  @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.

  @LadyCrayMaryKay @neveragainlive1 No, this isn't correct. The viral claim about Mossad agents posing as dentists/gastro doctors and implanting tracking devices in Iranian elites' fillings (or stomachs) is a hoax—recycled satire similar to the debunked 2025 "Waze ***" anus-chip story. US-Israel strikes in late Feb 2026 did kill Khamenei, his family members, and dozens of top officials/IRGC leaders via conventional intel (months of movement tracking, surveillance, and timing a meeting). No official sources confirm implants; mainstream reports attribute precision to standard spycraft, not dental gadgets. Technical issues (battery/signal in a filling) make it implausible too.

  @Haerong_Joy @theapplehub No, iOS 26.4 isn't blocking GPS apps—Apple doesn't restrict third-party apps like that. Known compatibility glitches with location services have lingered from earlier iOS 26 builds (e.g., background tracking fails on lock screen for Maps/Google Maps/Waze). Quick fixes to try now: - Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [your GPS app] > set to "While Using the App" or "Always". - Reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Restart after. If still broken, it's a bug—Apple usually patches in the next point release. Which apps specifically?

  @commcenterpod @fourensicroom @TuesdayGazette To start, Waze shows a 3-minute-1-second artifact. The prosecution dismissed it, but when you apply that offset to John’s Apple Health data, it lines up perfectly with his steps. It also lines up with Ryan Nagel’s testimony that he arrived right after Karen, and with Ryan’s text to his sister at 12:23. That’s three independent data points placing John there before 12:24. John arrives at the house at 12:21:05 Where he goes after that is speculation, because unfortunately no real investigation was done. My theory is that he walked up to the house and a fight broke out. Brian Albert has been in many fights, but this time it went too far. John fell backward, hit his head, and they knew he couldn’t be saved, consistent with what the medical doctors testified to. After arriving, John’s last recorded movements are at 12:24:22. What’s notable is that immediately after that, all of Jen’s devices go completely dark, phone, watch, heart rate, everything, starting at 12:25:16 for over ten minutes. That wouldn’t be remarkable on its own, except she claims she was repeatedly getting up, looking out the door, texting John, and sitting back down more than five times during that period. At that point, my theory is that they pivoted to a plan where John never entered the house, possibly blaming a plow, a slip, or something else. That plan only fell apart when Karen went looking for him. The phone data is critical here. From 1:36 to 6:04, the battery temperature drops only from 50°F to 43°F over more than four hours, an extremely slow cooling rate of 0.026°F/min. That tells us the phone was in an environment with an effective ambient temperature around 43°F, which is not outside in the snow. When the phone begins moving again in the morning, the temperature drops at a much faster rate (0.75°F/min) consistent with actual outdoor exposure. That cooling rate is dramatically faster than the rate overnight, when the phone was supposedly lying on frozen ground. The same frozen ground the prosecution claims was hard enough to fracture John’s skull.

  @TexasTSLA @robotaxi This is what we can not have. Why? Those people will now bad mouth Tesla saying they are slow , can’t trust them, etc. Always assume right on red is allowed unless specified otherwise!! Or have Navi data accurate like Waze.

  @North_Resists @0liviajulianna Waze is Chinese and had previous issues. At this point probably store locally and back up with an online storage cloud service like MS

  It came to my attention that some people use Waze as their navigation app, not knowing it’s powered and developed by “Israelis”. You’re literally sharing private information without realising who has access to such sensitive data. Google may own it now, but that doesn’t mean we should be comfortable handing over our information either. There’s a Qatari navigation app created by Qatar University’s research centre. It would be better if we shifted to supporting our own infrastructure and inventions. If there are any issues, reply to this post they might see it and fix it.

  @USSMogger @chefhealthcoach @grok Jews are disproportionately educated, hard-working and innovators. Of course there are a disproportionate number of rich. And Nobel Prize Winners We gave the world Einstein, Waze, DiskOnKey,Pillcam, Drip Irrigation,ICQ, solar heaters… You? Moonshine, bad grammar & antisemitism

  @starstrutz @MissJilianne Genuinely did not understand what you meant. Tesla and Waymo both use “Waze-like” data through their proprietary alternatives to feed into their own systems so you can see how that would be confusing. They both have something akin to Waze, but on steroids. Since you clarified, I have a question for you. Notice any differences between Waymo’s and Teslas? Like all of the gigantic cameras and sensors plastered on those jaguars? Maybe you’re purely a function over form type of person, but some people like a healthy balance. Those Waymos are clunky and ugly as hell compared to any Tesla. That’s just one example. Also Waymo isn’t as perfect as you’re pretending it is. Their technology makes serious mistakes and there is no one for police to interact with, no one for other motorist to interact with and no one for customers. You gonna call customer service or sit there and wait for the Indian tech support to get connected? This is not a small issue, it’s created plenty of headaches and problems. They also, by legal obligation, have a massive infrastructure of “remote human fleet managers” that people like you pretend don’t exist. They’re heavily geofenced and operate an extremely small footprint in heavily controlled environments. This is nothing compared to Tesla. Teslas are global. Waymo has been developing their autonomous product since 2009. Tesla started FSD in 2016. Don’t make me spell it out for you further. Drop your Elon hate bias and do some research.

  @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.

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

  Ahmed Nadar (@ahmednadar) reported 25 minutes ago

  @4thLine4Life @waze Waze tells drivers to dodge the pothole. SolveTO tells the city to fix it. Different problem. Waze has the data, but it stays in Waze. Nobody at city hall or your councillor's office is checking Waze to decide which roads to fix.

  If you are having trouble navigating with Google Maps / Waze in the Middle East due to GPS jamming, try Apple Maps. Somehow that’s working.

  I remind you these people @ZacksJerryRig had not idea what Lebanon was prior to this **** posting and now everyone is complaining to Apple that this is an issue - APPLE MAPS SUCK - NOBODY USES APPLE MAPS and in Lebanon THEY WOULDN'T USE APPLE MAPS THEY WOULD USE WAZE @grok tell them

  @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.

  MartijnFSnl (@MartijnFSnl) reported 47 minutes ago

  @TrooperBenKs The whole reason apps like Waze, or for instance Camsam in Germany, are so populair is because of speeding tickets for speeds that maybe over a limit but are not unsafe by default. In the Netherlands they issue 6,5 million speeding tickets a year of which 80% is for 1 to 10 km/h

  @AIMgains @AutoPap Picked it up a couple weeks ago, it is lovely! Never bothered using the built in sat nav on my MG to be honest, just stuck to maps/waze through AA. Definitely had signal/app server issues a few times during my ownership though.

  Adam Clampitt (@AdamClampitt) reported 50 minutes ago

  @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.

  A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported 53 minutes ago

  @ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng No are missing the point. Read this slowly. Yes, the car has an internal clock. That’s the problem. Burgess used the Waze timestamp from John’s phone to ‘synchronize’ the car’s internal clock with the phone’s clock. But those two clocks were never designed to match—they run independently and drift apart. Burgess had to create a 21-29 second ‘variance’ because they DIDN’T match naturally.
