When an unexpected event occurs—such a fire, a flood, or a large-scale accident—you can instantly broadcast critical information to help drivers avoid the area and reduce city-wide congestion. Ensure your community is prepared and safe with the essential details and instructions. Introducing our powerful new features, which allow you to broadcast critical traffic information and essential driving updates directly to millions of drivers with unprecedented reach. The Waze Champ status only appears in the forums as part of the user’s profile history when they post a message. If your rank is lower than what it should be (based on the criteria below), and you are NOT in the USA, please contact Support to have the team look into the situation.
- Also, when saving a large number of changes at once, the system will not credit you with more than 150 points each time you save changes.
- The system will then identify your rank among all other Waze users.
- The second table below shows you the translation of the two measurements system.
- Some countries with Self-Management may have different ranking systems.
Schedule your drive around traffic
The Waze client application Scoreboard displays your points and points rank compared to Everyone or your Facebook Friends for your country, your state (in the US) for Weekly or All Time, time frames. As you advance to higher levels your reporting permissions grow, as your reports get greater influence on real-time routing. This is tracked in the Waze client application as can be seen in the Waze client application Scoreboard. For those more interested in the details behind the calculations you can review this forum thread. Additional changes made to the point system are noted in this later forum thread. Based on the current point system, the Wazers who spend time on the web interface updating the map will generally accumulate the most points in any particular week.
Where can the road be closed?
The following table identifies the current badges in use in the forums. Membership in these groups requires approval by a country’s Self-Management and is applied to the forum by certain Champs or Waze administration. Our new Driving Advisories feature is a transformative capability that provides a direct line for authorities to inform drivers about important, essential traffic-related changes and regulatory updates. This tool lets you share key details and actionable information, helping drivers prepare for changes.
Waze uses a point system to track usage of the the Waze client application, and also when you use the web interface to make edits to the map. Depending upon what actions you perform will determine how many point you earn. These points are currently used to define your status and “rank” in points compared to all ways to stop taking wellbutrin other users in Waze. Most forum questions are answered by these users as they give their time freely to the Waze community.
If your goal is to get a lot more points than you have now, you should consider investigating updating the map for your area. For a basic street, with low traffic, the closure will appear immediately for 30 min. It will be extended if another user confirmes the closure. Notified drivers will be included in the impact dashboard in Partner Hub, allowing you to see the tangible results of your communication and how you’ve made a difference in keeping your city moving.
- Other road goodies often coincide with special holidays and will appear in random locations on the map.
- For complex events that affect a large area, our enhanced tools allow you to define the entire zone of impact.
- The bonus points can only be earned once unless otherwise noted.
- To reach the Royalty level (crown icon), you need to be in the top percentage of all Wazers in your locality (in the US, this is determined by state).
- Bonus candies only appear at road junctions and generally get placed on the road along your current path.
What’s the Difference Between a Change and an Edit?
In the map editor, any change is counted by the counter on the Save icon. For example, if you select 10 segments which need their city changed, once you tap Apply, the change counter will increase by one. The editor will count these mass edits as one “unsaved change” per mass edit, so the count tracked on the WME screen is not the points you will collect.
Waze Points Level (in client app)
Every night the Waze system will calculate all the points that you accumulated for each activity through the day. The system will then identify your rank among all other Waze users. Your rank will generally change on a daily basis, until you get very high in the ranking. We want to continue to make a real-world impact by doubling down on helping cities address mobility problems such as congestion, safety, sustainability and cost. In order for us to achieve this we will be retiring the Waze Carpool service to focus the company’s efforts on better supporting drivers on the road today. For complex events that affect a large area, our enhanced tools allow you to define the entire zone of impact.

The bonus points can only be earned once unless otherwise noted. In the first example, those 10 segments changed all at once will get you credit for 10 edits. In the second example, those 10 changes will get you credit for 1 edit.
The Waze team is working on a different approach to this status. The top percentage is calculated once a month, and if more and more Wazers get points, it’s possible that the total amount needed to reach shield / sword / crown will actually go up. To reach the Royalty level (crown icon), you need to be in the top percentage of all Wazers in your locality (in the US, this is determined by state).
Waze Champs
You receive a different number of points for each activity as listed in the tables below. Note that the number of points you get for distance related activities is different when measured in miles and in kilometers. In effect you get the same points for the same physical distance.
What Is a Map Edit?
The second table below shows you the translation of the two measurements system. You can see your points and rank from the web interface by selecting My Dashboard, or from the client application you can select the Menu, then My Waze, then the Scoreboard. Select the following link for information on the other sections of the My Dashboard page. “Waze has been instrumental in helping us get real-time information out to the traveling public.” 4 New street names only count if the street has not been named already. If you’d like to respond to this post, please do so on this cross post in the Products Forum or reach out to your Community Manager.
Currently moving from one rank to the next higher rank is not automatic and needs assistance from Waze support. USA based editors should refer to the Editing rank USA section. Other road goodies often coincide with special holidays and will appear in random locations on the map. Each type of candy has a set value and they are typically between 3 and 10 points.
