.

Cheers!!

Yes, apparently the app is experiencing technical issues with the feature globally.

I tried updating gas prices earlier while I was at Petron. But I cannot update, it says I have to be above baby wazer to be able to update. What?!?  I’m at Royalty level already! Bug?

Any advise when the TTS can be fixed? I know there is no ETA to fix based on the thread but somehow there might be an update by now already. ;-) Just curious how TOM and SAMANTHA will pronounce the local streets.

Just a bit scary at first because you will be back as baby wazer ;-). But multiple closing and opening of waze will bring back your status. I just lost my favorites because at first i did not know the command ##@restorefav in restoring favorites.
