-
Jacob Riverson (@EU_Cybertruck) reported@itskyleconner EV Waze wouldn’t be too hard to build the API cost would be the largest issue I see
-
Matsobane ke lebitšo laka fela (@MatsobaneKgomo) reportedWaze has been absolutely useless these days!!! @waze fix your nonsense
-
EmperorX (@Caesar_DX) reported@leahfiles Switch to OSMand. Offline opensourced navigation. No tracking and no internet required. Works in the most remote places where Waze or Maps fail and stop working. More features and options than Waze and Maps combined. Take ownership of your privacy.

Bill Shouse (@BillShouse56) reported@QueenAnticommie Waze is great but runs my battery down really fast. Charger wasn’t working once and couldn’t keep using it.
-
DJ (@congressdj) reported@SurScribbles It has problems integrating with many cars (believe, I feel like I always seem to rent them in my travels), I don’t think adding more stuff to the Tesla UI is the answer. Plus, my phone is always with me. I have access to all of the stuff CarPlay would carry over. I can stream music directly from my phone, or use Waze (which I do). At the end of the day, CarPlay is meant to bridge the car to its passenger. But with autonomy, none of that is necessary. Ultimately, you’ll be able to use your phone or laptop or anything else in the car. That’s why I think CarPlay is a step backwards. Not forward.

MB (@paxangloceltae) reported@TomWright165389 Waze died on us within about 20 mins of leaving the M25 for the M1. Google Maps also screwed. Apple Maps remarkably seems to be working even on 1 bar of 5G - and even when the phones go onto SOS or satellite mode. Still, ridiculous that reception is so poor.

Drew Hayden Taylor (@TheDHTaylor) reportedWe’ve been trying to use WAZE to get home but there’s a problem. It keeps telling us Curve Lake has moved! I know we were once a migratory people but really ….

pocomotion (@pocomotion39001) reported@JOKAQARMY1 So you delete waze and use google? They share your dirt with whomever? What issue would cause you to sue waze? It’s free, and you are free to use it or don’t.
-
Rex_Tudor_Coup (@iamgnurr) reported@Serk_TX @deaflibertarian Fine by me. Waze is slow and irritating. Google never gets me lost. And, as a dude, I'll never pull over and ask somebody. :)
-
Chaos Theory (@Samwyri) reportedYou people don’t rate Waze. Any day, anytime. Only problem is tech by genocidaires and spawns of Satan. Active collaboration.

Rahul Sood 🏴☠️ (@rahulsood) reported@wholemars I've got two tickets on FSD.. it's annoying.. Tesla should build in radar detector/waze style police awareness and slow down.
-
AMPed UP (@DoublepPradhan) reported@bauminater I always have WAZE on while my phone is on the charger. and look at it to see where cops . do the same!! I ensure to slow down before about 3/4 miles prior. Problem solved
-
Vic Romano (@GenoakPod) reported@Cappo1Capponi @Biffdon That’s what I never could get with on Waze. How can I document these things like cars broken down, police etc when I am driving.
-
𝘼𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙥 𝘼𝙞𝙧 🛫 (@AncapAir) reported@ArmitageX @waze I was the same way at first, but the hardware is actually solid. @GrapheneOS is working with Motorola to create a non-Google phone with the same hardware hardening they require, but that's still a ways out.

jojo🧷 (@faridssh6r) reportedif it’s not broke don’t fix it fr WAZE IS NOT WORKING ON CARPLAY AND ITS PMMMMOOOOO
-
AnonyMassLawyer (@anonymasslawyer) reported@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.

nycwest45th (@westforties) reported@realericmoutsos @leahfiles who is ever going to have a problem with an app like WAZE that you would need to go to their home office?!
-
Randall (@Randall145695) reported@Asor1113 @DoctorTurtleboy @ALL_WEDO_ISWORK Ok, so now it happened outside before Karen even got back to Meadows? What a fascinating goal post shift. The problem with that is the dog would've had to attack and incapacitate him within about 20 seconds. Here's why: The high accuracy Waze data shows the SUV coming to its first and only complete stop in front of the house by the flagpole at 12:24:38 a.m. John's phone then recorded no movement for about 7 minutes as he sat in the car with Karen. At 12:31:56 a.m., a brief 20-second step event began as he exited the car. And at 12:32:16 a.m., his phone stopped moving until 6:04 when the 3 women found him and called 911.

Big Belly (@_ImJustTy) reportedThe @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

Jack (@jackcoder0) reported1. 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.

user18784 (@User_18784) reported@maggiemoda @HydrogenAtom137 It’s the same issue. The data centers ARE FOR the surveillance grid. All the Flock cameras, and cameras in your car, TV, phone and laptop, every message, conversation, chat, email, browser search, picture, Alexa prompt, your Waze routes, frequented spots, your voice, biometrics…
-
usoma (@usomaahah) reported@EyrahClyne @XavierNaxa I use it a lot. Due to navigation is easy to understand. But a lot of bugs still need to be reported and fix, need more users to use and reports. Even GMap or Waze still has bugs with large user base. Sometimes Apple Maps has newer update that them
-
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.

Kool Aid Man (@koolaidman60833) reported@OnlyInBOS Problem isn’t Waze doesn’t differentiate vehicle size so the Lemmings follow it blindly
-
crazy people out there (@ron_doingstuff) reported@congressdj @Spencer10438140 I was trying to get waze working, so at least it would alert me. I was having issues with waze bluetooth talking over the tesla audio. I could not hear both at the same time. Grok said there was some browser version of tesla waze. Too busy to figure this out so far :)

Rob Peffer (@RobPeffer) reported@BenCarrollMP How many of the last 30 years have Labor been in office? And as far as reporting problems? Just get your blokes on Waze. The public are doing their best to warn each other.

Mkhono onodaka🇿🇦 (@MSIZI_K95) reported@msimanga_wela @ISephara Baba waze wamdala ubheda , what about the victim whose identity was stolen?? The problem with you old people nicabanga kafushane , most of you are not patriotic . Corruption is rife and the economy is declining and Nina nibusy allowing criminals to prosper ?! Ay man sies
-
Dave W (@Sir56ALot) reported@NationalHways @NRManc Then there are the errors; marking overnight closures as 24-hour closures is a particular annoyance. They’re clear to see because Waze routes around them but Google Maps shows green traffic both ways through the “closure”. The data’s useless if it’s not perfect.
-
Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) reported@Financewisdom01 The guy who started Waze told me everyone is a bag of human patterns. The algorithms can do things we can’t. Like what if all the teslas in a parking lot started working together to see the grandmas passing behind in wheelchairs that are hard to see in mirrors.

Skullaz-san🇯🇲 (@xSkullaz) reported@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
