Funny. (Not). That sounds exactly like how the www Live Map works already. So, if they change it, I probably won't notice the difference. LOL. Not.

They're talking about implementing the new look of the www live map to the world live map. So I was describing the www live map, not the world live map. IMO it would be very stupid of Waze to implement this new display on the world live map as well, unless they fix it first.

Any news on implementing the look of US Live Map on the World server? Names of small cities instead of big ones and gray colors make it look very depressing...

4\/3!!

Totally agree! Don't recall ever getting a reason for not implementing it on world server either!

Trust me, you guys don't want the new live map the way it is right now!

The larger the footprint of a city, the higher should be the priority of showing it's name on the Live map.

Hi
You are absolutely right. we are working on that bug at time and i hope it will be fixed
in the very near future.

thanks,

To be honest, I think it works on the client now. Live Map stayed the same.

Thanks Ori, it's good to hear that

The new livemap look, that solves this problem, has already been implemented and is now live in the US server (http://www.waze.com/livemap/). It will be available soon in the "world" server as well (http://world.waze.com/livemap/).

3 months have passed, and nothing has changed. It is very frustrating to see random names on the map instead of the major cities.
