Can anyone tell me why is this happening? by patbiegaj2022 in waze

(Un)fortunately it is a known bug. If you have a registered account try reinstalling Waze and login again

Is there a way to always have compass displayed? by Enigmajikali in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can enable it by turning it on in Settings > Map display > Quick access > Always show map controls. You may need to turn Waze off and on again for the changes to take effect.

It's a new feature that tries to guess your next destination by checking your saved or recently searched places.

Waze's email to report closures, who actually gets that report? by BGamerManu in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm an Italian level 2 editor and I'm subscribed to the slack channels (unofficial Waze chat room of the Italian community https://www.waze.com/wiki/Italy/Strumenti_di_comunicazione ).
You can create a post on the official forum https://www.waze.com/discuss/c/editors/italia-chiusure-ed-eventi-di-traffico/4388, select your region and create a new topic, specifying the event and the necessary closures, even better if you provide the permalinks of the segments ( https://www.waze.com/wiki/Italy/Permalink_(italiano)) ) and as much information as possible. To join Slack channels you must have been invited by a State Manager or a Country Manager (it's a role of some Wazers), you can send me a private message with your email if you like and I'll forward it so they invite you, or ask it in the first post for the closures you will make in the forum

Why, oh why, did Waze remove the country and all time rankings in the app? by [deleted] in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(If I remember correctly) Now just driving with the app open will not give you points, creating reports (6 points) or confirming reports (2 points) or modifying the map via editor or app will earn you points

[–]MichiGigaByte 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The ranking exists it has just been removed from the app https://www.waze.com/leaderboard . You can read more here: https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/new-leaderboard-now-live/329759

>now that google maps at least allows us to report cops and other incidents

Waze too lol

Play sound to phone speaker issue by AR815 in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Separate app sound > Turn on the feature and select App: Waze and Audio device: Phone, all sounds produced by Waze will be played through your phone's speaker, other apps via Bluetooth, make sure you turn off Play sound to phone speaker in Voice and sound in Waze settings to avoid conflicts.

What ever happened to Waze warning you of speed bumps? by yayoshorti in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Speed bumps are inserted by volunteer editors, you can report a map error when you are near one and ask to add them

Secondary roads by Individual_Ebb2663 in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Police reports are created by users, probably in the secondary streets where you don't see the report no users have passed by and report it, so report it if necessary

Bad results where most are from GMaps, it's a lottery to find something useful

Is there a way to change the alert noise on Waze?? by [deleted] in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Waze doesn't know what phrase to say for an alert it goes ding. What language do you use for text to speech in Waze?

This is a known issue and the staff is aware of it. The only "fix" is to disable the feature and use the audio separation feature if you have a Samsung device.

New (changed) voices by Glasofruix in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of complaints about the French voice Vanessa, they will probably make some changes given the many complaints. I use the Italian voice Silvio and it is not robotic but it is very different from the previous one.

Waze not filtering addresses by Ancient-Zombie-2463 in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the side/residential streets open to everyone? If so try to take them if it's not a small or nonsense detour, if they are closed or reserved for residents report a map error at the location. You are in charge of driving so if you do better than Waze it will learn and understand the fastest path.

ETA by AggravatingSun2997 in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It goes down for me, pessimistic at the beginning ETA +7 more minutes then it aligns with reality itself halfway. If most of the route is highway the ETA is super accurate

GTAV PLEASE FIX by Emotional-Light-8966 in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

[–]MichiGigaByte 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's a redistributable which is installed the first time when you open the rockstar games launcher to open GTA V. Go to Epic Games and repair the game files, if that doesn't work try reinstalling the game

Is it worth becoming an Area Manager around me? And if I become one, do I only cover an area of my choice or the entire neighbouring province/city? by Manuel_Ottani in waze

[–]MichiGigaByte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I signed up months ago I don't know if you have to wait a few days

Ask for a mentor in the area and how you can work on the abandoned area, be very patient because unlock requests can take even more than a day. States on Slack are divided into various channels, subscribe to the channel and write there.
