Waze is indirectly encouraging you to move on to Android or iOS :lol:
I just moved from iOS to WP a month ago :P . If I'm moving again, it's from waze to another navigation app. (Un)fortunately, there still is no decent (and free) competitor for the live (re)routing capabilities that waze has to offer.

Update; I noticed that the problem only seems to occur for my evening commute home. When I drive to work in the morning, the route calculates just fine. :roll:

Update 2 (Mar 23); uninstalled and re-installed the app. Calculating a new route now works just fine, but the app kills itself when I use the option for calculating alternative routes. :roll: ^2.

Update 3 (Mar 25); the original problem is back after only a few days. App kills itself every time I try to calculate a route.

Running the risk that I jinx something here... but the app has worked flawlessly over the last two weeks.

that's what I am doing regularly since the very beginning I subscribed.
Quid pro quo. I'd be glad to help fixing their map again as soon as waze fix their app.

There is no (free) alternative for the dynamic rerouting functions that waze has to offer.

That's what kept me from moving on.

Please also read the comment that follows May 6th:
waze ‏@waze · May 6
@wmpoweruser Right now most of our users are on iOS/Android. If/When this changes we’ll be happy to put out more updates for WP.
So still the same crap they've been feeding WP users for the last two years or so...

There is no fix for that issue.

Well. Of course there is. But the people at waze can't be bothered.

As you can tell from the topic title, Windows Phone is currently not supported by Waze. Do not expect any updates anytime soon.

However, the last available version of Waze for WP (3.7.something) works o.k. on WP10.

Correct, that is how I did it. It is the link between your Waze and Facebook accounts that need to be set.
Is there something wrong with Waze? Connected my FB account on Waze Android , and can't see any info on scoreboard on friends tab of both Waze Windows Phone and Android.
