Missing Road Goodies in South Africa

Post by SASideKick
Fellow Wazers,

Trust you have and continue to enjoy a merry Christmas as we approach the end of 2013.

Was it just my iOS Waze UI or did none of us enjoy the thrill of driving through seasonal road goodies here in South Africa this December?

May we all enjoy a wonderful Wazing 2014.

It is odd, especially since I received a message on my waze client inbox from waze saying there would be goodies this holiday season. :(

Definitely had none in the Mossel Bay area.
Is there any chance that SANRAL requested that these only be made available on e-tolled roads to entice Wazers to use them?

The Changes in editing points thread would indicate the reason for this anomaly.
The amount of new Wazers is good news, but I think it might actually relate to the e-tolling saga and the fact that Waze can avoid the gantries. Not that the other alternatives are not like parking lots during peak times, but still....

Anyhow, I hope you guys (and the gals of course) had a great Christmas, and have a smashing New Year filled only with good things.

It seems like the waze Christmas spirit didn't come to South Africa this year. :(
Maybe the snowmen melted!

ROFL,
I can vouch that even on the SANRAL e-tolled roads as well as the Bakwena toll roads in and around Gauteng there were no snowmen, no gingerbread men, no candy hooks, nada!
We have enjoyed a particularly cool and wet Christmas in GP, that may have contributed to or prevented the melting of any snowmen. The cookie monster must have gotten hold of the gingerbread men...
Or we could tag the Grinch who attempted to steal Christmas.
Another anomaly seems to be the fact that no amount of map editing or UR solving seems to result in any further bonus points / bonus sweets being awarded either.
On the upside, I've noticed a bunch of new baby Wazers on our roads. :D
And a bunch of "new" active editors in GP... :roll:
Then again I've only been around a year using Waze and about 6 odd months editing... Most of you 'timers would still consider me a "newbie" :lol:

Thx for pointing this out Carel,
I obviously missed this one... :oops:
Should be a bit more attentive of what gets posted in the forums. ;)
