Hamilton

Post by amartinnz
Hi people,

Have been a Waze user for a few days, based in Hamilton. There are alot of unknown roads in my area, so I have become an Area Manager for Hamilton so I can help get them sorted.

I notice in a few other forums people complaining about area managers that don't create junctions etc correctly and don't connect roads, so has anyone got some documentation on the best practises?

Also, once I have made changes on Cartouche, how long typically until I see these new roads / changes show up on my Waze device?

kiwilad30 you have done well around Cambridge, did you do a lot of driving, or somehow get some better aerial photos to get everything mapped out?

Which parts of Hamilton were you in that had problems? All the areas I drive in are well and truly tidy, but you might have been driving through areas that I don't go to (like Rototuna etc).

Hi and Welcome.

There are two issues in maps.
First it can take 2 or 3 days for update -> live
Subsequently you device might not pick up the changes.
It will eventually, but if Live has been updated you can delete the data cache in your phone.
Settings->Data Usage-> Refresh.

Next mission = Rotorua (which looks maybe 50% so far)
I suspect that figure is a bit optimistic

Looks like Rotorua is next on my hit list

I didnt have any problems with waze 2.x - immediately suffered lock-up and restarts with Waze 3.x
It appears to be a common problem with the Galaxy S - it's a work phone, and not due for upgrade for a wee while yet either...
I had the same problem with my motorola defy but with waze version 3.0.2.8 it is now rock solid

The WME is now quite good (not perfect)

If waze can fix a few things I supect it will take off?

Why don't you go back to 2.x ?

ok guys, what's going on in Hamilton

I think I must have done major road mapping in all NZ city's except Hamilton.

I visited Hamilton this weekend and i must says its a nice place..........but what's up with your Waze roads?

Needs a lot of junctions and missing roads fixed.

Hamilton scares me because I don't know the place and I think working with a clean slate is easier
