What is Dashboard? Dashboard is the name of your personal information console. You can enter your information about your Waze account here, including most recent driven routes What are My Drives? When you click on My Drives, this part of the app, upload the journeys or routes that you have driven with the Waze client running, will appear. While you drive Waze monitors your journey (records details like location, time and speed) and transfers this information to the Servers, it made look illegal but it is not. This data is used to validate the existing mapping (roads, turns etc) and to learn average journey times. What happens when I drive on an unknown (unmapped) road? When you are unaware of your area where you are in just drive on a road that is not on the Waze map. Waze records your drive as usual. When you select one of your drives in the editor, you can find the "new road" section. If it is far enough away from mapped roads, Waze will mark it with a dotted red line. You can draw a new road following the correct part of your drive. Waze will not be responsable of what happens.
