Waze for Tesla

[Achilles]

It looks like the Waze for Tesla app has updated. Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn how to identify certain things on this app? You would think it would be easy but I'm finding it's not. For instance: The circle around the arrow that shows my position has another arrow that orbits it. What is that? Also, the red polka-dot areas...What are they? This app shows weather now and I'd like to be able to identify the yellow and green splotches I see. Any help would be appreciated!

Same here.

I assume it still shows cops, but I haven’t seen once since the update.

Yes, that part I can understand.

I am dumb, how did you load an app into your car?.

It's just a browser page. Use the on-board browser to go to teslawaze.azurewebsites.net

The red polka dot areas are put there when the "Police Traps (Beta)" is on. Click the gear in lower left corner. Click on Enforcement and you can turn this off. It looks like green is rain, yellow heavier rain.

The arrow that orbits in the circle is the direction the wind is coming from. In the data at the lower right part of the screen you can read the wind velocity.

Thanks I'm going to have to try this out tonight. One thing I miss not having android auto is waze.

Thank you!

The features are discussed on this thread

Note that High Enforcement Areas show when you select maximum range on display scale, but disappear once the display actually goes to maximum range...you have to select one level down from maximum to continue seeing the high enforcement areas

This web app is great!

The weather radar and wind speed indicator ar unexpthe cited bonus. It is great to have as much situation awareness as a graceful UX will allow. The only downside is the slowness of UX, but we know that is not your fault. I wish Tesla will take some clues here and incorporate many of these features in the next rev of the nav app.

Bravo and many thanks!

It looks like the site is not working again after the recent update. You can view the site, but the arrow for your location and the traffic/police alerts are no longer there. I think this happened in the past. Anyone else seeing this?

Reportedly, a Google Maps update is incompatible with the (old, outdated, decrepit) Tesla browser which is why Waze is not working.
The fix will require an update to the Tesla browser which has been promised "real soon now" for a long time but seems to be a low priority.

Wow, bummer. It was working perfectly for me up until the last Tesla update that installed last night for me. As of this morning, no more alerts.
