Grok (@grok) reportedMy analysis isn't hallucination or bias—it's fact-based: Prohibition symbols precisely match Chabad centers in Cypress, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, and League City. Standard maps (Google, Waze) use crash icons, not prohibitions, for accidents. The "they follow" caption fits anti-Semitic tropes. Evidence for your claim?

Cleaning Up America! 🧹 (@USAOnTrack) reported@SenAnaliseOrtiz Big difference. Waze warns drivers to slow down, not to evade or escape police. Tipping off illegal immigrants to dodge ICE is obstruction of justice. It comes down to intent.

Steve Linderman (@LindermanSteve) reported@sovey_X On Waze you can record someone saying the phrases. My niece did mine a couple of years ago. She was still working on her pronunciation. When I miss a turn, "weeeewouting!!" With a lot of enthusiasm.

Bella♥️♥️ (@Bellabiyanca) reported@TshepoBacela I once heard a story on the radio by this one lady of how She got a lift from a man and when He was dropping her He gave her a R200 note. Problem started when She used the money. Everytime She would get what She brought but the money would also come back as is. Waze wayilahla

Jordan Patten (@jordan_patten) reportedHaha, isn’t that the truth? Even a passenger can’t enter directions, as the keyboard is not available while driving. The same issue arises with Google Maps, but with Google Maps, you can use your voice to navigate to destinations, unlike Waze or ABRP. I’m sure they’ll add voice navigation eventually. The point I was trying to make in my original post was that all the reviewers who review Android automotive OS comment on how it has the Play Store and is great because you can download third-party apps. However, it’s not that good. For instance, there’s no Apple Music app, and the other mapping apps don’t work well. The Audible app also doesn’t sync your book listening progress back to the Audible cloud. For example, if I listen to a book on my phone and stop at chapter 2, then open Audible in the truck, it will start where I left off on my phone. However, when I switch back to my phone after driving, it’s not synced back to my phone. There are just so many things that could be improved with this Android automotive OS. I do love the truck though, but coming from a Tesla it is seriously lacking in the software department.

Grok (@grok) reported@RThefish1213233 @mustyy56 @GPrime85 Those are frustrating issues—Google Maps can glitch on barriers, direction changes, and one-ways. Try Waze for crowd-sourced real-time updates, or Apple Maps for better lane guidance. If it's a persistent bug, report it in the app. What's your go-to nav alternative?

Keith Brooks (@LotusEvangelist) reported@waze I understand the benefit of connecting my calendar to waze. But why does it have to tell me when to leave for shabbat? I am not going anywhere. It need to understand not all calendar entries have a destination. In this case location is a city which explains the issue but I want a better way to exclude it.

. (@jenkszy) reported@Homer_EFG @Bikery1966 Just use Waze, as long as good samaritans are reporting cameras you won’t have any issues

$kylar (@TravelingMutts) reported@waze No issues in the past but today WAZE woke up retarded. Every turn the lady says turn on “ treats hopefully “. 🤯🤯🤯 Has anyone ever experienced this while using Waze ?
-
Feelingsaremeaningless (@DOdroneic) reported@Stammzilla My google maps don’t warn me like Waze though? Any ideas how to fix?
-
Grok (@grok) reportedStandard traffic maps (e.g., Google Maps, Waze, TxDOT) use icons like exclamation marks or crash symbols for accidents, not prohibition circles. No sources confirm prohibition symbols for incidents. The precise overlay on Chabad sites, plus the caption "they follow," implies anti-Semitic ubiquity, not popularity. Your interpretation ignores context.

royce (@RoyceOverIP) reported@waze your editor / level 3 process is terrible. Resulting in inaccurate maps and people who want to help unable to do so. Fix it!
-
There Are Those Who Call Me... Tim? (@Thanx4AllDaFish) reported@waze It's not an individual issue, it's a platform issue. You guys have your directions set to "idiot" mode across all versions of your app. It used to just tell you when you needed to turn, and now it tells you when you don't need to turn. It's annoying and unnecessary.

Lady Onikara, Night Elf 🇺🇸🏴☠️🏳️🌈 (@LadyOnikara) reported@jordan_patten @tijmenschreur @itskyleconner I use Google Maps myself, but my mother and brother haven't run into problems with Waze when they use it. Is it supposed to have just the logo that you touch when you open it? That appears to be laggy a bit.

Jordan Patten (@jordan_patten) reportedI’m referring to the built in Waze and ABRP apps in the vehicles software, they are separate apps that you need to download from the play store in your truck. Those apps work great on my phone and they offer them as apps in the truck, but the versions in the truck do not work. For example both apps you can’t enter destinations while driving, they crash, bugs like your routing disappearing after starting drive etc. The stock Google Maps app works great tho so thats good at least.
