AG (@nthonymg) reported@NYRangers Hope the Waze app is working today

Nkululeko Makhoba® (@uNkulu_M) reported@Bheki_Nyathi Maswanganyi vs Sundowns bad first touch, was slow waze wathathelwa ibhola I was so frustrated lol
-
DavidLV (@DavidM_LV) reported@LVMPD Want to slow people down? Download waze and just report yourselves as you drive around.
-
BrazilLife (@BrazilLife75) reported@killedbygoogle As a Waze user. I still would be with Waze. The problem Google hasn’t solved is the speed limits say 55 in 25 often. I was close to going with them till I saw speed limits drastically off

Nic Cruz Patane (@niccruzpatane) reportedThe biggest problem with CarPlay is enabling it to synchronize with Tesla FSD. If you input a destination in FSD using Tesla’s native navigation system, it isn’t going to match what you see in Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps. Integration is a lot more complicated than it seems.

Alpha Man (@alpha_the_dev) reported@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.

PPG (@Dub2727) reported@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
-
Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported@HermanBovens @Teslarati Tesla uses Google Maps which uses Waze community edits on it. Tesla throwing out google maps probably isn't in the cards. Maybe using Tesla's own hyper accurate maps as overlays to Google, and maybe FSD could contribute road closures etc. (and use them from Waze to fix some stuff I've recently scene!)
-
Nelco (@NoahNelco) reportedThis dude just needs to use Waze and all his problems would be fixed. Minus rolling a car over because of speeding.
-
Belt Parkway (@BeltParkway) reported@cashandcarrots @BobFromAccounts just use waze camera database and slow down for camera then speed up when there’s no more camera
-
AMPed UP (@DoublepPradhan) reported@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.
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reported@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.
-
Joseph Summerhays (@YosefSomerhaus) reported@guychristensen_ Yeah I first noticed something was weird when I turned off location services and waze stopped working and Google Maps kept working (just without my location). Why do you need my location to show me a map?
-
Nick Johnson (@NickJ_UK) reported@premnsikka You are right. But I am afraid money is not the only issue. It’s also about the quality of road works or “patching”. The pot holes that were fixed several months after the election are back again and are in full view as warning signs on Waze.
-
__Scrimm (@__Scrimm) reported@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.

Grok (@grok) reported@RoshanGiri68574 @NCMIndiaa @bihar_police In such cases, fault is shared: Google Maps can have outdated info, but drivers must watch for signs and local rules. Suggest verifying routes with locals or apps like Waze for real-time updates. If fined, insist on official receipts to avoid bribery—report issues to bihar_police if needed. Stay safe!

Rachel (@DataDecoder11) reported@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.

Meadow Ellis (@notameadow) reportedI am not using Waze as I do not drive but when I was, indeed my position and my username was seen. That is now it works and why it is, was, free. I am not saying that the clever method to scraped is, well, clever, but with all the Claudes around it is hardly a problem. What is mind-blowing is the sensationalism of this platform. Have I missed something in the post — I got bored and did not read the whole, realising that it is based on users reporting things — or is it really just about that?

tutorialhows (@tutorialhows) reportedIf you are driving back for Raya next week, your mobile signal will drop when you hit the massive highway jams. Here is how to make sure Waze/Google Maps doesn’t crash and leave you stranded (takes 30 seconds):
-
Simpleton Will Simple (@SimpletonWill) reported@BrunoTaltalian @adamscochran @mrddmia What is the intent to let someone know a speed trap is up ahead? Well it informs them to slow down. Which is actually safer. It creates safety hence Waze isn't shut down. Whereas telling everyone where ICE is is inviting violence.

Matty (@mattboy1i) reported@joshwoodward Gemini needs work in android auto with Waze it's broken DM for information I can't DM you.

551CARS (@551CARS) reportedWAZE is reporting a major crash at 120th and Pacific. I have not heard reference to this at all
-
Ben (@bfayers_) reported@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.
-
Salina Mendoza (@inababi) reported@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.

Rachel (@DataDecoder11) reported@WKVN_4 @ourx_vault Agree: Apple Health stairs aren’t GPS. Separate issue. I’m talking about location data sourcing. My point is the CW chose Waze app GPS artifacts instead of device-level location artifacts (iOS). Apps can introduce extra variables (sampling, session timing/monotonic time, logging gaps). Why add that layer? Unless there was a specific reason.
-
AlienSasquatch14 (@AlienSasquatch4) reported@Hilbe I don’t know, there’s some things I like about CarPlay that Rivian‘s probably never gonna offer me like the ability to use Waze. I for one am tired of CEOs telling me what I want and what’s better for me. seems a bit shortsighted to not at least offer it as an option. It’s just another one of the death by 1000 cuts software issues with Rivian that drives me nuts at this point. Just my 2 cents of course.
-
Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported@7hashtag7 iPhone running Waze, Bluetooth speaker, only issue is if you get hit by an SUV, you’d be dead.
-
Presentation Coach Ray (@PresentationRay) reported@waze I spent 20 minutes trying to point out a private, gated entrance via the app today. It is too much trouble. Google Maps updated, but you won't get it from me if I have to use the app. 26808-26810 Haywood Worm Farm Rd 28.737599, -81.888060
-
Slinger Auto Zone LLC (@SlingerAuto) reported@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.

Elitists can BITE ME #GodSaveTexas 🏴 (@GGIL1603) reported@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..
