    Don’t ever use the Waze app in Lagos if you don’t want problems with LASTMA. #noteToSelf

    @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

    @NdemoKelvin I agree, the problem is that those clowns are always on the move. It's like they're also using Waze bana. You report them, they move afew kilometers ahead.

    @SQZA55 @KIRO7Seattle Not when the boarding pass is activated. We have been working with GPS apps, but so far only Waze has changed their routing.

    I've been known to tag a bunch of police cars on Waze throughout my shift so people slow down and I don't have to work accidents.

    @jessisajew Yep. I'm a happy Waze customer in the US, and excited to continue to use it in Israel. Now about that Moovit app... it's tied with Pango, and I'm having trouble getting them to change out a card that I used 3 years ago because it now requires Israeli ID to use?

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

    see the problem with google maps and waze is that waze has way better cop reporting but every time i try to use it for navigation that shits ***** me all up cause I dont go anywhere normal so I gotta use google maps but the reporting SUCKS ****

    @faustianwigger Reporting a crash on waze after i showed a cyclist the error of his ways (a hit and run).

    If I say I don't use Waze because it's Israeli made then I'm pretentious/too woke/ doing too much. If I say I prefer a different app then it's no problem. I am so tired of the apathy of the world and it being a social sin to give a damn

    @waze @Lean78 Hi Dani, Sorry that the link you shared has no content to continue/explain/report the issue. Just a couple of known issues with any 'next' or 'continue' button! It is a waste of time. It looks like you need clearer internal procedures to handle this.

    This UI bug is causing lots of issues because I can't see the exit number and during driving I have to keep on seeing the map to exactly see the exit on maps and not the exit number on the top. @Waze_UAE @waze #waze

    @teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.

    The @waze app has become a PAIN in my *** over these past few months. At first I thought it may have been a CarPlay issue or due to my data, but it’s not! It doesn’t update in a timely fashion like it used to and I end up having to bust a u turn because I’ve gone the wrong way

  • jPabloSarco
    Pablo Sarco (@jPabloSarco) reported

    It is the same with Waze or Google maps. Sometimes the route I selected is because different reasons and saving time is not important. Looks like a problem with all these routing software

  • buckeyegdo
    Glen O. (@buckeyegdo) reported

    @waze two issues. The mobile camera reporting is out of control. People are reporting Flock cameras when I feel the intent is to report the speed trap cameras. Secondly my icon inexplicably changed and despite changing it in settings, it is not changing on the map screen.

  • Ahmed___khaan
    Ahmedkhan (@Ahmed___khaan) reported

    @elormkdaniel 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.

    @ZachAbramowitz It's heavily context dependent. For some use cases, the downside is equivalent to getting lost from Waze. In others, it's more like a car crash.

    @Suzybeau1 @Martine05885145 The WiFi login time came from Karen’s phone. Guarino’s testimony. Uncontested. The GPS data can be wrong within its stated error range, which was very small while Waze was activated.

    i complained about this in a reddit convo i was having and someone tried to argue that drivers use waze to avoid traffic? even after i'd given multiple examples of drivers not understanding me saying "just turn on broadway instead" it's such a problem i hate it

    You people don’t rate Waze. Any day, anytime. Only problem is tech by genocidaires and spawns of Satan. Active collaboration.

    @jay26440083 @perryodontology nothing is wrong with using waze the app has a reporting feature that helps editors to fix routing issues. so unless someone reports it then it wont get fixed

    @waze You're suggesting that as only some the messages are spoken and others not that its a 'cache' problem????

    @AVGirl4Life 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. If you assimilate to our Waze, we have no problem, but when you want to put your ideals in place, this is a problem. My country is full of capitalist not monarch.

    @jerry_peep @LimChronicle The problem is not using Waze. The problem is reckless driving
