Save and later upload client data for areas with limited cell and/or Wi-Fi only users.
The amount of data saved currently is insufficient to allow mapping of vast rural areas. Saving this data when storage is available and later uploading will speed the completion of your goals.

Just drove about 4000 miles.... about 2000 miles via 2 very different routes... For the return trip waze had no clue about the better route google and Garmin provided... I left waze on hoping waze would recall my route and thus be improved... but it looks like that didn't happen. I'm disappointed I was not able to confirm all the roads i drove on that waze clearly needs to know about...

I'd be surprised if any work was done on this at all.

Joshua commented
a update more recent then 2010 would be nice. What phones does this work on/not work on and how well? Not sure this works on my LG Motion 4g

Daucg commented
radar speed could be saved... and other warnnings...

As long as you don't lose your connection, yeah.

but at least we still can record the route, in order to make the map more perfect and complete.

Eduardo Benedicto commented
Not working for reports. It's impossible to report if data connection is lost.
Please save them for later. May 10 to 60 minutes is more than in off and no so out dated. And more for map error and some reports that are not time sensitive. -
Shorty-CM commented
Zero.

ahcheong commented
how's the progress now? since the last reply is on 2010
-
Shorty-CM commented
Yeah, it makes no sense. They already have existing code to upload saved crash/debug logs. Go figure.

*cough, cough* is this thing working? I've been with Waze for three years now, this uservoice topic has been ranked high ever since it was created in mid-2010 and still no candy.
Is it that hard to cache your data if the client loses connectivity and re-send once you're online?
Is it that hard to preserve that buffer between client sessions, rather than losing it on exiting?
Don't you care about average speeds and other mapping info in no-coverage areas?You say this is a commuting app and is thus interested in live data only. What if my daily commute takes me through a no-coverage area? Do we need to overlay network coverage maps on top of Waze and draw "HERE BE DRAGONS" landmarks all over coverage gaps?
I am a bit sad that Waze is not interested in parts of what we, the community, all strive to contribute - the road/gps data.
Please stop throwing bits of it away.

No change, I'm sure. Doubt they'll ever fix it, frankly.

João commented
how is this at the moment? can we have a clear explanation of the behaviour of waze in these situations?

Eduardo Benedicto commented
I really don't understand why they will not get +100KM of new road they need in order to have a more complete map. All that information just seating on my phone and no one can use it.
Service on a mountain road is intermittent. So save it for later or may be a more difficult but very nice solution is to make a WIFI broadcast and notify the cars around you in a P2P like comunication. ie. Broadcast an accident you just reported to the cars going on the other direction. -
Shorty-CM commented
Wish I knew. They might think the feature is currently working, but it doesn't seem to be working quite right. And it sure doesn't work as well as it could. Lately I have trouble even getting it to pave new roads at all, even with perfect connectivity.

Eduardo Benedicto commented
Why?
In order to understand why some parts where uploaded and same did't. (it looks like a doted line). -
Shorty-CM commented
Nope. :(

Eduardo Benedicto commented
I have a lot (~150 KM) of red tracks that I recorded on a trip and they where not uploaded. Its been 3 week and they are there.
Is there a way to push the to the server? -

I'm full of that. I spent some minutes driving like an idiot arround a small village, saying to people inside the car the amazing thing I was doing. The only thing I actually did was embarrace myself. I'll just wait for google to update they're maps.

Witch clients can do that? I do have an Android.
