Used it yesterday and seems to work well.

However I still cannot find the PH Group. I search for Pistonheads and it says "No results"but if I say create a new group called Pistonheads it says that it already exists! headache

I think you can only join local groups - IIRC I joined the Pistonheads group while visiting some relatives in Hartlepool, so I guess it must be 'based' up there?




However this would require taking your car into Hartlepool.

I have just download the App this morning ... tried searching for PH but cant find it... (I work Bracknell) so im just finding local ones...I let you know how I get on in a few weeks.
I dont know if the developers read these posts but it would be really handy if you could create a itn file.

I've been using Waze for a few weeks now. Gotta say it's an absolute treat. The routes it sends me on require a giant leap of faith but on the whole it pays off. Great bit of kit especially given it's a freebie. Puts NavFree in the shade as is as good - if not better - than my Road Angel due to real time route updates.

I've just downloaded this. Looks very interesting.

The Trafficmaster Freeway transmitters have been switched off so I was looking for an alternative.

It's a pity they don't have a version for Windows Phone (using a Nokia 710 at the moment as my android phone (rooted Atrix with custom Jelly Bean ROM) is gobbling up it's battery power).

Rumourmill is that Apple might buy Waze, I hope, and this is owning a Macbook Pro, iMac, 2 iPhones and and iPad that they dont - they make great hardware but seem to screw up software

I've been using the new Google Maps iPhone App for navigation recently, think I prefer it. Waze is good but occasionally the routes aren't optimal.

Tried mine just now, all was as it should be.
Glad to hear yours sorted itself out, sounds like it was a glitch with the waze server.
