Happens all over the place in Canada, too. It's annoying and counterproductive. Should be insanely easy to implement, so why they don't just take a few minutes and do so is beyond me. But then, they've got weird dev ideas there now compared to years ago. Not actually listening to users is both aggravating and odd.

Seems this may be more prevalent in Australia than most other places. I too have lost hundreds of kms (miles for the 'Mericans ;-) ) because of lost mobile phone signal. It is very frustrating - but i am sure there are a lot more funky things that the Waze team are working on! Like the Waze/Spotify integration - that doesn't work after latest updates.

I live and work in Rural Australia and commonly have hours of travel and hundreds of Kilometers missing from my Waze records. We need to be able to optionally turn on the ability to cache large amounts of data on our phones for upload later.

really is not yet functional, there is something that the community can do to facilitate the completion of the request. send logs or examples of routes to study?

If this is meant to be working, it didn't on a recent drive. I routed and panned the route prior to losing reception, however around 2 hours later towards the end, tiles had failed to load with the final 30 minutes or so a patchwork of missing tiles. This was an approximately 40km mountainous road.

The feature is availabile now. Please close the request!

This is fundamental. Some country roads don't have coverage, and I can't edit the road on WME afterwards.

Agree with everyone else. I used to be a big Waze advocate but lacking this feature is a fundamental flaw for a tragic app. And so begins the downfall of the great Waze...

Waze has lost a hell of a lot of credibility in Santa Cruz County this winter. Too many problem areas are out of cell range, and it's impossible to input updates until you're back on line. At which point Waze will auto pop your advisory in the wrong location.

I live in the mountains and I only get connectivity in spurts while driving. And it happens a LOT that I don't have sufficient signal to report major road issues like downed trees, mudslides, and accidents - especially this winter! This is something that really really really needs to be addressed.

This has been insane lately attempting to drive alternate routes besides CA-17 after the major rains in the south bay area. There are road closures everywhere, and in most of these backroads, people including me, can't report closures because it's difficult to get a network connection. One major alternate route had lots of cars going through it, yet, no one was able to report the closure due to network conditions. I've been told in the past that Waze doesn't want to support uncommon commuters, but seriously, even highway 17 itself loses connection during some parts.

No Kranky it is not working. When You see there is data, you signal, but sometimes after 20 sec, it doesn't work and Waze say: try later... lol , later I will be 1 or 5 km more far. Waze must stock the signal and send it when data is ok. loading must not be in the center of the map/ screen, very bad idea from the beginning.

They should really allocate what can't be a very large amount of time to get this working properly. It should be able to cache data until the phone runs out of storage space and should be able to then upload everything that is cached when either signal returns or you return to wifi.

Huge issue for me. should be a standard feature. wonder how many reports go unreported!

Since poor net coverage with a very limited access happens everywhere, so we should be able to store the data within the app and upload once the access to net is granted.

This is great. I have this problem many many time

This is huge for me. I live near a lot of mountains, and cell coverage is often spotty, but when I have no cell coverage, I can't gain any editing area to be able to go home and update the map problems in the area where I just traveled.

It's ridiculous because the amount of data we're talking about is very small. There's no reason this data couldn't be cached on any phone while waiting for a signal again, no matter how long it takes to get a signal again.

As a map editor, it's extremely frustrating to drive to an area that needs work, only to get back home and realize you received no credit for going out there because the cell signal sucks. We NEED to be able to edit this data, regardless of if we have network signal out there or not. Cache our GPS data or something.

Very frustrating when you drive 6 hours through Norway to find out none of the reports went through nor can i edit the route. The phone was offline (roaming) with the preloaded route from when I left the hotel.
I imagined the data would be uploaded when entering Sweden and acquiring my mobile network back but nop.
