| Waze uses a point system to track usage of the the Waze client application, and also when you use the web interface to make edits to the map. Depending upon what actions you perform will determine how many point you earn. These points are currently used to define your status and "rank" compared to all other users in Waze.
| | #REDIRECT [[USA:Your Rank and Points]] |
| | |
| | |
| == My Dashboard ==
| |
| You can see your points and rank from the web interface by selecting [http://www.waze.com/dashboard My Dashboard], or from the client application you can select the Menu, then My Waze, then the Scoreboard. Select the following link for information on the other sections of the [[My_Dashboard|My Dashboard page]].
| |
| | |
| From the web interface you will see the following table, through which you can follow your progress and driving activity inside Waze. Each field in the table represents a different activity inside Waze. Every night the Waze system will calculate all the points that you accumulated for each activity through the day. The system will then identify your rank among all other Waze users. Your rank will generally change on a daily basis, until you get very high in the ranking.
| |
| | |
| NOTE: Occasionally, the system has some delays with updating the points. If you think the points have not updated properly, it's worth checking the status page - http://status.waze.com - to make sure that there are no current issues with the points system. Generally these delays are cleared in a day or so, but may take longer.

| | |
| == How are points calculated? ==
| |
| You receive a different number of points for each activity as listed in the tables below. Note that the number of points you get for distance related activities is different when measured in miles and in kilometers. In effect you get the same points, the table just shows you the translation of the two measurements system.

| === Bonus Point Opportunities ===
| |
| There are other ways to earn points. Once you meet the criteria for one of the following tasks below, a message pops up in the Waze client application. The message states you've earned a "candy" that contains a particular number of points. Simply drive over where the candy is located and the points will be added to your total upon Waze's next ranking update. The bonus points can only be earned once unless otherwise noted.
| |
| | |
| If for some reason you are unable to drive over the candy, don't worry about it. The candy will come back at another location as you continue to drive, or when you use Waze again later. If you do not enable these "Road Goodies" in the Waze client application, you will receive the credits during the next weekly point update.

| '''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 Royalty rank (or king level), you have to be in the 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.

| === VIP Users ===

| There's special VIP ranks for users who go out and beyond with Waze. VIP users show up uniquely in the app. [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10440 Discussion on VIP Users]
