Driving the bus yesterday with two other waze users on board
all logged in and each one showing the current position of that person exactly ( al three of us in sync) BUT it didn't show the other two wazers as being with them. Then one user said that i was shown as being at a junction i had passed 5min previously. Her icon was somewhere else on the route we had taken as was the other persons.SO does anyone who uses waze known the 'refresh' time. It looked very strange that on my ipad i was travelling in realtime, yet was approaching myself on another device.

They deliberately hide your position from other Waze users rather than show them in real time. I thought it was a couple of minutes, but have never tested it.

I believe it is about a minute or two behind.

You're using an ipad while driving a bus and chatting to other passengers?

Alpha,
It isnt a PSV bus but is classified as one, the other two were co workers
I have an Android phone not an ipad, ( the other two had an ipad and iphone)
My phone is on a holder
apologies for not making it clearer
