We found comments in specialized forums reporting that Waze, one of the most used GPS navigators in our country, is presenting operating problems and confusing its users. Most of them complain about changes in language and display settings. We tell you everything we know so far.
Waze is one of the most used navigation applications worldwide. Its benefits compared to the rest of the navigation apps are known by many of us: it not only offers us information on how to get to our destination. In addition, it allows us to have updated information about any incident that may affect our route.
In this way, we can anticipate possible accidents, traffic jams or even police controls that are causing traffic jams on our roads, offering us a similar alternative route. However, it seems that their servers are having problems and their users have started reporting the same. Most of them complain about changes in language settings and display settings.
Meaningless language changes
One of the main complaints we find on the internet is the constant changes in the language that are causing confusion among its users. Regardless of the device being used, it seems that Waze has unilaterally decided to change the settings and communicate in a language other than Spanish.
When users set the language correctly again, the settings are not saved and instructions continue to be given in a random language. A situation that can be dangerous if we take into account that it is an application that we use while driving and that any indication that we do not understand can cause some confusion on the road. So we recommend that you be careful if you are going to use it soon. At least, until the bug is corrected.
In addition, not only the language changes, but also the route display settings. So the information seems to be confusing drivers, who are not used to the way the data is being presented.
Downdetector confirms it
In addition to the complaints that we found on the internet, the specialized page Downdetector confirms the drop in service. Reporting a significant peak in complaints a few minutes ago and maintaining it until now.
It seems that this is a specific failure and we are sure that Waze will correct it in the shortest possible time to continue providing the excellent service it always does. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is look for an alternative, like Google Maps, if we are going to hit the road during the next few hours and we want a reliable GPS to take us to our destination.
