    @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

    @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.

    @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

    We’re not going to help these people by bringing in a few hundred thousand of them into our country. There is probably close to a billion of these people. Instead, we need to send people over there to train and educate as many of them as we can in Waze. They could work to fix this problem. They are extremely primitive people. They are inappropriate to be selected to live here in America. ________

    @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.

    @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.

    also has anyone else been having problems with Google and Waze on iPhone lately?? it feels like nothing loads. genuinely feel conspiratorial. I can have like two or three bars of 5G and it's just slow as ****. I mean NEVER loads.

    What is it with #Tesla’s navigation system? Why does it send me to the middle of nowhere most of the time? And why does one have to resort to Waze to get out of trouble? Elon do better please!

    @OGsDontFold Google Maps is so trash. Randomly won't give audio updates for turns, suggests locations further away for no sensible reason, randomly loses connection and stops updating directions. I have tried Waze and it gives me similar problems. There is no winning these days.

    @Proctor4Gov @Maggie725496820 Slowed down in speed for 0.6 seconds but didn’t record any collisions? If she hit John on the road moving in the opposite direction of the flagpole…how ******** did he end up over by the flagpole? If Higgins jeep was parked at the mailbox how come she didn’t crash right into it? You see how other details matter when you’re trying to claim this ridiculous collision? If the TL collided with his arm how’s he get the cut on the eyelid and nose and such bruised knuckles but zero bruising on the arm where he was supposedly hit? The marks on the arm (32) caused by only 9 little holes…no tearing, no leftover pieces in the sleeve…again, **** your janky Waze correlation and address the injuries.

    @ChinaEV_Eng_Lif Try coming to Eastern Europe; Tesla cannot fix its maps for 2+ years. Waze really is the gold standard; too bad there is no native app.

    🚨 99% of local SEO advice is noise, and most people focus on the wrong things. Agencies sell you on content calendars, blog posts, backlink packages, and social media management. None of it moves the needle for a local business. Here's what actually does: 1. Google Business Profile This is where local search is won or lost. When someone searches "plumber near me" or "dentist near me," they are not going to your website first. They are looking at the Maps pack — and the Maps pack is powered entirely by your GBP. The businesses that rank there have: → Every service listed as a category → Professional photos (updated regularly) → 100+ reviews with a 4.7 or higher rating → Posts going up weekly → NAP (name, address, phone number) data that matches everywhere on the web Most local businesses have a half-filled profile from 2019 and wonder why they can't rank. 2. Website structure Not blogs. Not word count. Structure. Google needs to understand what you do, where you do it, and who you serve. That means: → A dedicated page for each service (not one "Services" page that lists everything) → City and neighborhood signals embedded in the right places → Fast load times and mobile-first design → Schema markup so search engines can read your data correctly Your website is not a brochure. It's a signal to Google that your business is exactly what someone in your area is searching for. 3. Citations Citations are every place your business name, address, and phone number appear online — Google, Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, Alexa, Waze, Yelp, Facebook, and 40+ other directories. When those listings are consistent and accurate, Google trusts you more. When they're inconsistent or missing, your rankings suffer — and customers can't find you on voice assistants, GPS, or AI search. Most local businesses have never touched their citations. Half of them have wrong information sitting on directories they don't even know exist. That's the entire playbook. GBP → you show up. Website structure → Google understands you. Citations → Google trusts you. Everything else local agencies sell you is secondary to getting these three right. Fix the fundamentals. The rankings follow. Don't overcomplicate it.

    @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

    If 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

    @KetoOrkyy If you feel like you're awake but you're in a numb state, pull over and get some rest immediately. Highway Hypnosis is REAL and will **** you up. Move your head, move your eyes, park in a nice/reputable town somewhere during daytime and take a little 15 minute walk. If you don't need to be at a place at a specific amount of time, take it slow. NEVER go more than 10 (15 is okay if there's a backlog of people behind you) over when you're on the 10. Drink fluids, don't do too many energy based drinks. They'll give you a good boost but then you'll crash. NO DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS IN A DAY; also limit the amount of time you're driving if you've been up for 12 hours beforehand. Bit of an iffy one, but I never pick up hitch-hikers unless they look like they're on the brink of heat-stroke. Use Waze or Google Maps to know where police are, or if there's an accident ahead, etc. Bring items that you can use to repair your vehicle, duct tape, fix-a-flat, along with what Alexander Dross said in the replies. i think thats all i can think of rn
