First Time in Waze?

The first time that you run waze, you will go through a few screens helping you to set up waze properly. This user manual will guide you through these set-up screens, and through all the function of the waze applications on iphone.

Select Server

If waze can't pick up your current location, you will be asked to choose your general location:

USA & Canada.
Israel.
International (rest of the world).

After you choose your general location, waze will ask you to choose a language from the list.

Note: You will be able to change the language later on.

Next, read and accept the waze terms & conditions

Login

After accepting the terms & conditions, you can choose between creating a new user, or entering the credentials of an existing user.

Choose Sign up to log in, or Get Started to use an existing user name / password (if you already created a waze user in the past). Note: you can also choose to use waze anonymously. Choose Sign up at this screen to proceed anonymously.

If you have forgotten your password, you can visit this page and ask for a password reset: http://www.waze.com/forgot_password/
