Waze Glossary replacement demo

 As a replacement demo, this glossary contains only a small subset of all the terms available. Until finalized, some terms may also contain more description content than intended by this project.

Please visit the forum to vote to change the current flat glossary to this dynamic format and to leave commentsː

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 context index.

It attempts to include all of the many abbreviations, acronyms and terms that we may see in the various Waze communication mediums.

Some existed before 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!

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.

Many terms apply globally, however, this glossary is North American English centric.

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.

Usage hints
  • Sort on the date column to see the latest changes.)
  • 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 User:PesachZ/Glossary#WF or User:PesachZ/Glossary#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 correct entry make sure the term or alias you choose is not duplicated on any other entries. (E.g. a link to User:PesachZ/Glossary#SM will go to the Self Management entry and not the State Manager entry)

Junction Junction node, Junction point
The point where two or more road segments connect at their ends. It is sometimes called a 'junction node' or 'junction point', but should not be confused with other types of nodes.

Junctions look different depending on the situation:
Selected and editable segment junction
Selected and uneditable segment junction (no permissions to change due to locks)
Changed, unsaved junction

A junction should be visible at the end of a dead end road, and should be corrected if not visible.

Voice ~ Various male and female voices are available based on location, in a number of languages to provider spoken navigation instuctions.

While all voices provide turn instructions, only some also provide Text to Speech (TTS) instructions for street names. In the U.S,, Samantha and Tom are two English speaking voices that support TTS.

All voices are assigned human names in the client application. Novelty voices may also be available for some languages such as ""Boy Band"", and celebrity voices such as commedian Kenvin Hart introduced in late 2013.
