    so there’s definitely an issue with apple gps services 😵‍💫 we’ve used 2 phones and 3 different maps (google, apple maps and waze) and it either says no gps or is showing we’re in the middle of the woods

  • scottisatwork Scottisatwork (@scottisatwork) reported

    @pnjaban What happens when you use Waze? What happens when you login to Twitter on android using your face and your finger print ? How about proton mail app? they have the encryption keys if they want them. They tie it all back to you & know where you are in real time.

  • SazeracNELA Chuck Taggart 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏻 (@SazeracNELA) reported

    @BradinLA I haven’t had that issue myself. It often saves me time. It’s way better than Waze, which I deleted after the umpteenth time it had me avoid a perfectly good traffic light to make a left turn at a stop sign across three lanes of busy traffic, and were ***** when I complained.

  • DarthPuffMaN Bearded Wonder (@DarthPuffMaN) reported

    @waze Hey no problem. I've been a beta tester in the past. I'll enable debug mode again, and will report when needed.

  • cardi11o NC (@cardi11o) reported

    @elonmusk please fix the damn GPS or add a Waze widget

  • GrumpyGit1960 Still a Grumpy Old Man (@GrumpyGit1960) reported

    @BBCNews Deluded council of the first order. Maybe sort out problems elsewhere and traffic might flow better? Will anyone tell Waze? What if you're lost? Stupid idea.

  • urbrilliant Think before you speak out, Intel goes further. (@urbrilliant) reported

    @AskLyft I just want to say your help support system is the worst they care very little about those who work to make Lyft exist. Also if the problem with the Waze GPS and Lyfts app continues I see a lot of great drivers leaving this platform. Just saying. Not happy!

  • vbuberen Volodymyr Buberenko🇺🇦 (@vbuberen) reported

    @PreusslerBerlin One more strange issue with Android Auto is that if you have Battery saver turned on at some point navigation freezes and doesn't update your location till you wake up/unlock your phone. Happens both in Google Maps and Waze, so definitely not something with a specific app.

  • vanessajones JerseyGirlinGA 🌊🌊🌊🌊💙 ☮️🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦🌻 (@vanessajones) reported

    into Waze & ended up at a Dollar General a mile away. I went in and asked the cashier and was overheard by a customer who directed me. I voted with no problems once I found it. I drove it again today and see that there are two entrances, one of which has 1

  • The_Pear_Son Sam P (@The_Pear_Son) reported

    @elonmusk here's another one, how about an option that uses the Waze police, radar, accident, weather hazard detection features to automatically slow down the vehicle if needed with a warning to the driver to slow down.

  • PRGIRLL Alicia (@PRGIRLL) reported

    @cwharris773 @sakoiya @queenveej Using waze is the first problem lol….

  • dearappauthors dearappauthors (@dearappauthors) reported

    @mytweetontheweb @waze I don't. But if I did, that wouldn't be the time to download it! That's the problem. Hence, it's installed and waiting in case something goes really wrong.

  • TheAmazingTiaa Terpaling Tia (@TheAmazingTiaa) reported

    Almost every apps I need to use today like Waze, ParkPerak, Maybank, BigPay semua crash. Tetiba everything minta update at once aiyooo!

  • UDOTTRAFFIC UDOT Traffic (@UDOTTRAFFIC) reported

    Driver Alert: Summit County, both directions of I-80 are closed at MP 173 about 3 miles west of Emory due to a crash. Expect delays, closure is expected to last less than one hour. For updates check the UDOT Traffic App or @waze @UtahTrucking @UDOTRegionOne

  • SeanMatthew13 Sean (@SeanMatthew13) reported

    Anyone have trouble connecting to @waze before they start their drives? I always have to use Google maps instead just to find out which turns I need to make first. Then I close Google Maps and use Waze. Been like this for years now.

  • april_the_awes April (@april_the_awes) reported

    @googlemaps my parents mailing address brings you to the wrong place (miles away) in Google maps. This causes delays for deliveries. How can this error be fixed? My mom has tried emailing with no response. @waze is also wrong. @applemaps is correct.

  • adrianfletcher Adrian Fletcher (@adrianfletcher) reported

    @TeTramaine WAZE - A far more accurate map period, but here in my island barbados, google’s traffic is more accurate, more people use android phones. WAZE could be better like in Trinidad everyone uses it but it isn’t popular here. Apple Maps is WAY behind - no traffic, lots of map issues.

  • hoxtonrich Rich (@hoxtonrich) reported

    @jimbryant40 @BrendaPuech @AirRoadsHnps Hi Jim. I think the answer is sadly no. Within seconds the camera is on waze & drivers slow down. 5mins after we’ve gone it’s just as bad. ONLY safe design works - that means reducing vehicle numbers & restricting flows. The loud loons need to be forced to change by design.

  • dearappauthors dearappauthors (@dearappauthors) reported

    @mytweetontheweb @waze We also need to know if people have left nails, broken glass, tacks or other things to cut through our tires.

  • idrismuminah1 Muminah (@idrismuminah1) reported

    They need a Waze but for McDonald’s to let ppl know when the ice cream machine is broken bc ***** wtf😭we just tried 3 diff spots

  • samthechauffeur Sam (@samthechauffeur) reported

    @arambha__ I'm not an Uber driver. I live in an area where they think it's appropriate to close roads all the time. Waze has a major issue in identifying closed roads and it is ridiculously difficult to tell it that the road ahead is closed in order to generate an alternative route.

  • Readandquestion Best Practices (@Readandquestion) reported

    @ZSpezakis @AdamKinzinger Sorry but the usual Waze aren’t working and we are running out of time. Literally out of time. Period.

  • ChereMadeline Chanel DaCosta (@ChereMadeline) reported

    Ofc my Waze app isn’t working right now when I need it the most

  • totorosammy Samantha Chiu (@totorosammy) reported

    @elonmusk PLEASE fix Tesla navigation. It is unfortunate when I’ve got to rely on Waze because my Model Y keeps nav-ing me into closed roads and looping me around Atlanta. I know with your tech it can be so much better 👍

  • PinkPanther220 Mark D21 (@PinkPanther220) reported

    @mashaslamovich Google maps used to be the stupid cousin of Waze, but Waze has such connectivity problems, I don't even use it any more, hardly. If Apple Maps is worse that GM, it must be totally useless!

  • grodysattva yeller laces (@grodysattva) reported

    @SteampunkMuppet waze is really kinda useless for anything that isn't speed traps or quickest crash info, no one with a short commute should use it

  • Izznnn zan (@Izznnn) reported

    @moonthebebita @azyanator yea im gonna have problems looking at waze to get to you

  • NavyStrang Nathan Strang (@NavyStrang) reported

    @JJFilson @TimothyDooner One thing I would like to know is what map software they use. Open software like Waze (or who use Waze data) have a big issue because Waze editors hate railroad crossings. The crossing adds a node and the node messes with traffic data. Many editors actively delete rail crossings

  • Ant_089 Mr Dlamini (@Ant_089) reported

    Waze wangisiza u Mbongeni. Thought I was gonna be one of those weird guys that chill at the bar all alone drinking, looking like they’re trying to drink their problems away.
