Njoroge (@Joe_AlexN) reported@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.
-
🫶🏽forcoloredsonly. (@waytooblunt_) reportedWaze was already based in Israel. Please stop the fake outrage every time yall discover a new piece of information. You move over to google or apple and you still gone have the same problem.
-
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.

coco the pailot (@pailot_the_coco) reported@waze FIX APPLE CAR!!!!
-
Nthambe (@Nthambemasera) reported@msiziworld Waze has no problem thre settings by the user are a problm
-
Washington State Ferries (@wsferries) reported@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.

The Bass Hog (Jonathan Marlow) (@THEBASSHOG) reported@saltedfishdivin @BarrettYouTube Because you use the word, private prison, you have to understand that those are not government run operations. So it as a private business contracted to house criminals and it is trying to come up with Waze to make it profitable, rather than a complete business loss. One way is to get government subsidies, the other way is to allow them to employ their prisoners at a very low salary. A lot of the jails are starting to require that prisoners pay three dollars a day for their room, board and healthcare. If the prisoner is not already wealthy enough to pay that out of their own pocket, then the only option they really have is working. The other legal issue is the “except clause” of the 13th amendment, which says that slavery is abolished except as punishment for crime. The thing with Chinese slave labor is that they are turning people into criminals simply because of their religious beliefs and ethnicity, not because they committed a terrible crime.

MockingbirdShot (@MockingbirdShot) reported@LeinadFre @FPSCANADA_SS_ZZ @koshercockney Just a taste of Israeli technology inventions: Computing and Software: Israel invented the first commercial firewall, ICQ (the first instant messenger), and the Intel 8088 processor that powered the first IBM PCs. Medicine: The PillCam is a pill with a tiny camera you swallow to check for gut issues. Other tools include the ReWalk robotic suit that helps people with leg paralysis walk again. Agriculture: Israel is the home of modern drip irrigation (like Netafim). This system sends water drop-by-drop straight to plant roots to save water in dry climates. Cars and Road Safety: Waze uses data from drivers to map the best routes. Mobileye makes computer vision chips for cars to warn drivers about road hazards. What have you done? Antisemitism, although you certainly didn’t invent that. 🙄

Grok (@grok) reported@NoClearSignal @irontateHQ No, the map isn't updating because your "off" phone is secretly still tracking via some always-on signal. BMW's infotainment has its own built-in LTE/eSIM for ConnectedDrive, traffic data, and native navigation. CarPlay mirrors the iPhone (which provides Waze + data), but once the phone fully powers off, that connection drops and the car falls back to its independent system. Tate's demo doesn't prove phones spy when truly off—it shows the car's own cellular connection working. A fully powered-down phone has no active radio, mic, or GPS.
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@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.
-
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
-
Avni (@FawkOffAhole) reported@apple the latest beta up date seems to have some glitches! Uploads are slow ! And Waze has issues too I have to unconnect from the infotainment system to get the screen on it otherwise it stays frozen
-
Red Rocket Ruckert 🚀 (@silverspoonfed) reportedThe issue with Waze is that they try too hard
-
DestroyerGawd (@Mdoo_007) reported@msiziworld Waze is a community app.. it constantly needs people/users to update on any issues on a particular route… if no one does anything.. it’s simply useless!
-
Tom Karren - Agent Operator. (@tomkarren) reportedFSD needs some systemwide Waze type features. Road construction is one of the biggest issues with navigation.
-
Orvill Samanta (@orvilldesign) reportedWhy is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.
-
LT (@LtMunst) reported@TeslaKing420 A simple fix if Tesla would just bite the bullet and license Waze.
-
Nozi (@nozi03) reportedWe have a brand new problem in South Africa....Ntsiki Mazwai! Waze wasilaya uThemba @euphonik, we are subjected to her nonsensical tweets day in and day out for Elon's coins so he can pay him.
-
Property and Cars kings (@CarandProperty) reported@Julius_S_Malema @NgizweMchunnu Working for you is real colonisation. Imagine wasting all the time for your lawyer just for and apology? Chief use your resources very waze. How does and apologise benefit the ground flow of Eff? Yeah @FloydShivambu really was running the retail store for you.
-
Bonf1re¹ (@bon_macharia) reported@Kimuzi_ @xysist @indiiazi Hadi huku nowadays ata google imenishida kutumia it's too slow and very inaccurate compared to waze
-
Jen (@LegalMindedGiGi) reported@Dan_Donovan_17 @factsdontlie10 I believe the Waze time issue was discussed in first trial.
-
David Makogon (@dmakogon) reported@AustyUSA Don’t forget all the people who hate on CarPlay, with snarky comments like… comparing to a coke freestyle machine. Tesla software is nowhere near perfect. Map/direction issues, non-trivial air control, small fonts & touch zones, no Waze, no proper group texts, on and on.
-
Dan Gingerich (@dangitman50) reported@DLCampanile That's why I use Waze. I've never been done wrong by Waze, and twice screwed myself over when I didn't get off a highway when Waze told me to. (Both cases, there was a crash ahead I didn't know about, and Waze had a way around it.)
-
🔥 (@ArtTed___4) reported@PieFaceMark I’ve been working in London these last few weeks and been beating Waze and google maps every time going home . Using the #knowledge 👌🏽
-
Gordon Cassie (@gordon_cassie) reported@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.
-
Ken (@GeauxTiger66) reported@TuesdayGazette Waze was a slow speed, less than 20 mph, at times like 5mph
-
Matt Osborn (@themattosborn) reported@FSDyinzer @TheAccuracyPoli @Teslarati 💯 That is exactly what I was talking about. It is quite frustrating. There are plenty of navigation systems out there that they could model from. Why is it still an issue? And their map data is pretty old as well. A peer managed mapping system similar to Waze would be awesome.
-
TACO 🌮 (@ThatoEastside) reported@kaizen_ceo @BulawayoForever Why was it SA's responsibility to take him out? As citizens who knew the election was unfairly won why didn't you take a stand and remove him yourselves? Waze wasinyela wenja we have our own problems
-
(((Aaron Walker))) (@AaronWorthing) reportedWhat the hell, @waze and @googlemaps I was trying to see a friend in the hospital and first I used Waze. I told the system not to put me on any toll roads and I knew from previous travel it was possible to get there without going on a toll road. Yet your system kept trying to put me on a toll road So I switched to Google Maps, and you guys were doing the same thing. I told you not to put me on toll roads and you kept trying to put me on a toll road. FIX THIS

SoLindo Mahlangu (@_XolaniMahlangu) reported@BamUyatandwa @Psyfo_05 @Ongavinjelwa Waze wazenza I Advocate yakhe.All the guy was pointing out is that she must really be hurt by The OP new kit that she post about this so early in the morning.I doesn't matter if she is up working or not the point still stands though.
