Waze in South Australia
Hello from SA!
To be honest, I was thinking I'd be the first one in Adelaide - wasn't I in for a surprise! Not only had a few roads in my area been mapped, but Anzac Highway - the main road from the city to the beach, near where I live - was perfectly set, both lanes defined and everything! But, not to be slack, I have been running Waze every time I go somewhere - albeit cheating a little due to using busses. I say it counts, they still use the roads.
BUT... after having such a blast watching the little guy chomping away at the dots, and steamrollering my way on some new roads, I got home to perfect my efforts, and... nothing. Trying to get cartouche to behave itself is a lesson in patience! It seems to run OK for a little while in Google Chrome, which is more than I can say for Firefox and Safari, and lots more than IE8. But, after updating the roads I had travelled, it now won't load anything - no roads, no aerial shots, nothing but a blank Australia. Somewhat soul crushing, really, as I was hoping I'd be able to get my area mapped out and looking sexy and shiny and stuff. Ah well, with luck an area manager will appear soon and polish it all up. I'd nominate myself, if only I knew how to make it work.
All the same, I can't wait till this catches on hard, and I will continue to hope for a miracle and have cartouche work quickly and elegantly on my computer. One can hope!
