==Waze in India==
You're here at the Wiki of the Waze community of <i>Belgium</i>, <i>the Netherlands</i> and <i>Luxembourg</i>, in short <i>Waze BeNeLux</i>. So, this Wiki informs on Waze in the BeNeLux.  
India has a small but dedicated community of Wazers working hard to make the road networks across the country better. With the help of international editors, we have managed to make the Indian map one of the best in Asia, but there’s a lot more work to be done to realise the full potential of Waze. We need your help so we can cover more ground and make Waze India’s favourite navigation app.

Waze is the world's largest community-based traffic and navigation app. There are many navigation apps, many of them rely on maps that are updated only a few times a year, resulting in outdated maps and wrong navigation instructions. Waze is different. Waze maps are updated on almost a daily basis. The maps are constantly updated by volunteers of our BeNeLux community. So, signs along the road asking you to switch off your navigation app are not for Waze. Waze has the most up-to-date road information, for free.<br />

* [https://twitter.com/wazeIndia Waze India - Twitter]
The app uses maps and your phone's GPS. Map information that is already available cached in your phone and information that is retrieved from the Waze map servers via the internet. It is possible to use Waze without internet connection while driving in areas where your phone uses already cached maps, but the best navigation experience you got with an internet connection. The data usage of the app is moderate. The [https://www.anwb.nl/verkeer/tests/navigatie-apps/waze test of the ANWB] mentions 3,9 MB for 75 KM.<br />

Our map is pretty complete, but cities, roads, the countryside are all constantly changing. You're most valuable with your <i>local knowledge</i>. You can help us to keep the Waze map up-to-date.
<br />
:Are there road works planned in your neighboorhood?
:New housing estates?
:New roads planned?
:Changes in one-way / two-way traffic?
:Sometimes data is still missing or not accurate anymore: <i>speed limits</i>, <i>house numbers</i>. 
<br />
Are there <i>points of interest</i> in your neighboorhood that could be interesting for Wazers as a destination like a <i>gas station</i>, <i>parking</i>, <i>hospital</i>, <i>school</i> and so on.
Check if they are already created on the map and if not there is something to do.<br />
<br />
If you're new and like to help us keep the map up-to-date please check out our [[Quick start guide]], don't forget to read [[Improve your skills]] and while editing the map: keep our [[KISS|KISS principles]] in mind!<br />
