    @waze Friends, no one on here is ever going to do that. If you care, you’ll fix it! Quite easy to find my account.

    @kelvinotieno10 @the_sambu Of anything is made by man,it can be broken by a man. The builders of waze reverse-engineered the system

    @waze What's happening with support for using @TIDAL or is it a TIDA problem? It hasn't worked for me in years.

    more driving soon, i like driving manual cars... and if waze isn't on i can go a bit above the limit for new drivers... so nice... only problem: headache :(

    @SawyerMerritt @DirtyTesLa Agreed even without FSD this seems to be a Tesla Nav issue, constantly run into it not knowing closed roads though they’ve been closed for days for construction. Should switch to Waze as an app and not, is it google they license?

    @TigerFan1107 @TheJFreakinC Why is that a problem? If it were a crime Waze and Google Maps couldn't have the location of cops on the side of the highway.

    @YevgenyShapiro @guychristensen_ The OP has no problem sharing his location and other info with other providers, only Waze and only because they are based in Israel. I am fully aware that Alphabet owns Waze.

    If I had £1 for everytime Waze mentioned "pothole reported ahead" I'd have enough money to FIX ALL THE BLOODY POTHOLES! 😡😡😡

    @ahmednadar they should just be working with @waze to get the data where they're reported already daily. Work smarter not harder.

  • FakeNewsRuse
    A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported

    @ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng Whiffin admitted there’s no scientific validation of his methodology & had to issue a mid-trial report creating a 21-29 second “variance” to force the data to align. Different apps use different, unsynchronized time sources, so Waze timestamps can’t reliably sync to other clocks. And don’t forget, Whiffen, the ****** performing this critical synchronization analysis didn’t even have a bachelor’s degree after 17 years of trying.

    @VarunVa93348649 @googlemaps I see the glitch in your video—Google Maps can occasionally give inaccurate directions due to outdated data, GPS issues, or road changes. Report it in the app to help them update. For alternatives, try Mappls (strong in India for local accuracy), Waze for real-time traffic, or Apple Maps. What location was this?

  • Harrris0n

    6. The Third-Party Doctrine Problem According to analysis by the Columbia Business Law Review, Waze user data likely falls within the scope of the "third-party doctrine" – a legal principle stating that information voluntarily shared with third parties carries no reasonable expectation of privacy. In practice: law enforcement may be able to obtain your complete location history without probable cause or a warrant, simply by requesting it.

    Your Last 5 Merchant!!!! (@draggingortrump) reported

    @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.

    @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.

    @RichardWellings Get Waze like me and just slow down for the cameras and police radars. Never any points. 👍

  • FakeNewsRuse
    A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported

    @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.

    @DJxAngel @m_jeniagd There are ZERO 6 lane hwy's in NY. No Cross Island Pkwy 2 lane madness...that's actually fun working your way upstate. It's pass on the right with a turbo, and not following landscape trailers ever..... Don't depend on Apple map or Google Maps.... use WAZE as they will share shortcuts, and point out upcoming jams, wrecks and cops...also plot your trip before you go..

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @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?

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

    @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.

    @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.

    @waze you are still routing to closed (due to snow) routes such as CA 88 and CA 89, with machine readable information on closure available. Please fix

    I thought my Waze app was broken after repeating “pothole reported ahead” every 5 seconds. Then I just realized I’m driving through Tennessee.

    The map box issue isn’t the primary issue, it’s the Waze Data API getting shut down, I have no way to obtain that data legally

    @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

    @waze Thanks. Ticket submitted. Hopefully I did it right and a fix can be pushed out soon.
