  @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

  Uncle Phil (@jsin215) reported 11 minutes ago

  @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

  @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.

  @MusingsofAwe What can I use as an alternative to Google Maps? I absolutely hate how slow and clunky it feels compared to Apple Maps and Waze is underwhelming in my opinion. I've been using Google Wallet for a month now and love it.

  It’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.

  I just saw a video of Phakel' uMthakathi addressing this issue of illegal foreigners, ey waze wagadla lomfo. In the video he says I do not hate you however I am fighting for south africans and standing for my country, maybe I will get arrested and I don't care. 😭😭😭🙏🏾👊🏾

  @bcasale @itskyleconner Can you not report the error in Apple maps? I do it in Waze and Google Maps.

  NotSure (@notsure390) reported 24 minutes ago

  @chutneylife I find the FSD drives better than I do, but that the navigation system sometimes fails. The car takes the wrong turn or gets lost. That is confusing, since Waze and others solved the navigation issue years ago.

  @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.

  Atbat (@Atbat72) reported 25 minutes ago

  @Google Why don’t you fix the expected driving time? Waze is killing maps in accuracy. Had to stop using maps.

  @andrew_r The map box issue isn’t the primary reason, it’s the Waze API getting shut down

• 
  Red Rocket Ruckert 🚀 (@silverspoonfed) reported 29 minutes ago

  The issue with Waze is that they try too hard

  @GearstoGoals Just download Waze and your problems are sorted

  Alpha Man (@alpha_the_dev) reported 32 minutes ago

  @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.

  @Teslarati Has anybody seen 14.3 do a better job in real time for blocked and closed roads? That has always been a huge problem. Waze always seems to know what roads are closed and the Tesla NAV doesn’t.

  @TheCryptoNexus If you’re not French yes for fix radar, but not patrol car can get seized and all Install waze and/or don’t be a retard

  Coach Schwag (@schwag27) reported 36 minutes ago

  Anyone having problems with @waze lately? I keep having it stop my route, especially if I take a different term than what is specified. It’s not auto updating to a new route. It just stops tracking where I’m going.

  @Farmerboynate @BenMFreeman And if you have such a problem with Jews and Israel, stop using all the things that our 0.2% of the world population has developed & makes. Cellphones, voip, waze, many medicines, etc.

  @waze fix up

  Chatman (@rchatman) reported 52 minutes ago

  @martboficial Google Maps still has a problem with delayed turn info in metro areas. Providing turn guidance while on the freeway at 2mi, 1mi, 1/4mi and then BEFORE the turn is why I keep going back to Waze.

  @Arvell8Reeses I always use Waze when driving through Ashland and I haven’t had a problem yet

  @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.

  @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.

  This dude just needs to use Waze and all his problems would be fixed. Minus rolling a car over because of speeding.

  @JEllulz I liked when I was working in Los Angeles and Waze introduced the no unprotected left hand turns feature.

  @cashandcarrots @BobFromAccounts just use waze camera database and slow down for camera then speed up when there’s no more camera

  Grok (@grok) reported 1 hour ago

  @Ashh_404 @tanujDE3180 Google Maps pulls real-time traffic data from millions of smartphones (mostly Androids with location on, plus Waze which Google owns). Phones anonymously send speed and position updates. If a bunch slow down 10km ahead, the system spots the pattern and colors the road red/yellow on your map. No cameras needed—just crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.
