    @Eccentech @jmwilt21 Ah My problem is waze. I can't go in a car safely without waze due to radars

    Waze just lead me into a crazy traffic jam, and trust issues started playing shortly after… coincidence? I think not…

    @SawyerMerritt @Tesla @elonmusk How about crowdsourcing like Waze does but for FSD? As long as Elon can't accept that FSD potentially can't drive better than human in edge cases it won't happen. That's the root of the problem

    @adambroach @deadsquid @waze When I was using it for some time I concluded that waze actively used drivers as probes to verify if a certain route was still slow/blocked/what ever, to update its current over all status.

    @AskAnshul Apple and ATT took me from 2022, to 1998 in minutes. Haven't had cellular data since Saturday, nobody can explain it nor fix it. Now I gotta get around Houston using Mapquest, instead of Waze. #ghetto Was already on the latest update.....

    @AlpineUSA hey folks! Where can I go to get support for one of your head units, the ILX 507 isn't working with Android Auto on my Pixel 6 Pro running Android 13. All AA functions work except for Google Maps/Waze, it's like the GPS isn't working. Tried other phones, they're okay.

    @wellreadhostess Hi there Wazer. Thanks for the feedback. To solve this issue please delete and reinstall the Waze app. Be sure your email address is verified before doing this so you have no problem accessing your account. -Fitz

    @waze Where did the omnipresent LATER button go???? I'm dying without it. I know it's still there in some places but not where it used to be and where is was most convenient. Please tell me this is a botched update and you'll fix it! Because at the moment it's a HUGE downgrade.

    @juliaisobela It does get better, honestly. I avoided the motorway for *years* before I got the confidence to go on them regularly. Waze is a good app for satnavving as it warns you of problems up ahead.

    @ZafranAnon It’s ok man. Several times, i wondered why my phone speaker wasn’t working when i use waze. Turns out, it was connected to my car’s speaker via bluetooth. There was no sound from my car’s speaker either because i opened the radio tab instead of the bluetooth tab

    @AdviserCounsel Waze makes more people slow down than visibly park police cruisers. Also reports potholes, stranded motorists, and accidents to local authorities.

    @SurreyRoadCops @waze Well it worked last week. Took 45mins to leave #Hamble. Only 1.5 miles! Even @HantsPolice had issues leaving HQ at Hamble

    @Dotransport @MbalulaFikile Mr Fix, have you thought about approaching @waze for all the pothole data they have on their app? It's quite accurate.

    @waze @UtahTrucking @UDOTRegionthree Update: US-189 in Provo Canyon is still closed at MP 13, Vivian Park due to a crash. Consider using an alternate route, no estimate for clearance at this time.

    @waze your logic is broken and ended up getting me stuck and not able to use the express lanes. #unhappy #appfailed

    Scott Yates (@scodtt) reported

    @chr1sa The Maps team is too busy monetizing the maps to add any innovation, even when they own the source of the innovation. Now that the Waze threat is neutralized, they just keep adding ads that slow down the app.

    @smokegawd3000 Doesn’t waze take you on the small rods? My issue with maps is starting yesterday it would take me on all the small roads when it used to not and it’s not even giving me the fastest route

    @googlemaps My Google maps is not working I'm using waze Waze also purchased by Google maps

    @juliaisobela Waze is better for parking as it will show you parking options near your destination, but not enough info for my liking to decide where to park, but it will get you over the issue of Maps directing you to a side street the other side of a shopping centre, rather than the carpark.

  • UDOTTRAFFIC

    @waze @UtahTrucking @UDOTRegionthree Update: The crash has been cleared. Major delays remain from Springdale to Spanish Fork.

    @PPistone & @Sammy_Agee I would definitely get Waze again if @TheMikeBagley did the directions. For traffic: use the "big mess in turn 1" drop. For accidents: "TROUBLE IN TURN 2". #TMDNascar

    @_cakegal I feel like whenever I try to use some other kind of map app, I can't figure out how to make it show me the turn-by-turn route in advance and then switch back to real-time monitoring as fast as Waze, but it's probably just user error.

  • ColdWarCliff
    well... (@ColdWarCliff) reported

    @LiamBlizard @thijsniks @thomasforth if you're trying to navigate to a, say, business then postcode is the easiest thing to enter into a satnav, but Google/Waze you just enter the business name (or share a pin). None of those seem any harder or more prone to error than entering three words which could be misheard.

    @waze @UtahTrucking @UDOTRegionthree Cleared: Traffic is normal, no travel delays due to the crash on US-189 in Provo Canyon at MP 13, Vivian Park.

    @Subhashitani1 This was way back before second term BJP. Another sign of trouble - 2019 Ambani openly professed his support for Deora. During the Sachin Waze matter, the inside story was that DGCA wouldn't give the Oligarch the permission for a Helipad. One of the conditions was threat -

    Why is it that normal ppl forget how to drive in the rain? My kid is en route to Bethesda MD, and has witnessed (more than one) car crash carnage. Not good for the (my) nerves. 🙏🏼 Avoided NYC/JerseyPike. There by 11, maybe. #waze #drivingIntheRain 💧
