I just got around to trying this app, not having noticed the posts about the google purchase, API changes and reduced functionality. It looks to me like it's completely dead now. I tried to sign up with the "new user" button, and I was able to pick a user name and password, but this combination doesn't work on the waze.com website.
Also navigation never appears, there are no events, etc. I see a warning about a GPS problem . . .
I have it and use it without much problems (occasional crash). I get warnings and navigation as well. Maybe a problem with your install. Also occasionally the program refuses to do searches when waze is doing something with their servers. Happened to me for a long while.
Maybe it is. Since repo.pub.meego.com is gone, I had to get it from a mirrored repository.
However, since I didn't see any errors when installing and the application does launch and run, I'm still more inclined to believe that the new user registration isn't working anymore.
hey guys, does waze still works in N900 as of today? can anyone managed to get this working on N900? I have it installed in my N900, but it kept searching for network even though i am already connected to 3G (or wifi)
Location setting was set to:
GPS setting: supl.google.com
GPS status: Fine Accuracy (Satellite icon on the menubar is solid as in not blinking)
Here's a screenshot of waze on my n900..not sure why but sometimes the km/h is between 0-7km/h lol..
I can search for places from "Drive to" near my place. But when i tapped to go, waze just crashed and closed itself..i have tried to apt-get install --reinstall waze, but the problem still persists..
My waze does not work on the N9 as well. Really need someone to answer this.
Has it ever worked for you? I tried using it after waze began, as damagedspline put it "killing their legacy servers." I've never been able to actually get past login/signup. "Searching network . . ." message appears and nothing else happens. I've tried installing it from several backups of the old appsformeego repo (rzr's backup, rzr's repo at openrepos, appsformeego at openrepos), all to no avail.

The APIs are no longer as were in v2. You can still navigate but dont expect anything more than that (scoreboard, POI, reports, etc...)
I'm guessing that new user signup is a casualty of the changes.
