It does use a lot of power. I make sure to keep the car charger handy whenever I use it.

It even does this when i minimize the app and open pandora. Pretty cool!

Use it every day on my commute on long island. Best app ever!

:tup:Def handy for city commutes...not so handy rurally but still a cool app.ima run it for trips on interstate for sure :tup:

The more we "use and report" the better it works. I feel like I'm on a cop hunting trip whenever I drive now. That is fun!

Citizens unite!

I started using the app after seeing this thread. it's great.

quick question- is the update rate when it comes to other drivers' locations slow for everyone else? like if you see another user, their location doesn't update for 30 seconds or more?

That's how it is for everyone. There's two reasons for that. A) their servers can't handle updating everyone's position every few seconds and B) privacy (do you really want everyone to know exactly where you are)

still works great on the S3, get up to minute updates on whats going on, no other better way of communicating with fellow Zers and drivers :tup::driving:

I have started using this myself.

Pretty good.

It got confused on a 10 mile strech where I was on the Interstate and then it thought I was off of it. Kept telling me to get back on!!!! I was wondering if I was bouncing between 3G & 4G?

I had a short roadtrip this weekend (2.5 hours each way) and I was suprized to see how many other Wazers were on the road.

I use it for all my trips now because I am trying to build up points.

I have to use the car charger though -- it eats up the battery faster than the charger can charge with a Droid Bionic.

On iPhone the charger keeps battery full with WAZE always on.

I have had a similar issue of the app thinking I was off on a side road twice (out of hundreds of uses). Try resetting your phone. That helped when it happened to me.

Happy hunting!
