The only benefit I've seen after doing multiple multiple road trips (over the last year) is the police warnings. Maybe the duration of traffic jam too. I often have both Waze and Google Maps going because I can't trust the former. The route Waze tells you to take is often worse, such as getting onto local roads (congested plus lights) to avoid 1-2 miles of highway traffic (still moves at least).
Since Google owns them, why do they continue to offer 2 different apps? If Google doesn't want to offer police reporting in Maps, at least use your technology to overwrite what Waze does with their inferior routing. Both are crowd sourced aren't they?
I've found that I can keep Waze on in the background just to be audibly alerted to cops. But again, 2 apps... and limited data allotment - wasteful.
