  @QueenAnticommie Waze is great but runs my battery down really fast. Charger wasn’t working once and couldn’t keep using it.

  How my car crash happened At around 5:10 I was driving in Jackson on East Veterans Highway and I missed a left turn into Bowman Road, instead of doing the right thing I decided to make a “k turn” (the road wasn’t wide enough for a “u turn” since it was just 2 lanes, 1 each side) So I looked both ways, there wasn’t a car in the incoming lane for a while so I was safe there, there was a pickup truck behind me by quite a distance and against my better judgment I decided to make that “k turn” Anyways as I’m in middle of doing it and I’m in the OTHER lane I suddenly realize that the pick up drunk that was behind me is now trying to cut me off and was speeding at a much higher speed on the OTHER lane Before I knew what was going on he (I assume it was a man) went straight into me and I rolled over at least once and was then held upside down by my seatbelt Anyways I then hear a voice (I think from Waze) “were you in an accident?”, I said “yes”, “would you like to call emergency services?” And apparently they dialed 911 from my phone

  @elormkdaniel Because your phone is basically a tiny traffic sensor. Google Maps doesn’t “see” traffic, it measures behavior. Thousands of phones on the same road continuously send anonymized GPS location and speed data. The system groups these signals by road segments and compares current speeds with historical patterns. When vehicles suddenly slow down, like from 60 km/h to 10 km/h, it flags congestion and turns the road red in real time. Then comes Waze. After Google acquired it, the real power was in combining data, not merging apps. Waze users actively report accidents, police, closures, and hazards, and that information flows directly into Google Maps. In return, Google’s massive data improves Waze’s routing and traffic predictions. So even if you never open Google Maps, your phone can still be contributing to traffic detection. You’re not just using the map. You are the map.

  Wow you’re slow. It’s based on Spiderman sightings. People input it like reporting a road block or car on the side of the road on Waze.

  @HenMazzig Btw, I don’t have Waze, but I heard they issue police presence alerts before I even had a smartphone.

  @MagaSgt @waze What’s the issue? No doubt you know the route to McDonalds.

  Waze was already based in Israel. Please stop the fake outrage every time yall discover a new piece of information. You move over to google or apple and you still gone have the same problem.

  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.

  Before working with us, Ahmadinejad kept insisting that there are no gays in Israel. I told him it's pronounced "Waze," and we invented it.

  @baba_Omoloro Someone has to first tell Waze that a car is broken down before Waze tells others though. It's not instant.

  Hey @googlemaps stop breaking my Bluetooth music playing when you announce! iPhone 15 Pro Max has no issues with Apple Maps or even Waze! It’s only you! Ask the Waze team how they did it.

  @yvonneridley @sainsburys Just asking have you disposed of your mobile or computer - hope you haven’t got a health problems check where the medicines come from - don’t fly anywhere just in case the navigation unit is provided by Israel - don’t use Waze same reason - Google Meta Intel Microsoft and Apple!!

  @EyrahClyne @XavierNaxa I use it a lot. Due to navigation is easy to understand. But a lot of bugs still need to be reported and fix, need more users to use and reports. Even GMap or Waze still has bugs with large user base. Sometimes Apple Maps has newer update that them

  @JackLinFLL Just to check if it was working I used @waze to remind me if my attaché case was in the back seat.
