App map and Live Map on PC

Post by karl_db
There seems to be a real problem here in Ireland. When I open the app, I don't see any Wazers, even though there are reports and it tells me that there are Wazers out there. Also when I look on the Live Map on my PC or MAC, it shows no Wazers in Ireland. When I scroll to Europe and the UK there are Wazers in abundance. This latter issue seems to be around for a long time now, which makes me feel that Ireland's Wazers are not considered with any importance whatsoever.

The app has never, and will never, show all the current visible wazers primarily due to performance levels. The number previously was a max of 40 wazers in any view on the app.

While there is obviously a problem on "live map" - confirmed by testing with friends, may have something to do with poor G3 signals and inferior internet. If you patiently wait zoomed out four levels (Scale = 1 : 2M) on your PC/MAC/LT/ Tablet and keep the area where you wish to see users to the sides/top/bottom of your screen you are likely to see more, somehow!

Also feel many Irish users "Go invisible" from "My Waze" on the client. Most that are showing both here and in UK are "Anonymous". The client does not seem to show all local users, though the beeps keep coming. Of course some of them could be from Timbuktu!!!

I understand its being worked on.

Enjoy the great weather! Safe driving.

I've seen this behaviour too - I only occasionally see other Wazers in the app, even though I know they're out there somewhere.

However, there are other threads elsewhere on the forum discussing this, and I think it's a worldwide problem - at least in the app; they may be showing up OK in the Live Map.

I think Waze are aware of the problem so hopefully that means they're working on fixing it...
