This comprehensive Glossary has been designed to function as a glossary, an index and a cross reference by means of sorting features and a table of contents.<br />
 
It attempts to include all of the abbreviations, acronyms and terms used in the official and third party Waze ecosystem and the various communication mediums.<br />
 
Some terms existed prior to Waze, while others were officially coined by Waze. Many evolved naturally within the various Waze communication mediums used by Wazers and staff alike. Regardless of origin, all are important to help understand Waze Speak!<br />
 
Please carefully consider your use of the abbreviations and acronyms in your conversations, since they can be unfamiliar when not used in conjunction with other terms or without defining context.<br />
 
While many terms apply globally, this glossary is US English-centric.<br />
 
The descriptions within this Glossary attempt to merely resolve ambiguity of terms, and reference other Wiki pages, articles, and sections, along with other Waze and external sources. This intentional lack of description content helps avoid duplication of source content, and facilitates future maintenance when source content changes.<br />

Refer to the image below to identify the different parts of the glossary described here.<br /> [[File:GlossaryTOC.png|center|643px]]
 
 
'''The Table'''
* Column '''{{red|A}}'''
** The term being defined. It may be a fully spelled out term, an alias or an acronym.
* Column '''{{red|B}}'''
** Fully spelled out terms will list the typical alias or acronym.
** If the term is an alias or acronym, it will state as much.
** When more than one term is represented by the same alias or acronym, the alias or acronym in this column will appear as a hyperlink, returning to the alias or acronym entry showing all the associated terms.
* Column '''{{red|C}}'''
** The description column may include a definition, or it may link to another source with a deeper explanation of the term.
** Each entry may include one or more of the following:
*** "See the XXXXX XXXXX" entries link to a full definition of the term. Some terms may have multiple meanings and therefore multiple "See the XXXXX XXXXX" entries.
*** "Also see XXXXX XXXXX" entries link to terms or pages that have an association to the current term (usually in a subordinate way).
*** "Related entries" link to any other terms in the glossary which have a link to this term.
* Column '''{{red|D}}'''
** Click on the little up/down arrow [[File:UpDownSort.png]] in the column heading to sort the latest glossary changes to the top.
** The date entry will include the first added (A) date and may also show the last update (U).
<br />
'''Searching'''
* Use the table of contents to move to the top of the terms starting with a specific letter.
** You must have column '''{{red|A}}''' sorted with the little up/down arrow [[File:UpDownSort.png]] on the right of the text in the heading in order to properly use the table of contents.
* Use the web browser feature for searching the page (typically {{key press|CTRL|F}}).
<br />
'''Linking'''
* You can link directly to any item in the glossary table by putting the term name or any of its listed aliases, or abbreviations as a section link.
**For example: you can link to the Wayfinder listing using [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}#WF]] or [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}#Wayfinder]]
** If you link to a term or alias which is listed multiple times in the table, the link will go to the first one listed. To be certain the link goes to the desired entry, make sure the term or alias you choose is not duplicated on any other entries, e.g. a link to [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}#SM]] will go to the Self Management entry and not the State Manager entry)
** In cases with multiple alias entries, just use the full descriptive term.
** Links to this glossary which only go to the top of the page are using an anchor link that is not present on the page. Check the spelling of the anchor link.
<br />
'''Other Tools'''
* There is a [[Bookmarklets#Glossary_Entries|Bookmarklet (BM) available]] which will take you directly to the Glossary Entry for a term from anywhere on the web. Just highlight the term and then click the BM, or enter the term after clicking on the BM. It will open the Glossary, and jump to that term if it exists as a listed term or alias / abbr.

{{Glossary_item|term=BBCode|desc=BBCode is a special implementation of HTML to enhance forum posts. In addition to  the standard BBCodes as described in the guide linked below, Waze has added custom BBCodes, including: Table, Hide, and YouTube. Usage of the Hide and YouTube codes are obvious when applied from the forum posting toolbar. The Table code however requires additional explanation.
 
Table code tags:<br>
[table] starts a table with borders<br>
[tr] starts a row<br>
[td] opens a cell (table data)<br>
[/td] closes a cell (table data)<br>
[/tr] closes a row<br>
[/table] closes the table<br><br>
 
Table BBCode limitations:
*Nested tables are not permitted.
*Athough New Lines are redered correctly within cells, all other New Lines within the Table tags will merely appear above the table.
*No other Table tags or tag attributes are available as of the date indicated for this Glossary Term.
 
Hovering over an icon in the forum post editing toolbar will give a very short usage help for many of the BBCode, while the link below gives a more indepth explanation of the standard codes. (The Waze added BBCodes of Hide, Table and YouTube are not included.)<br><br>See the [http://www.waze.com/forum/faq.php?mode=bbcode Forum FAQ BBCode Guide] Waze forum|related1=Community Forum|updated=2016-02-15|added=2015-02-25}}

The geometry nodes are very close to the junction, and nearly or completely invisible at the zoom levels available on the client (app). An mDL is frequently used to force "Turn" instructions instead of "Keep/Exit" instructions and vice-versa. They have a shape similar to a dogleg junction.
 
For example, if the angle at which a local road meets a highway is 20 degrees, Waze will instruct a user turning off the highway to "EXIT RIGHT" (assuming right hand drive countries). If we consider this a 'turnoff' ''(at grade junction)'', and not an 'exit', we will want to force Waze to treat it as a 'turn'. By making a tiny crook (the micro-dogleg) at the very start of the local segment, we can have the final piece of the segment meet the highway at 90 degrees, and cause a turn instruction.<br><br>See the [[Junction Style Guide]] Wiki Page<br>See the [[How Waze determines turn / keep / exit maneuvers]] Wiki Page|related1=Dogleg|updated=2015-10-09|added=2015-01-12}}
