"The highly popular Waze navigation application for iOS has Wednesday received an update bringing the application up to version 3.7.3. Google acquired Waze in June of this year and has been slowly integrating many of its features including the Waze Incident Reports into the Google Maps application, but that doesn't stop Waze fans from using the Waze application itself, and it has just gotten better with today's update. The update makes it so that the Map interface in the application appears much cleaner by only showing certain incidents and items on the map based on their distance from the user. In addition, duplicate reports are now grouped together under one to reduce the amount of clutter. In addition, the Waze team added a new Sleep Mode, which will freeze the Waze navigation system and allow you to resume when you're ready rather than shutting down the navigation system altogether. Bug fixes and stability improvements were also a critical part of today's update. Existing users of the Waze application will find the update under the Updates tab in the App Store. Alternatively, you can download the latest version of the Waze application from the iOS App Store via this link. Sources: App Store"

Yeap... love it. One of the most frequently use app for me.

I just learned that Jailbreak Cydia App: "AssistantLove"  Sends all my Siri navigation voice commands directly to Waze. (works great)

This is an older video but still shows how it still works.

Still absolute junk to me lol,

Takes me to the wrong places and the wrong way (compared to the tomtom app)

Shares my location to Facebook as "."

That's if I do it from the phone as sharing ain't allowed from headunit

Hmm I've only used it a few times, worked great for me.  I'll post if I have wrong place issues.   I have TomTom as well but haven't used it in awhile ever since Google Maps became king. 

Well I have used nearly every navi app none to man at this point from built in in-dash to iOS based navi apps and I can say that Waze has been the most useful and accurate of any of them. I deliver pizzas for my side job and I use Waze on every run. It is the only navi app that has 95% of the time taken me right to the door of the address I am looking for. Most other apps will take from anywhere from a couple of addresses to a couple of blocks to the address you are looking for. I don't what kind of tech those Israelis are using for their navi but it works damn well.

Tried Waze for the first time yesterday, and the first two times it never displayed on the radio screen, and then when it did, it was completely out of aspect, and i got the red X trying to use the screen on the radio.

6.1.3 4S on DA110 AR3(not sure on AR3 firmware)

So if thats par for the course for waze, it will get deleted immediately.

Plug the phone into the unit and then make sure the external unit setting is turned on in the Waze app.

I never thought about checking settings with it plugged in, i went thru the menu with it unplugged.

In your experience with Navi apps, why does apple maps (default map app button) get so choppy when its in max zoom, it doesnt do that on the phone.

All navi apps even indash navis can do that. Its called a redraw when the unit tries to display the map info on the screen but the forward motion is moving faster then the processor of the unit can redraw the image.

The iOS Waze option to display external only appears once your iPhone is physically connected to the AppRadio.  (you won't find this option in Waze while unplugged)

After I plugged it in to the radio, it stayed in the menu even while unplugged. 

To be honest, after the horrible first waze experience (due to my own lack of trying) i am fairly impressed with the app, its a little jumpy in close zoom and needs a few more tweaks IMO but over all the best Appradio specific Navi app i have experienced so far IMO (and i dont use any of the social network stuff in the app, i deleted my facebook account months ago)

I had the same problem with getting Waze working correctly on the Appradio 3. Took me awhile to figure out the external unit setting. It works now and it's pretty dang cool!

The Map that shows up on the Head Unit when you select the Map button is not Apple's map. I believe this is sourced by the AppRadio app from somewhere, but I'm not sure where from.

When you say choppy do you mean that the image is jagged? Or are you saying that the map doesn't follow you well while you're driving?

For those who find that Waze doesn't get them to the right place; remember Waze's data is community sourced. If you're finding there are errors in your area then you can make the corrections/improvements yourself.

At very least report the errors and report the incorrect route so that map editors in your area can fix it. 

It should be noted that if Waze gives directions to a street only, and does not list the requested house number that means that Waze does not have house numbers for that street. This means you might end up on the wrong end of the street, or even on another branch of the street that is not connected to where you currently are. If this happens, report a map error and state the house number at least of where you are.

To be honest, though, the TomTom app will probably have much better directions. What they won't have is community reported traffic and constantly updated speed. Even if you subscribe to the traffic reporting in the TomTom app it won't be as current as Waze or as accurate (especially if there are many Waze users in your area).

The Map that shows up on the Head Unit when you select the Map button is not Apple's map. I believe this is sourced by the AppRadio app from somewhere, but I'm not sure where from.

Pioneer states for the default app "

"View maps as you would on your iPhone® or Androidâ„¢ device. Functionality is bundled with the Pioneer AppRadioâ„¢ app."

 Which it really doesnt matter if its Apple Maps or Google Maps, i figured that was the default for a iOS coupled device. If it is a replication of apple and google maps, then that explains the choppiness

Choppy as in, even tho the phone and the radio have a antenna to receive a GPS signal, tracking of location is choppy where it isnt in other Navi apps i have used

Navi apps in general will hit the GPS harder than "regular" maps app. They need to have a more precise location to be able to figure out if you took that exit or not. Also, they'll likely do predictive movement, either based on the sensors or just guessing. (I know that Waze does this since you can watch it show you going down the wrong road when you've missed a turn until it actually catches up with where you are.

I have Waze, my iphone5 and my newly installed AppRadio3  working I can use the touchscreen to select and navigate.  

What I am not getting is the voice navigation,  NO Sound???

Any Ideas what I am missing?

TIA

Go into Waze settings and make sure audio isn't set to BT.

Not a fan of this app but I do use it from time to time.  I'm not into the whole social part which is its strong point so I'm not the right audience for it I guess.

However, I wish this app added three things:

1) Posted Speed Limit Signs (heavily requested)

2) The ability to keep the map zoomed out to a certain scale (hate the auto zoom "back" in feature)

3) Possibly download map data so it'll still work w/o a data connection (if need be)

I'm sure there will be some changes along the way now that Google owns it.  I wonder if they are going to keep this a separate product vs. Google Maps or if they we'll eventually merge the two into one product someday.  Wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Popular Waze GPS App for iOS Updated With Voice Search and Other Improvements

Published on 11-06-2013 06:45 AM

On Wednesday, the highly popular Waze GPS application for iOS has been updated, bringing the application up to version 3.7.6. Waze touts over 50 million users, all of which can work as a team to report issues on the road and help improve the driving experience for everyone by warning everyone of what's to come. Google acquired Waze back in June of this year.

Wednesday’s update to the application brings the ability to use your voice to search for addresses and locations that you want to navigate to. What’s more is Waze’s voice input supports over 45 different languages. This can be helpful while you're on the go because you can simply talk to Waze about where you want to go instead of using all of your attention to manually type in addresses that you want to navigate to.

The Waze application has also been given improved support for iOS 7, and improved settings with a new help section and improved control over sound alerts that the application might give you. General bug fixes have also been added to make the application run as smoothly as possible for all users.

Existing users of the Waze application for iOS will find the update under the Updates tab in the App Store for free. Alternatively, you can download the latest version of Waze for iOS for free from this App Store link for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Navigation lists no longer scroll on my AppRadio 3 touchscreen!

You can no longer touch, scroll, or drag the following:

1) "Recents" list on the main "Navigate" screen,

2) "Favorites" list, and

3) "Search results" list after I pick a Category. All other touch functions work

This had occured in a previous update which was fixed. Doh!

Did anyone else with AR3 and iphone 5 update waze?

I have lost touch controls in various screens. Can't seem to find anyone else on the web stating the same issue since the recent release 3.7.6.0

I've got an AR2 and am experiencing these same scrolling issues, but only on search results for me. I've been able to scroll on favorites. This is with an iPhone 5 fwiw.

This has always been the case for me so nothing new.

Has this always been the case, or after updating to the new release?
