What's worse that even if Gas Preferences menu shows up and you make your choices next session with no menu showing up ignores those choices.

This is both a shame and a pitty. Please get this useful feature back in the app.
It is all still there. Just put your car on autopilot and start typing into search box. :lol: Of course now you need two hands and a lot more attention to correct search input and less attention to the road.

I agree. Bad move.

It zooms way in somewhere and you don't have a clue where you are..........
This issue has been reported in beta forum. Waze has not been able to reproduce :?: so bug report got closed.

I am able to reproduce this behavior on all my devices specially with longer routes. Alternate routes are shown for split second then in zooms in the middle of nowhere.

I'm new on waze, i tried to install it for the first time just yesterday. AND it wasn't a good experience. I can't manage to have the app working.

When lauching for the first time i was able to create an account. But when waze came on the map it immediately crashed and "back to desktop".

Every time i launch waze it displays the map just for a second and then close without letting me doing anything on waze.

I can send to a dev the lastcrsh plist.

BUT: i can have waze working by reinstalling AND not to loggin!!!! Since i login it crash. If i stay anonymous user i can use it.

I'm using last version of waze and ipad mini retina 64g with 3g.

Thanks for getting this app work!
Since you are using ipad you may get better help here:viewtopic.php?f=3&t=73103

Any ideas on how to solve this? I have no issues with Google Maps.
Try this. In search box type in:

I received a message in my inbox, but I'm unable to reply because my keyboard does not appear when my cursor is in the reply box. I am using an HTC Rezound (Verizon).

This thread is for feedback about the app itself, not for stuff related to the map. Please don't cross post, especially in a thread unrelated to your post.

Hi All,
I have found a bug in Waze - it takes me sometimes through the petrol station - without any real reason. It happened to me already few times, with different versions. This is a screenshot from the latest version. By the way, most of the times it navigates on that road just fine.

SCREENSHOT:

Best regards,

This has been doing my head in. I'm not getting any voice prompts (not even English) ever since the update to 3.7.7.0....
Also, now there are only 3 app languages available for me in general settings - Hebrew, English and Chinese. It used to show a lot more than that (I use Russian).
Other than that, great job. Loving the new UI.
LT26i Xperia S.
Having the same issue, stuck @ 70%, reinstalled and stuck on 94%.
Using Nexus 5 - Kitkat 4.4.2
I'm having the same issue too! Download always stucks at 7%. For ANY language trying to download.

Developers'm using Waze as the primary navigation system in my Galaxy Note to open the alert record and return to the map is the same map with the all black with no possibility of viewing, so I re-display the map have to close The Waze and open it again but preventing me from registering alerts. Please check this bug.
