I have been having this same issue on my Moto Droid with Froyo. I was able to resolve it by going into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications and then pressing Clear Data. Then I relaunched Waze and set up the application again. It now works perfectly.

Hi,

same problem occurred to me after the update a few days ago. Save your map data and screen settings from the SD card (folders skins and maps) if you have a large cache and own settings.

Uninstall the current version and delete the waze folder on the SD card.

Install the new version 1.7.2.0 and start, change all settings you need and close the app. Now copy the maps and skins folder back into the waze folder on the SD card and replace all files.

This worked perfectly and I didn't loose all the street data and screen settings.

The download doesn't seem to work anymore unfortunately so you'll have to wait for new beta announcenments.

However the procedure I described earlier should work too for the version from the android market. Save the foldes I mentioned. Uninstall, delete folder on SD card, reinstall, change settings, exit and copy maps and skins back.

Problem should be solved. I couldn't however find a reason for this behaviour, so I can't promise it'll solve the problem permanentely.

I have the exact same problem since i installed 1.7.2.0 for Android

I tried that, didn't work. I uninstalled & reinstalled waze (including clearing cache), and it's been working fine all day. It seems to have puked when I restored the app with Titanium Backup after a new ROM install.

EDIT: htc Incredible, CM6.0.2

How do I install 1.7.2.0 if 1.5.9.18 is the version in the Android Market that is available to me?

Today, even though I was being located by 7 GPS satellites, Waze would not work.

Awesome. That worked.
