For those of you having problems with Waze crashing when you start a route:
I have found an issue (on 3 installs and two phones) where Waze crashes while plotting my route home, OR to any point that requires passing through a certain point on the road, and only in one direction (nothing weird on the map)

I found a workaround that will get the route, at least if the route involves a freeway:
Go to navigation settings and turn ON 'avoid freeways'
Select the route. (Waze should not crash now (at least, it doesn't anymore for me))
Go back to navigation settings and turn OFF 'avoid freeways.'
The first time you deviate from the route you already started, Waze will recalculate the route. In my case, it now successfully routes me through the mystery spot that was causing the crashes before.
I don't know why this works...but it does...

Error in Windows Phone

Good Night,
The following issues exist when using the version of Waze for Windows Phone

1 - When searching for gas stations on the route, does not appear as the price of Android, this hinders the use of this functionality

2 - When doing any action, or recalculate the route in 3D mode, the mode of loading is forever and not go out, you need to return, saying he does not want to close the program to modal out

3 - When sending the route to a friend, there is only 2 options, sms or email, it is not possible to send the route to other applications like for example Whats app

1- I'm going to have to try and play around with it, I don't use the gas feature much, so I haven't noticed that.

2 - That is normal, it is a known issue, but is not likely to be fixed anytime soon. At least it can be cleared out by pressing the back button.

3 - Right, they didn't get that far in development. A copy to clipboard function would have been nice so you put link it anywhere.

2 - Hmm .. It is a known problem? Can I help solve? I am a developer .. I already identified that the problem does not happen when you remove all the optional view as traffic line, see other wazers, view radar, etc .. Must be something in any of these optional views ..

3 - I really like Windows Phone, I believe he should have the same facilities as the Android ..

Thank U

One issue, Nokia 820 hardware running OS 8.0.10328.78. Waze App (latest on the Marketplace) 3.7.3.208.

1) When a route is started, it calculates the route well. When the go button is pressed there is no "Let's get started, Drive Safe" message like on Android or IOS. Though this may be normal.

2) When a route/navigation is active, the navigation button still says navigation. There is no way to cancel an currently navigated routed unless you choose a new route or you close the app entirely and re-open it.

1: no idea...
2: you can cancel navigation by pressing the navigation bar at the bottom.

Is anybody on GDR3 yet? In the Beta forums some users reported that the battery drain was much less on GDR3.

I updated my Lumia to GDR3 today and will test the battery drain tomorrow.

The battery still drains...

I haven't been able to test much, but it seems my charger can keep up with the drain since I upgraded to Lumia Black last week...

Favorites are linked to your account, not to the phone. If you change your username on the WP8 phone to the one you used on Android, your favorites should sync. If that doesn't work, a reinstall should do the trick.

Same here
