I've had Waze share GPS with other apps fine. Waze is much more sensitive than any other app in the sense that it will lose GPS or network connection while all other apps are working fine.

Yesterday again, Samantha vanished and i got routing w/o street names. Then during the drive I got a couple of "... a left on <streetname>" where the beginning was clipped off, then I got full directions for the rest of the drive.

I'm guessing that there are connectivity issues with the server that's doing Samantha, or problems with the server itself, since a number of people seem to be reporting issues in the last few days.

If you search the forums and read the wiki you will find that you can navigate to coordinates, and you can select a spot on the map and navigate to it.

If Waze directs you the wrong way on a one-way street, that's not an app issue, that a problem with the map. When that happens, please report the problem so that it can be fixed. Click on the Report button, select the map issue icon, then check turn not allowed, and hit send. If you have time, add some text to your report saying what happened. Otherwise an editor will likely contact you with questions to make sure that they know what problem you encountered.

I'm just started using Waze, and I'm running a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo GT-S5310. When I try to "Send ETA -> Share Drive", as in this screenshot, I can't actually see what the buttons show (and on some occasions, the map is larger and I can't see the buttons at all).

Unfortunately, the screen doesn't allow for scrolling, so it is impossible to actually send the link. This could be fixed by allowing this screen to scroll where necessary.

Thanks, SocalToe, that is a decent workaround. Would be good if such a trick weren't needed though - scrolling the screen feels more "obvious".

I reported a problem with two speed cameras close by on the UK forum; posting a link here so it's recorded on the feedback thread:

When you map alternative routes, you see a glimpse of the alternatives

THEN

It zooms way in somewhere and you don't have a clue where you are..........

The

'Ready to Go' screen.

They do show up in landscape.

Thought this was fixed:

Get a route to location A

Add stop location B

Everything's fine.


Waze recalculates........

Stop at location B is gone.....
