-
Alex 💪 (@awpthorp) reported@dilantha_de @AlsieLC His Waze app was not working, his other phone didn't work either. In terms of not being genuine, Careem gave me a full refund so not sure what is angle might have been. Likely new as not knowing Al Quoz to JVC is a rookie error
-
DebtCollector (@DebtCollector15) reported@OGsDontFold Google Maps is so trash. Randomly won't give audio updates for turns, suggests locations further away for no sensible reason, randomly loses connection and stops updating directions. I have tried Waze and it gives me similar problems. There is no winning these days.

coco the pailot (@pailot_the_coco) reported@waze if you do not fix apple car … Hello @TomTom
-
Mark (@1zSolace) reported@waze why does every intersection I pass, Waze thinks I am turning at? Every time the map turns thinking I turned when I never even touched the wheel. Can you fix that?
-
⭐️STARGUY (@starguy_1) reported@RippleXrpie Why my speed cemeta alert in Waze not working
-
Bobby Boulders (@ItsBig_Earl) reported@SnooCompliments You guys seem to put a lot of faith into John’s Waze app and a correlation of time done by a guy who has been pursuing a 4 year degree for 18+ years…What exactly is the issue here? Trust the data right? Except when it implicates the house defendants….then it’s obviously just wrong.

Gordon Cassie (@gordon_cassie) reported@ZachAbramowitz It's heavily context dependent. For some use cases, the downside is equivalent to getting lost from Waze. In others, it's more like a car crash.
-
RE2PECTNYC (@RE2PECTNYC) reported@IMSAVAGECREATOR @raphousetvgang @raphousetv2 It's actually handicapping society when the average person has to use Google or Waze, just to get home. That is a problem where you need GPD to get home.
-
Uncle Phil (@jsin215) reported@SysopRon @MattWallaceTech My issue isn't the way fsd drives it's that all tesla navigation has problems and isn't not as good as waze. I'd have the same issue with uber driver app nav

OTTA 💰 (@ottabag) reportedHow do I fix my Waze or Google maps my **** keeps teleporting me
-
Isisí (?) (@luisuxanz) reported@BowTiedPassport Trusting the Waze ETA is the ultimate error in CDMX
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.
-
optimistic man (@_Misandaa) reported@msiziworld @Mr30C I never had a problem with Waze. Ever. Apple is worse worse
-
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.

Ty Lue Gambling (@LaceUpMyKickz) reported@waze fix the apple carplay issue please
-
Amy Corrigan (@AmyCorriga28306) reported@waze your app isn't working on Android all day today
-
MJ (@MJ5fzp) reported@waze @ziggymarley Please fix Car Play.

Adeti Maina (@_adate) reportedEver cried on the road? Well, 01.00am, I am in Abu Dhabi, both Waze & Google Maps are not working. The signage is blacked out. 20 mins of frustration, driving & not knowing where you are going. I just started crying. Wanted to drive back to Dubai but had left something at the hotel. Pulled over to order a taxi to guide me but couldn’t even pin to my location. Na ni highways. Hakuna maduka to ask

diatribe (@d06h0201) reported@vad3rt3sla Pro tip work around: While using FSD, open the Waze app on your phone and leave it on the wireless charger. Won't be automatic slow down but it can give you time to adjust speeds.
-
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.
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@NevrEnoughX @billykyle @grok Which is why I wish Tesla used Waze maps for navigation. If there's an issue, click report button in app and someone local will be fixing it in a day or so. For example, when Virginia opened up 20 miles of new Express lanes on I-66, the day it opened Waze maps were already updated and routing people on it correctly.

Ben (@ben_toto23) reported@TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

Maqhawe Simelane (@Buqhawe) reported@zizipho50 Waze wayisilima we Oros, working with other countries is what we need, illegal immigrants must go back home and fix their papers.
-
Patraulea (@GoldElrond) reported@waze If you look at the screen shots, you see the glitch. Just fix it
-
Kane (@shmkane) reported@SawyerMerritt I want to be able to see WhatsApp messages, use Waze, reply to group text messages, build a YouTube music queue. And I don’t want Tesla to waste engineering time on a solved problem. There’s bigger fish to fry.

Orvill Samanta (@orvilldesign) reportedWhy is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

Courtney Nicholson (@courtsmegan00) reported@Lean78 @waze Us and others are having the same issue
-
AJJS (@AJJCDA) reported@JayGenXer When using Waze on the 410, it actually comes up on the screen that the area has a high crash history. I hate driving anywhere near Brampton & try to avoid it.
-
B52Returns (@B52Returns) reported@BeltParkway @Johnnycesartist @nypost Thats not clearly seen in the picture. But Waze can help with that. In fact when I am forced to slow down too much, I start marking police locations in waze as a F U to the speed trap cops.

Nic Cruz Patane (@niccruzpatane) 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.
