User:Tenetienne/Dashboard draft

Overview

Inside your My Dashboard page, you will be able to find your Personal Information as well as your User Statistics. The information and statistics shown there are personal, and therefore will be accessible only after you have signed into the website.

After signing in, you will see that your Dashboard is divided into three different sections. You will find there both personal information along with driving and editing activities done while using the mobile application and when using the Waze Map Editor, commonly known as WME.

Username, points and rank

The first section, in addition to your username, displays your points and your ranking. In this section, you will be able to follow your progress and driving activity inside Waze. Every night our system will calculate all of the points that you accumulated in all the different fields (basically driving and editing) throughout the day. Then the system will allocate your points and your new position inside the rank table. Your rank can hence change on a daily basis. Note that as of 2009, you cannot change your username. Is this last sentence really needed anymore?

User Statistics

The second section presents your statistics. User statistics are divided into two subsections:

• My Driving Stats:
  • All Reports: the number of reports you made from the Waze client application.
  • Driven Miles/Kilometers: Distance you have driven using the mobile Waze application to track your drive. It does not require navigation to be turned on. e.g. having a destination selected.
  • Paved Miles/Kilometers: Distance you have used the pave road feature in the mobile Waze application.
  • Munched feet/meters: Distance you have driven on unconfirmed roads.

• Editing & Community Stats
  • Map Edits The changes made to the map using WME
  • Resolved Requests: The number of update requests you have resolved using WME. It does not include automated map problems
  • Forum Posts: Indicates the number of forum posts you have entered.

Note that if you are located in Northern America (USA/Canada) you need to select "USA & Canada" at the bottom of this section and "World" if you are from any other location in the rest of the world. Selecting the incorrect region will give you incorrect information from what you are expecting.

The last drop down box at the bottom of the user statistics section allows you to choose your preferred distance unit.

• Selecting Metric will display statistics in kilometers and meters.
• Selecting Imperial will display statistics in miles and feet.

Account Options

The third section, Account Options, allows you to change and update your personal details such as account password, email address
