🇩🇲 🍉 She Who Resembles God🪞 (@TiPassie) reportedIf I say I don't use Waze because it's Israeli made then I'm pretentious/too woke/ doing too much. If I say I prefer a different app then it's no problem. I am so tired of the apathy of the world and it being a social sin to give a damn

Justice (@VerityI952) reported@Suzybeau1 @WBergeson11310 @BostonDefender I'm saying you can't compare Life360 with Waze because Waze has better service, just like Verizon and AT&T have better service than U.S. Cellular and don't have the dropped-call problems and don't have the infrastructure the major networks have.

Watanabe (@EzidLee) reported@DevinOlsenn I have no problem with mine. Waze? WTF is that.

Bob Nordberg Bird Man Bob (@birdmanbob4) reported@leahfiles Here's your reply from the AI that just don't lie Speculative Intelligence Analysis: Waze as a Compromise Vector Location Pattern Exploitation**: Waze's continuous GPS pings, route history, speed data, and timestamps create a granular digital shadow of a target's movements—revealing regular visits to sensitive locations (e.g., hotels, clinics, private residences, or protest sites). An intelligence actor with access could cross-reference this against public records, social media, or other surveillance to build "kompromat" dossiers on affairs, medical issues, financial dealings, or undisclosed associations, then use timed leaks or implied exposure to coerce compliance, payments, or information. Real-Time and Predictive Targeting**: Live traffic/ETA data allows dynamic interception or influence operations—knowing exactly when someone is isolated in a vehicle or arriving at a vulnerable spot. Combined with app permissions (microphone/camera in some scenarios, or linked device data), it could enable opportunistic collection of audio/visual compromising material or facilitate "honey-trap" logistics by predicting availability and routes for assets. Historical data also predicts future behavior for pre-positioning. Network and Ecosystem Amplification**: Since Waze feeds into Google's broader data lake (and originated as an Israeli-founded company subject to local laws), aggregated user data can be queried at scale for social graph mapping—identifying who travels together, meets whom, and when. In a full compromise scenario, this integrates with OSINT, hacked devices, or partner-nation sharing to pressure targets via family/financial exposure, or even engineer "accidents"/discrediting events by manipulating perceived travel patterns. Privacy controls are weak once data leaves the device, and legal jurisdiction adds layers for state actors. This remains hypothetical and draws from known app telemetry practices. Actual misuse would require lawful (or illicit) access and is constrained by laws in most jurisdictions; strong operational security (VPNs, app isolation, location spoofing, minimal permissions) mitigates much of it.

Eze Adnαh 👑 (@ezeadnah) reported@baba_Omoloro Someone has to first tell Waze that a car is broken down before Waze tells others though. It's not instant.
-
Lauran™ (@lauranruddy) reported@NYSDOTHV Any update on when this will reopen? Also, are you going to fix the signs stating that it's closed? And maybe alert @waze that it's still closed? They routed me there the other day and wah wah, still closed. Thanks.
-
fluxity (@tjosephfluxity) reported@KSTP People will just use Waze and slow down, more tax money wasted. Common nature of people has to be considered for this crap before it's put up. Washington DC had a ton of them and everyone just mapped them - dumb.
-
James Blackley (@Kingstonian84) reported@Nalolie21 @MagaSgt @waze His own words in the video saying he likes seeing minors topless… I think the problem is you are too scared to admit you support **********.
-
Angie F. (@Angiebangie15) reportedI ABSOLUTELY hate when I put @waze on sleep mode and it comes back on on its own. I don’t want to drive through familiar areas with Waze running in the background. The app shouldn’t run unless I turn it on. Fix it because I’m close to deleting it!!!
-
@TeslaJuniperDriver (@JuniperDriver) reported@MetaverseGamma @diaper You would think, Waze has no issue with it but Mapbox apparently does. If FSD doesn’t see a speed change sign, the majority of the time it won’t change
-
JaderReloaded (@jader_reloaded) reported@DevinOlsenn You don’t need Waze. Drive the speed limit and problem solved

john Xanax lynch (@burnerversity) reported@waze fix the ******* wait times nothing has been accurate
-
InOneScoop (@InOneScoop) reportedShouldn’t Tesla fix its navigation issues instead of terrafab first? I know many like my fam that paused FSD subscription due to continuous navigation intervention. I man even Mapquest is more accurate. Hear me out: solution? Terra Giga Map Fab. A 335 football field long factory that will be the platinum (not gold) standard of all mapping. Compute won’t be a problem for this either because the terrafab 1 will then be joined by terrafab 2 which will be 10x larger for colossal compute power. I know I know you are asking “but why not just license and integrate Fkn Waze?” Well, for that we have to wait for Elons master plan 18 due in 2029

Punished Sneed (@RacismFan45) reported@faustianwigger Reporting a crash on waze after i showed a cyclist the error of his ways (a hit and run).
-
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
-
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.
-
Nigel Poncewattle (@poncewattle) reported@oi8achevy @diaper @TeslaKing420 Wrong speed limit data can be fixed easily in Waze by submitting a map report. A local editor can fix it. Those fixes usually flow through to Google eventually. I've contacted the local editor group about getting this road fixed.
-
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…

Leon Kelem (@LeonKelem) reported@MagaSgt @waze I'll save you the trouble and delete you first. Hopefully many others will follow my lead.

Jackson (@phillygeordie) reported@Don312A @ardeiusmaleus @catgirlprostate How is it “extreme levels of favoritism” when other maps show the land as Israel and Waze doesn’t? I don’t really see the problem?
-
Toby (@maybetob) reported@khalidoncrypto @thedjmish waze is an eyesore and constantly has issues. all the actual useful "features" people brag about are also on google and apple maps
-
Brusimm.com (@Brusimm) reportedDear #Waze, wtf is your problem today, telling me to take the long way home. The way I've never taken, while my usual, shorter route was just fine??? I remember when waze was the better option. And now... ? SMH.

jdx (@jdxcode) reported@TheLaluka @waze @gouvernementFR I suspect if you were asking in the US they'd want nothing to do with it for liability reasons, no idea if there would be similar issues in France

Evan (@Evan881110) reported@deer__zone @sharkincrisis I used Google maps and I never have these issues. He muse use waze

AnonyMassLawyer (@anonymasslawyer) reported@Suzybeau1 @Martine05885145 She got within WiFi range at 12:36:39. Waze records very precise GPS data (error radius less than 5m) with accurate timestamps. From the time Waze was activated (12:20) to when then arrived at 34 Fairview (12:24:38) we have incredibly precise time/location data for the SUV

waze (@waze) reported@PURE_IGNORANCE 1/2Hey Jean Paul, I understand you're having routing issues. That can be frustrating. Waze navigation is crowd-sourced in real time, so reports depend on input from other drivers. If you see a report that isn't accurate, tap Not there to

william acevedo (@william74783332) reportedThe old Waze fail because there’s no restrictions on the billions of dollars if you have a restriction point it at this money will be used for homelessness. That’s a restriction no restriction they do whatever they want with it. That’s the problem. Federal funding a restriction
