Shouldn't be. Did you perhaps do it to stop the "when stopped popups"?

It's only currently (should be!) on the original popup message, not in the inbox.

The setting is available in the 'preference' file.

Code: Select all

GPS.Show coordinates: yes
Yep

Even when I modify zoom level to zoom in, it change itself and go back to a zoom out level too bad !
Isnt' that because you have autozoom on? Or if not, then yes, I consider it a bug that zoom changes even in manual mode.

In this case, I can't see where i should turn.
Yes, that is bad, and the road name should be aligned the other direction. In autozoom mode, as you get closer, the map zooms in and the name no longer will cover the intersection (usually).
Perlin has acknowledged a few times that placement of the street names in purple will continue to be tweaked in future versions.

'Cue the trumpets! You were the top sco...' (I can't see the rest of the message because it cut off in the messages notification list, but, I'm guessing it has something to do with scoring in the previous week)
"Cue the Trumpets" is quite an old-style message. It used to appear every Tuesday morning for the Top 3 Wazers in each "area." This was turned off some time ago and hasn't been seen since. It could definitely be part of some testing they are doing for a future update.

So how do I make them pop up when stopped?
Our ability is more limited at this time/version: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... 38#p358338

skybounder wrote:Thanks Alan. If I understand it correctly - I should still see nearby events, but at present getting none. When I have a chance, will review via the reports menu and see if there should be some popping up.
I've received something like 4 traffic popups when stopped at a light since December. It's very limited. And to add to this information, Light and Moderate traffic reports are filtered out completely. This should be finally documented somewhere. But it's a feature in transition and not sure if the FAQ is the right place for it.

Yes! (Nice work!) Post the date/time you uploaded so Perlin can connect the logs with the issue.


Tapatalk made me do it.

What is misaligned? All I see is that the name has wrapped, which is what should happen.

Long-term road closures (greater than a few days) should be handled via the editor: roads disconnected at each end from the rest of the road network. This is covered in the wiki documentation.
