-
Presentation Coach Ray (@PresentationRay) reported@waze I spent 20 minutes trying to point out a private, gated entrance via the app today. It is too much trouble. Google Maps updated, but you won't get it from me if I have to use the app. 26808-26810 Haywood Worm Farm Rd 28.737599, -81.888060
-
Choqao Tech (@choqao) reported@Sankew06 To Fix it, I use waze
-
Amy Corrigan (@AmyCorriga28306) reported@waze your app isn't working on Android all day today
-
(((Aaron Walker))) (@AaronWorthing) reportedWhat the hell, @waze and @googlemaps I was trying to see a friend in the hospital and first I used Waze. I told the system not to put me on any toll roads and I knew from previous travel it was possible to get there without going on a toll road. Yet your system kept trying to put me on a toll road So I switched to Google Maps, and you guys were doing the same thing. I told you not to put me on toll roads and you kept trying to put me on a toll road. FIX THIS

Ian McGinley (@parawolf) reported@JackTheAss_ @TrungTPhan Just where I am in Australia the high traffic or incident data or other issues just don’t reflect in the app like they do for google maps or waze. Just doesn’t have quality penetration here I feel.
-
JimStrohmeier (@USAF_Veteran57) reportedI think the Gas Buddy app is just another BS data collection app, like the WAZE app. Waze shows user reports of radar cops on the road. Too many times, the cop is not even there - which means busybodies who want drivers to slow down are corrupting the reports.

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.

Joe Robinson (@Joethedog4109) reported@lunarleahhhhh You can’t have it both Waze boys…. Either quick protesting when they do get violent criminals, or when they are released at the border, they can cause problems here on the interior.
-
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):
-
Jonathan Mills (@ICommunityNote) reported@DillonLoomis @butala_aryan Can they just partner with Waze and fix everything overnight? That would be good.
-
HITMONREZ (@REZGOTBARS) reported@deefinewhine Don’t use Waze. The problem you complaining about not gonna change because we drive fast in every lane but the left which causes accidents every morning. In reality most people drive like *******, if we just remove the speed limit like the south it will be better.
-
Renato Mandić (@reno_peno) reported@thefox @googlemaps All of this sounds great, but it feels like we won't see any of it in Crostia anytime soon.. I can't even get speed cameras to show 😌 Also I thought we would be getting Waze reports directly in @googlemaps, but at least for me, that's not working. Immersive nav look awesome though!
-
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.
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reported@andrew_r The map box issue isn’t the primary reason, it’s the Waze API getting shut down
-
Bob Dore (@BobDore) reported@waze has taken me out of a little jam and put me in a solid major problem. Load id ctap!
-
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
-
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?
-
551CARS (@551CARS) reportedWAZE is reporting a major crash at 120th and Davenport (JUST south of Dodge). I have not heard reference to this at all
-
optimistic man (@_Misandaa) reported@msiziworld @Mr30C I never had a problem with Waze. Ever. Apple is worse worse
-
24AmyO! (@Gotkickedo45700) reported@SteveLovesAmmo Problem, she’s fixing them all at the same damn time. She’s flicking us off on her way out! I hate her!! 😡 Thank goodness for the Waze App! 😒
-
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.
-
Antiquated 📛Rogue (@ontologyofRouge) reported@ItsBig_Earl @ReverendSpeck @BCLAW Again, you’re trying to predict injuries just go with the actual data that we have the car data, the phone data, and the Waze data. He had no dog bites. There were no dog DNA there was no dog hair, dogs have lower teeth. The scratches matched the broken tail light.
-
551CARS (@551CARS) reported120th and Dodge under the expressway is still REALLY slow. The ONLY notice from anywhere is a waze report of a major crash. No confirmation from officials
-
W (@wilsnottery) reported@markgurman Good thing I quit using @apple maps a few months ago since they can’t figure out how to fix the storage glitch for CarPlay users. @waze it is for the long-term!
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@loganthefrst @01Ananto It’s still legally not allowed. Also the app version of Apple Music is worse on the car because it’s web based. Having Waze would definitely be nice. If Tesla would fix routing that would be good
-
Salina Mendoza (@inababi) reportedIt’s really dumb that we don’t have a “I don’t want to take the freeway” option on maps products. This is needed @waze @googlemaps Constantly getting the dumbest routes wasting time and actively putting me in MORE traffic. This algo is broken.
-
David (@ChildishBohmbno) reported@MaryKayCabot @Flash_Garrett you should start using @waze so you can see where the cops are hiding and slow down before getting pulled over.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@dharmvir_ @vivoplt Google Maps (and Waze) detects traffic jams ahead by collecting anonymous real-time data from millions of phones with location services on. Your Android phone quietly sends your speed and location to Google. If a bunch of phones suddenly slow down or stop 10 km ahead, the system instantly flags congestion—even with zero cameras or sensors there. It also layers in historical patterns for prediction. That's it. No magic, just crowd-sourced phone data.
-
Sammy Lee (@Sammy__Lee__) reported@BoBbyPleWniaK FSD needs to know to slow down to speed limit when it sees a cop. It should also speak to other Teslas and navigation should know where cops are like waze
-
551CARS (@551CARS) reportedThank you @Waze !! The crash at 120th and Davenport. There was no other info out about that.
