Do you use Waze? (POLL)

[BreezyBlizzard]

Was just curious to see how many Waze users there are on this forum

[NutBucket]

Yes, daily.

 

[_Rick_]

I sometimes report, but only when prompted. Can't report much, while driving along...

 

[KentState]

Yes and especially since it's part of CarPlay now.

 

[nakedfrog]

I keep forgetting it exists.

 

[EXCellR8]

I don't use any GPS unless I get really lost or miss an exit in the city or something. Mostly because it interrupts my tunes...

 

[Kaido]

CarPlay + Google Maps for me.

Waze allows you to adjust the alerting to turns/alerts, alerts and nothing.

Google Maps yes - Waze rarely

 

[ondma]

Google maps and Android auto is what I use. At least, I will use them when my car gets back from the body shop after an old fart backed into me in a parking lot.

I use Waze daily. I only use Google Maps for walking, but rarely to drive.

Everybody uses Waze here in Brazil. It is currently the 10th most downloaded free app in the AppStore (the #1 being WhatsApp). Google Maps is the 14th.

I only use it when I have to go someplace that I could potentially encounter traffic which here in NOVA is pretty much anytime I leave the town I live in.

Waze is an interesting beast. I noticed a few days ago it stopped routing me the "usual" way home (last couple of miles). I figured out it was because someone had set an artificially low speed limit on the roads (narrow, hard for 2 cars to easily pass). As such, Waze routes a different way where higher speed limits make up for the added distance.

I pondered editing the map but then decided it benefits me since less people will be routed the optimal way so it's a WIN!

I use it when I need GPS. It works via apple car play and it works awesome. I don't report though.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Used waze a long time ago, but I found that it reduced travel times in favor of vastly more complex routes. I'd rather have a more direct route than saving 10 minutes by taking 20 turns down bizarre side streets.

 

[killster1]

I dont use it as often as i should but on the freeway its alot better than my rural roads. Everytime i have tried to report it doesnt even show on my map, i voted for reporting but i dont do it alot but when ican i try! wish it ws easier

 

[Herr Kutz]

Generally only on long trips but I also have google maps running for when I need to know which lane to be in.

 

[Bardock]

I love waze. Never edited a map but I plot police radar traps on the regular.

This ain't sherwood forrest smh, go paint that black dodge like a police car and protect and serve someone besides the state treasury.

That nice lady robot kindly announcing, "police ahead", what an angel. Haven't received a ticket since I've used it.
