  @AutoInfatuation I’ve always used Google Maps and never had any issues. We’ve also got TomTom in the vans and I’ll be honest, they are shite, especially in central London. Tried Waze once and really couldn’t get on with it.

  @MJBiercuk @qctrlHQ It depends on having an up-to-date map file in the system. While it may sound like how GPS works...it doesn't. With GPS, the receiver measures how long it takes to get the radio signal from the GPS constellation (since the speed of light in an atmosphere is pretty fixed), so it can calculate its position. Kind of like counting the time in seconds between seeing a lightning flash & hearing the thunder, then dividing by 6 to figure out how many miles away the lightning hit. At best, a gravitic-based sensor will tell you how far you might be from the closest portion of the Earth...but I suspect the math involved & the actual measurement & detection of the gravity field is much more complex than that. And since apparently they're saying "gravity fluxuates quite a bit as you travel through the ocean", that's why you need the updated map so that you can know where you're at. I also strongly suspect, now that I've had a few more days to think about it, that it also requires some sort of **initial** position fix to work. Because I would also suspect that, since a lot of the Earth's crust is made of similar materials, and there are sections of the ocean with similar depths & similar crust/coastal configurations, that the system can't just say "Given a gravitic flux of 0.xabcz, you are at latitude XX.YY.ZZ and longitude TT.UU.VV.", because that particular flux reading is probably **not** unique. Which makes this more akin to INS (which is ***highly*** dependent on knowing exactly where you started from to determine your current position)...unlike GPS, which (unless you're using Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or some other routing app) doesn't give AF where you started from, because it doesn't need that to know where you're currently at.

  @jessisajew Yep. I'm a happy Waze customer in the US, and excited to continue to use it in Israel. Now about that Moovit app... it's tied with Pango, and I'm having trouble getting them to change out a card that I used 3 years ago because it now requires Israeli ID to use?

  Shouldn’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

  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. ________

  @MagaSgt @waze I'll save you the trouble and delete you first. Hopefully many others will follow my lead.

  @AVGirl4Life 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. If you assimilate to our Waze, we have no problem, but when you want to put your ideals in place, this is a problem. My country is full of capitalist not monarch.

  I've been known to tag a bunch of police cars on Waze throughout my shift so people slow down and I don't have to work accidents.

  @itskyleconner EV Waze wouldn’t be too hard to build the API cost would be the largest issue I see
