I'd like to piggyback on this, because for several months now, Waze will randomly and mysteriously consume my mobile data without any explanation of what it's doing or why, usually 2-3GB of data. I have a 5GB monthly plan, so I usually find out when I'm part way through the month via Android data usage alerts, but that's not helping me curtail or understand the sudden spike in data consumption.

visitors/ toursits to a location may not have a data roaming deal with any of the local providers. Have a data package for the Waze app use only. The user can put the sim card into their spare phone tablet or ipad. You can develop this with car hire companies who can put a simple tablet in the vehicle with your "data waze" only navigation sim card. Win - WIN for the car hire company, Waze and the customer.

Pienso que el Waze debería hacer una alianza con las compañías telefónicas de Colombia en donde cierto planes de datos disfruten de esta aplicación sin consumir sus datos.

Waze deveria ter conexão ilimitada com todas as operadoras de telefone TIM, Oi, Claro, Vivo, inclusive quando estiver em outro estado.
