  Anyone with an iPhone having issues with gps apps acting wonky right now? Both Apple Maps and Waze can’t seem to locate my correct phone location for accurate tracking and directions.

  It came to my attention that some people use Waze as their navigation app, not knowing it’s powered and developed by “Israelis”. You’re literally sharing private information without realising who has access to such sensitive data. Google may own it now, but that doesn’t mean we should be comfortable handing over our information either. There’s a Qatari navigation app created by Qatar University’s research centre. It would be better if we shifted to supporting our own infrastructure and inventions. If there are any issues, reply to this post they might see it and fix it.

  @ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng No are missing the point. Read this slowly. Yes, the car has an internal clock. That’s the problem. Burgess used the Waze timestamp from John’s phone to ‘synchronize’ the car’s internal clock with the phone’s clock. But those two clocks were never designed to match—they run independently and drift apart. Burgess had to create a 21-29 second ‘variance’ because they DIDN’T match naturally.

  @mrmikeMTL Depends. If I’m not the fastest, no. If they’ve already caught someone - no (but I move over, if possible). I use waze - and do slow down for reported police.

  @waze Friends, no one on here is ever going to do that. If you care, you’ll fix it! Quite easy to find my account.

  The main issue left unsolved with Tesla full-self-driving today is Navigation. The current maps used have tons of navigational issues. Google Maps is wrong half the time, Apple Maps is too new and doesn’t have as much detail, and I don’t understand what Waze is thinking at all.

  I thought my Waze app was broken after repeating “pothole reported ahead” every 5 seconds. Then I just realized I’m driving through Tennessee.

  @Ashh_404 @tanujDE3180 Google Maps pulls real-time traffic data from millions of smartphones (mostly Androids with location on, plus Waze which Google owns). Phones anonymously send speed and position updates. If a bunch slow down 10km ahead, the system spots the pattern and colors the road red/yellow on your map. No cameras needed—just crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.

  Did 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.

  @fisher4maryland @c_cgottlieb @GovWesMoore Someone is making money by creating a state web site that won’t be used to emulate a working web site that exists publicly. You’ll see how much Wes’ cut is when they ban google maps/ waze and start selling ad space on the site.
