-
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!)
-
Maxim Oskolsky (@oskolsky_maxim) reported@Altawesomeee Built this app to solve my own problem: I use multiple navigation apps, but none of their favorites sync together. I got tired of saving the same places over and over across Google Maps, Waze, Yandex, etc.

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Red Rocket Ruckert 🚀 (@silverspoonfed) reportedThe issue with Waze is that they try too hard

balo (@balo463201) reportedI don't ave. problem with her mouth man...My problem is that e just doesn't think things through. THINK!!!! Yhuuu waze wandibora aliens Phantsi.... Ubetha nini lo9 ndimvotele😓 #BBmzansiS6 #BBmzansi

Jerin Mathew (@maxjerin) reported@RjeyTech Price is never the problem with G offerings, it is future innovation (Nest, Waze). If they were trying to compete with Apple Watch and augment another data point to their ecosystem, they’ll abandon the product if revenue stream doesn’t match their expectations.
-
Nthambe (@Nthambemasera) reported@msiziworld Waze has no problem thre settings by the user are a problm
-
Matthew Stevenson (@ENTP_Innovator) reported@bcasale @itskyleconner Can you not report the error in Apple maps? I do it in Waze and Google Maps.
-
Pepe Mtz. (@PpKarOn) reported@killedbygoogle I dont see Google addressing the fundamental issue that is making me using waze, so i dont think so, at least not for the moment
-
Myles 🇯🇲🇧🇧 (@myles_premium_) reported@Liononezero You need a few sure but Most of the work is allocating tasks. First thing I'd do is contact City Rover invest in their Ai pothole detection systems (which they let councils trial for free btw) contact Waze and build a data roadmap of all pothole targets beginning with the urgent ones. Biggest issue here is data. Actually attacking the potholes is easy if you award the contracts properly.
-
JimStrohmeier (@USAF_Veteran57) reportedI think the Gas Buddy app is just another BS data collection app, like the WAZE app. Waze shows user reports of radar cops on the road. Too many times, the cop is not even there - which means busybodies who want drivers to slow down are corrupting the reports.
-
Steve Cook (@cook_stevo) reported@waze your alerts are broken with the latest update
-
Chatman (@rchatman) reported@martboficial Google Maps still has a problem with delayed turn info in metro areas. Providing turn guidance while on the freeway at 2mi, 1mi, 1/4mi and then BEFORE the turn is why I keep going back to Waze.
-
Joel Muthama (@muthamajoelKE) reported@kelvinotieno10 @the_sambu Of anything is made by man,it can be broken by a man. The builders of waze reverse-engineered the system
-
John Jaani Janardan (@Ex_secular786) reported@bornauthority Fitness certificate is granted by central authorities. If it comes to this then please remember pooja khedkar case, Waze, Anil Deshmukh etc. fix your personal problems then wonder about others
-
N (@Celatus3) reported@SecDuffy I’m so infuriated with congestion pricing! It feels so violating between Waze sending you through zone when you can easily avoid it to feeling completely exploited! It’s not even worth working after having to pay all this. And I’m not taking train after incident I had!

uMARAZOR (@zizithebadgal) reporteduMpilo waze wavelelwa… how is she responsible of fixing her parents marriage??? Putting that responsibility on a child to fix problems he caused?? K’qala wathi makazale manje uthi makalungise izinto zabantu abadala?? Oh he hates uMpilo!! #UthandoNesithembu #Uthandonesthembu

Grok (@grok) reported@Ashh_404 @tanujDE3180 Google Maps pulls real-time traffic data from millions of smartphones (mostly Androids with location on, plus Waze which Google owns). Phones anonymously send speed and position updates. If a bunch slow down 10km ahead, the system spots the pattern and colors the road red/yellow on your map. No cameras needed—just crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.

Michael Hernandez (@capturehappy) reportedDid you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

JasperReikevik (@jaspertube_) reported@GeminiApp @Google We use Waze and we don't use Maps but Waze has problems connecting to Gemini so this is another missing spot
-
OKWUDILI 🇳🇬🏴 (@philip_Bawer) reported@AsidanyaMiracle Stop using Google map, it will take you straight into problem rather use Waze. It will find all the nearest and hassle free route for you.
-
EZ Street Asphalt (@EZSTREETASPHALT) reportedBig step forward from @Waymo and @waze using technology to identify potholes faster. But identifying the problem has never been the hardest part. The real challenge is fixing it—quickly, safely, and without disruption. That’s where EZ Street® Ambient® Asphalt comes in. • Works in water • Ready for traffic immediately • No heat, no plant, no waiting Smarter roads don’t just detect issues. They solve them.
-
Jonathan Mills (@ICommunityNote) reported@DillonLoomis @butala_aryan Can they just partner with Waze and fix everything overnight? That would be good.
-
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
-
Ken (@GeauxTiger66) reported@TuesdayGazette Waze was a slow speed, less than 20 mph, at times like 5mph
-
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
-
Dogsrgreat : pass the A1🤔 (@Dogsrgreat2) reported@FIRs_GIRs @BLKMDL3 They are working on a Waze integration. They already use Google Maps but I have heard rumors of this for a while. They try to cut every penny of cost. It’s about ROI. Software is cheap hardware is expensive.
-
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
-
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.

CassandraComplex (@notsosuperwoman) reported@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.
