I use it. Great for spotting the jams and giving a live indication of length of them

Me too if I'm going any distance, as Force64 says it's great for spotting and possibly avoiding jams and slow-downs. Thumbs Up

I couldn't tell you the version of mine, it's on my iPhone 6 which I've just today sent off for repair Big Cry

All I can say is it would be the latest iPhone version, it's always on auto update.

Righty. I am on the latest version running on Android. I use the Send ETA feature so the Mrs can track me on the way home from rallies. With the version before this, clicking Send ETA worked better, now its more long winded to Send ETA.

How do you register friends on Waze? I am not on any social media outlets to share my contacts with on the tablet which runs Waze.
Is it via Contacts from the device or do they need to Sync from another source? 1999 Defender TD5 110

If correct you need go to 'my Waze', 'Friends' and then you should be able to see a logo in the upper right corner to select someone from your contact list.

From the bottom left if I press the little snail like symbol > My Waze > My friends in the upper right hand corner I have a X

However if from the bottom left if I press the little snail like symbol then press Navigate > Friends then I get the + symbol in the top right hand corner, pressing that icon I then have the option to Find Friends from Contacts.
Once I select that option, I then get a screen with "Search contacts" and graphic with "No friends on Waze?" but no ability to search/select contacts.??

Do I need to setup a contact in a certain way for Waze to see them ? 1999 Defender TD5 110

Using it right now. Tend only to use it if I am sat in the passenger seat - good for spotting jams but it can be a bit random on the navigation.

To be honest, can't beat the native iPhone Maps for navigation, for me at least... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
