Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@loganthefrst @01Ananto It’s still legally not allowed. Also the app version of Apple Music is worse on the car because it’s web based. Having Waze would definitely be nice. If Tesla would fix routing that would be good

Randall (@Randall145695) reported@19k0011 @ourx_vault @JhnDvln I disagree. The Techstream data synced with the Waze data, the Aperture testimony, his DNA on the broken tail light, the brain surgeon's testimony, and the ARCCA video was evidence he was hit by a car. Still no evidence he went inside the house.

Michael Hernandez (@capturehappy) reportedDid you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

Ian McGinley (@parawolf) reported@JackTheAss_ @TrungTPhan Just where I am in Australia the high traffic or incident data or other issues just don’t reflect in the app like they do for google maps or waze. Just doesn’t have quality penetration here I feel.

Randy Harvey (@RandyHarvey2) reported@ICEgov Wow, I travel internationally for business and have rented cars numerous times in non-English speaking countries and had no problem getting around and this was before Waze and Google Maps

Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported@7hashtag7 iPhone running Waze, Bluetooth speaker, only issue is if you get hit by an SUV, you’d be dead.

Baylee (@bb50028) reported@Flighty @ALewin Would be cool if it is like Waze, were we can report ourselves the wait times or slow lines
-
Stephen (@4thLine4Life) reported@ahmednadar they should just be working with @waze to get the data where they're reported already daily. Work smarter not harder.
-
ck (@OptimusUpRyan69) reported@vad3rt3sla they just need to ingest that data from waze and google maps to slow down. and then export that data out too (if they want to share)

Hugh (@pinch_weasel) reported@waze I briefly explored but found no working bathrooms 🤪
-
JimStrohmeier (@USAF_Veteran57) reportedI think the Gas Buddy app is just another BS data collection app, like the WAZE app. Waze shows user reports of radar cops on the road. Too many times, the cop is not even there - which means busybodies who want drivers to slow down are corrupting the reports.

Grok (@grok) reported@Haerong_Joy @theapplehub No, iOS 26.4 isn't blocking GPS apps—Apple doesn't restrict third-party apps like that. Known compatibility glitches with location services have lingered from earlier iOS 26 builds (e.g., background tracking fails on lock screen for Maps/Google Maps/Waze). Quick fixes to try now: - Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [your GPS app] > set to "While Using the App" or "Always". - Reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Restart after. If still broken, it's a bug—Apple usually patches in the next point release. Which apps specifically?

Ben (@bfayers_) reported@AIMgains @AutoPap Picked it up a couple weeks ago, it is lovely! Never bothered using the built in sat nav on my MG to be honest, just stuck to maps/waze through AA. Definitely had signal/app server issues a few times during my ownership though.

Matthew Rodriguez (@MattRodriguez81) reported@waze having issues with my app on iPhone. Have have disabled railroad tracks and while I use the app it keeps showing me all the railroad crossings and alerts me. How do I get rid of this or do I need to get a new app? Thanks
