Waze Ranks
Waze assigns a rank to each Wazer. It is based on the number of points you've earned, although there are a few that represent special achievements in contributing to Waze (mostly, by doing a lo of driving in a short period).
Waze Baby |
Welcome to the world, Wazer! You're a baby now, but not for long... Drive 100 miles to become a Grown up. |
Waze Grown-Up |
You've matured and can now pick a new Waze mood. To become a Waze Warrior you'll need to seriously ramp up on points... |
Waze Warrior |
Behold the shield! You've reached the top 10% of high scorers in your region. Maintaining it won't be easy... |
Waze Knight |
The sword is yours! You've reached the top 4% of high scorers in your region. You're almost Royalty... Keep on looking for point opportunities |
Waze Royalty |
You've arrived! You're in the top 1% of high scorers in your region. Drive around knowing you're as VIP as they come... |
To reach king level, you have to be in a certain top % of all wazers in your locality (in the US, this is determined by state).
The top % is calculated once a month, and if more and more wazers get points, it's possible that the total amount needed to reach shield / sword / crown will actually go up. While it could be frustrating, it helps us guarantee that no one gets the 'royalty' level for good - it always gives a chance for new wazers to come along and get it.
