+--- Thread: How many of you are using WAZE? (/showthread.php?tid=185163)

I don't use the WAZE app but I do benefit from others' use of it when I check traffic and Google Maps warns me of various road incidents that have been marked by WAZE users.

I don't personally use WAZE but I benefit from others' use of it whenever I am going somewhere and call on Google Maps to determine the quickest route. WAZE users have often indicated traffic incidents that, coupled with a regional traffic management website for my area, give me a good idea of which route to take to get to my destination. WAZE has the added benefit of working with Google Maps wherever I may be.
Apple Maps - utterly unusable for traffic avoidance. I'd say WAZE FTW!

Waze instructed me to get off the expressway and take a city street around a construction zone the other day. I did not do it because I saw that its directions for getting back on were wrong.
Two things I like about Waze are the estimates of speed in congested areas and that it does not shut off the screen if I am just following the map without a destination set.

My wife uses it. It's very helpful getting through and around Los Angeles traffic, though I think it's a little too aggressive routing people on smaller roads to get around congested areas. When I see it's doing that, we ignore it. But if I drove through LA on a regular basis I would probably buy a phone so I could use Waze, it's that compelling.

Love it, but not so happy with the new look and feel of the redesign. Very tough for this mid 40's guy in denial about needing bi-focals to see the screen easily.
