What country are you in?

Believe the routing issue is dependent on the Waze server to which you connect. US has its own and I believe the current versions of Waze on the N900 are not communicating with the US servers correctly.

Israel has its own servers, and then there is ROW (Rest of World).

Anyone having issues with Waze communications (i.e. not UI or language issues) should indicate the country in which they are using Waze. The link above indicates how to force Waze to a specific server locale.

We really need individuals from all three server areas to test core functionality. There is simply no way that damagedspline can resolve communication issues outside of Israel without help.
