CassandraComplex (@notsosuperwoman) reported@DeoWatti @krisdyer_1 @marisekjg If I'd known how nasty it was, I'd have passed Anderson side. Atp, it looked like the usual after school Shoppes of Maraval shenanigans. Is only when I was stuck in traffic heading to Champs Elysees and Waze told me Morne Coco would be quicker that I realised I was in trouble.

Matthew Rodriguez (@MattRodriguez81) reported@waze having issues with my app on iPhone. Have have disabled railroad tracks and while I use the app it keeps showing me all the railroad crossings and alerts me. How do I get rid of this or do I need to get a new app? Thanks
-
BlahajStealer (@BlahajStealer) reported@iHateApplee @appltrack lmao just saying its the norm, surprised apple hasnt started sooner. Free platforms usually end up with ads sooner or later. i brought up the biggest map example but waze also has ads, im not sure why you have a problem with apple when they do something but anyone else is a saint
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reported@andrew_r The map box issue isn’t the primary reason, it’s the Waze API getting shut down
-
Pepe Mtz. (@PpKarOn) reported@killedbygoogle I dont see Google addressing the fundamental issue that is making me using waze, so i dont think so, at least not for the moment
-
Randy Harvey (@RandyHarvey2) reported@ICEgov Wow, I travel internationally for business and have rented cars numerous times in non-English speaking countries and had no problem getting around and this was before Waze and Google Maps
-
Grok (@grok) reported@LadyCrayMaryKay @neveragainlive1 No, this isn't correct. The viral claim about Mossad agents posing as dentists/gastro doctors and implanting tracking devices in Iranian elites' fillings (or stomachs) is a hoax—recycled satire similar to the debunked 2025 "Waze ***" anus-chip story. US-Israel strikes in late Feb 2026 did kill Khamenei, his family members, and dozens of top officials/IRGC leaders via conventional intel (months of movement tracking, surveillance, and timing a meeting). No official sources confirm implants; mainstream reports attribute precision to standard spycraft, not dental gadgets. Technical issues (battery/signal in a filling) make it implausible too.

Kenneth Charles (@KenMCharles) reported@Teslarati Honestly, not a fan of Waze. Used it on a rental w/Android Auto(AA) and got fed up w/the stale traffic reports and AA not always working when I started the car so I could drive to a destination where I needed directions.
-
Leisure4Me (@Leisure4Me) reported@Teslarati CarPlay is trash but a functional WAZE would be very beneficial. Now, if Tesla could only fix its V14 road database problem or at least let us control speed similar to V13.2.9.
-
Write Girl Problems (@WriteGrlProbs) reportedI don’t need GPS to find my way to work, but I usually have it on just in case there’s any issues I would need to route around. I just think it’s funny that when it gives me route options the road that I take every day, Waze is like, “never heard of it!”
-
Belt Parkway (@BeltParkway) reported@cashandcarrots @BobFromAccounts just use waze camera database and slow down for camera then speed up when there’s no more camera
-
Sam (@NotScamOrSpam) reported@SarahisCensored @libsoftiktok @Google You should spend all your time working on this. Get Waze taken down for posting about police officers. Have google maps take down the location of courthouses and fire departments. This is a really important use of your time. 🙄

Asenathi P. (@PAsenathi) reported@azolagodlimpi2 @Zoemkoena why are you lying be she had a problem with that waze wathi wenziwa islima

tutorialhows (@tutorialhows) reportedIf you are driving back for Raya next week, your mobile signal will drop when you hit the massive highway jams. Here is how to make sure Waze/Google Maps doesn’t crash and leave you stranded (takes 30 seconds):

Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported@7hashtag7 iPhone running Waze, Bluetooth speaker, only issue is if you get hit by an SUV, you’d be dead.

Alpha Man (@alpha_the_dev) reported@Polymarket Ask priests to stop using AI to write sermons? That’s cute, but AI isn’t some optional gadget anymore. It’s everywhere — how banks catch fraud, how Jumia or Konga moves goods, how Google Maps or Waze navigates Lagos traffic, even how TikTok decides what you see. Turning it off is like telling someone to go back to dial-up internet in 2026. Once anyone starts using AI and suddenly works faster or better, everyone else has to catch up or fall behind. It’s not just about convenience — it solves problems humans can’t do alone, from healthcare to logistics to education. At this point, AI isn’t a toy for sermons or tweets. It’s part of how the world runs. You can limit reckless use, sure, but asking it to disappear? Impossible.

J H (@JHofmaryland) reported@fisher4maryland @c_cgottlieb @GovWesMoore Someone is making money by creating a state web site that won’t be used to emulate a working web site that exists publicly. You’ll see how much Wes’ cut is when they ban google maps/ waze and start selling ad space on the site.
-
OKWUDILI 🇳🇬🏴 (@philip_Bawer) reported@AsidanyaMiracle Stop using Google map, it will take you straight into problem rather use Waze. It will find all the nearest and hassle free route for you.
-
Akshay Shinde (@ConsciousRide) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Google Maps pulls speed and location data from millions of Android phones with location on. When many devices slow down in one stretch it flags a jam right away. They add road sensors and past traffic patterns for better accuracy. Waze data also feeds in since Google owns it. Your phone becomes one data point in the system without naming you. This is how the red zones show up live on the map.
-
KEASEA07 (@keasea07) reportedThe biggest problem with CarPlay is enabling it to synchronize with Tesla FSD. If you input a destination in FSD using Tesla’s native navigation system, it isn’t going to match what you see in Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps. Integration is a lot more complicated than it seems.
-
Pepe 🚕🚕✠♥⚓ (@hurumdara2) reported@nexta_tv You don’t have to be a police officer to report a speed camera in Waze. If speeding near your child’s school is a concern, community reporting and visible enforcement often encourage drivers to slow down in school zones.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@RoshanGiri68574 @NCMIndiaa @bihar_police In such cases, fault is shared: Google Maps can have outdated info, but drivers must watch for signs and local rules. Suggest verifying routes with locals or apps like Waze for real-time updates. If fined, insist on official receipts to avoid bribery—report issues to bihar_police if needed. Stay safe!
-
Joel Muthama (@muthamajoelKE) reported@kelvinotieno10 @the_sambu Of anything is made by man,it can be broken by a man. The builders of waze reverse-engineered the system
-
Rachel (@DataDecoder11) reported@WKVN_4 @ourx_vault Agree: Apple Health stairs aren’t GPS. Separate issue. I’m talking about location data sourcing. My point is the CW chose Waze app GPS artifacts instead of device-level location artifacts (iOS). Apps can introduce extra variables (sampling, session timing/monotonic time, logging gaps). Why add that layer? Unless there was a specific reason.
-
Synth Spaceship (@synthspaceship) reported@sama @sama You know, the problem with Waze was that even though it routed you through different backstreets, you ultimately didn't get to the destination much faster than good old Google or Apple Maps. It was the distraction of taking a bunch of random backstreets that created the illusion of movement/progress. Sometimes you just need to get on the main road and get to work.
-
Slinger Auto Zone LLC (@SlingerAuto) reported@saswat101 @waze Imagine this: instead of just a "pothole ahead" alert, the app provides exact GPS coordinates and dimensional photos so crews know exactly what they’re dealing with before they even arrive. Even better? It can use traffic data to pinpoint the absolute best time to fix them—when traffic is at its lowest—to minimize the headache for everyone. This is the kind of data-driven city tech we need.
-
dontpannic (@dontpannic) reported@ihorvorotnov @Cartidise Waze is Google Maps with a different skin and more aggressive traffic avoidance. I find it absolutely horrible. I’d rather sit in slow traffic than take a route through small, speed **** infested roads with lots of junctions to save potentially 30 seconds.
-
Nolan Vesey (@nolan_vesey) reported@guychristensen_ Are we really this dumb as a society? “Waze tracks your location!” It’s a GPS app, how else is is supposed to tell you where to go. “Reporting issues tells them where you are!” Yeah, that is the entire point of Waze Lmaoo.
-
Kevin Egan (@lonesharkoy) reportedSo, what app are people using to plan routes these days? Are google maps, waze etc working to take into account blockades?
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@NotATeslaApp The map data in my area is so bad. What's frustrating is, it *used* to read the signs and no problem. But now I see the sign rendered on the vis OK but it still won't use it. Wish there was a way to report bad data, like you can with Waze.
