Waze on Blackberry Z10
Hi guys!
As some of you might have noticed, Waze is currently supported on Blackberry Z10 devices!
The Blackberry version was converted with the help of the Blackberry experts and is actually a porting of the Waze 3.6 Android app. It is thus designed for the Z10 touch-screen phone and not the keyboard based version. As this is the first version, there are some issues we are working with the experts to try and resolve.
The main limitations are related to the different Z10 hardware versions, whereas there are 2 early versions of the hardware (STL100-1 and STL100-2) on which the Waze porting is not working properly and a new one (STL100-3) on which Waze functions well. Having said that, there is a minimal OS version (10.0.10.648) for Waze to function properly and problems have been detected in older OS versions. OS versions are released by the different operators and as such are not under control of Waze.
Known issues (for the STL100-3 and OS 10.0.10.648 and above):
1. No scrolling enabled in the Inbox menu
2. Time on ETA bar is GMT/UTC shifted (when showing initial route screen it is correct) and so time appears in an offset (except for UK)
3. Scoreboard is not displayed
4. (Internal) GPS points are not received in time-based order (filtered in client)
All installation, crashes and voice prompts related issues seem to be linked to the STL100-1 and STL100-2 versions or OS versions lower than 10.0.10.648
A workaround which has been found to be efficient in some cases, is switching Waze to work in 2D mode map display, instead of the default 3D (this is done in the main setting menu, first setting row).
We hope you enjoy this version and will appreciate your feedback on it!
