I was a dedicated Wazer, until I changed phones back in November. After the change, I needed a new cable to connect to my car touchscreen system, and because of COVID I wasn't driving much, or far, etc., etc., etc.

Well, I got a cable, connected up, and the service is horrible. Latency is very bad. I am up to 100 yards past an intersection before my icon catches up, and the icon keeps changing speed. This should not be a problem with my phone. The reason I replaced the old phone was to get much more memory and much more chip speed so Apps worked better.

Although I have show speedometer checked, it isn't displaying, and it's not notifying me of the speed limit on the road, either.

The experience seems much less rich and informative than I remember it being.

Has anyone else noted that the performance of the Waze app isn't what it was?

It's been about a week, but I had none of those issues the last few times.

No issues when I’ve been using it lately.

I used Waze last week and it seemed to work just fine with my old phone. Not sure what's coming into play with your setup.

No issues with Waze here. I travelled about 195 miles today with no issues using it.

Your phone is fine. You need a new truck.

You can give me the old one.

Maybe I just have rush hour bandwidth problems out here tonight.

Thanks for the reports.

I use Waze on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ (Android).

I have the speedometer showing all the time, but it does have a quirk where if I'm going up or down a hill, or sharp turn the speed will fluctuate quite a bit (said I was going 45 while actual going 75, showed 90 when I was doing 50).

It's not the GPS, as I have other GPS apps that don't suffer the same issues. Not sure why it does with Waze.

I still prefer Waze over Google Maps.

It’s my 2nd week back full time in the office so I’m using Waze 2 to 4 times per day. I haven’t experienced any of those issues.

I used waze all day today. No problem.

It sounds like a carrier problem not a waze problem.

I get the same thing when I am out in the boonies. Not enough bandwidth.

I can usually see the problem as drooped bars in signal strength, but not always.

I do deliveries and use Waze a lot. I also sometimes experience the delays, usually with confusing turns or whatever coming up. Can't say it's a new issue.

Used it this past Sunday in N Texas and no issues.

I've had some of the same problems. I don't think it is the Waze app, rather Apple CarPlay / Lincoln SYNC 3 / Waze not playing nice together.

I understand that Google (which now owns Waze) is investing primarily in Google Maps and Waze gets the stepchild treatment.

I use it daily, no issues.

Vtail, why is your car full of eels?

Until today I’d have said I have had minimal issues with Waze. Today I was sitting in a hospital parking lot doing my paperwork for the call I was wrapping up. I set up a trip to the next place in Waze. I look up and see my speed going from 2 to 4 to 8 mph, only I’m sitting still. It did that for about 5 minutes til I hit the road. And it was laggy the rest of the trip.

I use it everyday, no issues.

No issues here.

Google bought them
