System. Was happening well before the client release.

Jail broken users, as noted previously in this thread, should disable and location faking features. Thankfully now people will be prohibited from using another cheat to gain driving miles and points.

I disagree. This is the first version it had ever actually locked north up ever. We disabled the ability to spin the map on purpose: you're in lock north-up mode, and that is exactly what it does, at all times and in all situations.

I agree and in believe Perlin said the on-map button may get the functionality in the future and the setting un-buried.

The "me on map" button ... doesn't even do anything when north-up is locked. And when it isn't, it returns to track-up, which I don't want to do.[/quote]
Not for me. If you pan the map, "me on map" returns to centering on me remaining in north up lock mode. I can't get it to unlock ever.

Even though, actual North-Up function is buried within menu, this is a nice alternative in the mean time. Please see image below.
That one doesn't work reliably. It's why the new option in settings was created.

Listed in the app itself in the scoreboard section.

Enter "editor rank" in the Quick Help box.

Make sure you Stop the route, if it isn't finished yet, before you Switch Off Waze. It will try to re-start the previous route which was active on shutdown if it doesn't think you've arrived yet.

I never had any crashes with the last beta prior to release nor with 3.7, so I can't speak to that. I've read that the EventVerified bug has been fixed in the 3.7.1. Release date TBD.

They show the shield data first, and primary street name if no shield exists. Previous discussion of this started with the beta version which included the purple labels: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... 41#p354941

The first announcement of a turn, depending on speed, at the 1 mile mark, or .6 mile mark, has never said the street name. There are three announcements for a turn and the first one has never said the street name, unless it is under a 1/2 mile, in which case the first announcement is usually at 1/4 mile. Only the 2nd and 3rd (if there is time/distance for a third one)
