It's a month ago when the gas prices were launched in our country and most of the users which do not visit forums still don't know it. And if they know, they don't know that they can update them.

Could be nice to have an optional small popup window when comming near a gas station (like a speed camera or other warnings) where the reported prices will be shown with buttons "Confirm" and "Update" the prices. Of course this window should have also the 10 seconds auto-close. This would make it easier also for user who already report the prices.

I did a comparison of Google Maps versus Waze, and Google's navigation lady's voice is much clearer and easier to understand, especially when there's a lot of road noise. The Waze lady's voice has less audio fidelity and sounds digitally compressed.
Please specify the language first and then if you have problem with the standard recorded prompts or text-to-speech functionality.

We can see data flow running correctly on device while Waze do not find network.
Strange. Since I moved to SGS2 (from WM6 phone) about a year ago, I never had this problem. I usually start Waze on WiFi in front of my house and the client smoothly continues on GSM. Doesn't matter if I switch the WiFi off or keep it on and the signal is lost.

After an upgrade from 3.5.1.909, reloading language files and checking the settings for a few minutes, I've initiated map update. The client responded with a crash (while the progress was at 0%).

One more crash: a few times navigate somewhere, stop navigation, navigate, show alternative routes, stop navigation. Navigate, List of favorites, choose one's right arrow (for more options, to display it on map). That was it.

An event popup displays the reporting wazer's icon including his group icon. The same wazer's details popup omits his group icon. Why? (This question is possibly not related to this particular client version.)

Another question is, how can one and the same user be "anonymous" on one popup and properly named on another popup, at the same time (time difference between the two screenshots was just 14 seconds)?

Whether these are client- or routing server-related...

I've reached my route's via (stop) point, its time disappeared from the ETA window, the next displayed turn already belonged to the following violet route, yet the client was still displaying also the rosa route (instead of rerouting me) - possibly because I was snapped to an adjacent segment few (tens of) meters displaced from my stop point.

Shortly prior to reaching another stop point (in the middle of a two-way segment), I've noticed that the violet route actually U-turns at the segment and goes back along the lila route (although it is perfectly possible (and usually faster) to continue straight).

After being navigated 15 minutes long, the client crashed upon tapping the right report button. I've not touched anything at least 5-10 min. prior to the crash.

I can sometimes see just fractions of event pop-ups, however on the screenshots they are fine. I guess rather a graphics subsystem problem? Or indeed Waze misusing it?

On stock Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.
