    Part 1: 21 one year old Jason Landry disappeared while driving home from college in December 2020. Jason was a student at Texas State University in San Marcos. On the night of December 13th, he left his apartment shortly before 11 p.m. and began driving toward Missouri City, where his parents lived. He was planning to spend time with friends during the Christmas break. His family wasn’t expecting him that night. Phone data showed Jason traveling south through Luling. At around 11:26 p.m., his phone stopped connecting to the Waze navigation app near the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and Austin Street. Investigators believe he continued straight instead of following the main road and entered Salt Flat Road, an isolate gravel road outside town. Jason apparently lost control of his Nissan Altima and crashed through a fence before striking trees. Authorities concluded that it was a single-car accident and found no evidence that another vehicle caused the crash. At 12:31 a.m. on December 14th, a volunteer firefighter discovered the wrecked car. Its headlights were still on and the keys remained in the ignition. Jason was nowhere nearby. His phone was later found wedged between the driver’s seat and the centre console. The initial response created problems for the investigation. A state trooper inspected the scene, arranged for the car to be towed and removed ********* from Jason’s backpack. However, Jason’s clothing and several belongings were left along the road, and no immediate search for a missing driver was launched. Jason’s father, Kent Landry, learned about the crash and reached the area around dawn. After finding Jason’s phone inside the impounded car, Kent returned to Salt Flat Road. Roughly 900 feet from the crash, he found his son’s shirt, shorts, underwear, socks, shoes and watch scattered along the roadway. A small blood smear was found on the clothing, but investigators said it did not suggest a serious injury. There was no blood inside the car. They believe Jason may have received a minor cut while climbing out through the damaged fence or surrounding vegetation.

    Why 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.

    @Don312A @ardeiusmaleus @catgirlprostate How is it “extreme levels of favoritism” when other maps show the land as Israel and Waze doesn’t? I don’t really see the problem?

    Because your phone is basically a tiny traffic sensor. Google Maps doesn’t “see” traffic, it measures behavior. Thousands of phones on the same road continuously send anonymized GPS location and speed data. The system groups these signals by road segments and compares current speeds with historical patterns. When vehicles suddenly slow down, like from 60 km/h to 10 km/h, it flags congestion and turns the road red in real time. Then comes Waze. After Google acquired it, the real power was in combining data, not merging apps. Waze users actively report accidents, police, closures, and hazards, and that information flows directly into Google Maps. In return, Google’s massive data improves Waze’s routing and traffic predictions. So even if you never open Google Maps, your phone can still be contributing to traffic detection. You’re not just using the map. You are the map.

    @baba_Omoloro Someone has to first tell Waze that a car is broken down before Waze tells others though. It's not instant.

    1. Waze the speed trap app that saves you $200+ in tickets per year. The 2026 CarPlay interface for Waze is cleaner than ever, offering crowd-sourced data on speed traps, potholes, and traffic jams without cluttering your digital real estate. Waze is the one CarPlay app every driver should install regardless of whether they use it for navigation. Waze is the go-to CarPlay app for drivers who regularly deal with heavy traffic. Its community-sourced reporting system alerts you to accidents, road hazards, speed traps, and police presence in real time, often before other apps catch up. Real-time alerts from other Waze drivers: police ahead. Speed trap. Red light camera. Construction. Hazard on the road. Car stopped on the shoulder. Object in the road. You're driving 72 in a 65. A Waze alert pops up: "Police reported ahead." You slow to 65. You pass the speed trap. No ticket. The driver behind you without Waze gets pulled over. One avoided speeding ticket: $150-300. One avoided red light camera ticket: $75-150. Waze is free. The math is obvious. Beyond speed traps: Waze frequently finds faster routes than Apple Maps during heavy traffic because its routing algorithm uses real-time data from millions of active drivers, not just historical traffic patterns. If a highway exit is suddenly backed up because of a fender bender reported 3 minutes ago Waze reroutes you before Apple Maps knows it happened.

    @401_da_sarpanch This is the exact thing I've been saying. These ******* clowns don't speak English, have no idea where they are going and will cross five lanes of traffic last minute to hit an exit because their Waze is slow. I've seen mother ******* backing up on DVP exits. @OPP_HSD

    @beyoncegarden I just dealt with a complete ******* Mass State Trooper working a detail at Logan Airport Departures Terminal E last night around 6 PM. I pulled up to drop off my fiancée, hopped out to grab her luggage, and was back in the car in under 30 seconds. Her phone was still connected, so I quickly switched it to mine to connect my Waze for the drive home. Total time parked curbside in the drop-off zone: less than 60 seconds. I wasn’t blocking anyone. This unhinged prick immediately starts waving me off, then yells “NOW! Get off your PHONE!” while aggressively marching toward my car. I nearly missed my exit home because of his bullshit. For no reason whatsoever, this douchebag escalated a perfectly normal drop-off into a hostile confrontation. This is exactly why law-abiding citizens despise cops and call them pigs. Zero justification, pure power-tripping aggression. Just another completely unnecessary, ****** interaction with police.

    Ever 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

    @Mike_the_Elder @NotATeslaApp I totally agree, only problem in some countries like Kazakhstan we do not have turn by turk by tesla at all. I have no idea why. But via apple carplay : waze, google maps, 2gis, maps, yandex maps all work! I wish tesla would just add all the countries as turn by turn! I do not think technically is so difficult.

    Waze has not worked well for me the last two days. I had to uninstalled then reinstalled for it to work. Then on top of that the steering wheel felt weird. Vibrations. I was worried that the vehicle was about to start having issues. Today I realized what the vibrating sensation was. My audio is always on Vol Max. I had forgotten to turn the sound off on Waze. It's been talking to a deaf woman who has been worried that she was going to have to call a toll truck.

    Dear @waze I love your maps! However, since you added the animation at app launch, my app locks up and I can’t put in my desired address. It works about 50% of the time. Please fix it. In the meantime I’ll be using @Apple maps.

    @phibetakitten Don’t get me wrong. It will reach the closed road and detour just fine. The problem was that so many roads were closed, it kept mapping to the closed roads and then doing detours. It was almost endless at one point. Using Waze I was able to navigate it in 1/10 the time

    @JimHendley4NC Just purchased a new vehicle and it most certainly has the option to load and run “CarPlay” both wired and wirelessly. I use Waze via CarPlay without issue. I listen to X spaces wirelessly without issue. This thing even has a wireless charger, though it’s difficult to get alignment with a Gorilla Case on the IPhone!

    @Suzybeau1 @WBergeson11310 @BostonDefender I'm saying you can't compare Life360 with Waze because Waze has better service, just like Verizon and AT&T have better service than U.S. Cellular and don't have the dropped-call problems and don't have the infrastructure the major networks have.
