    @Dan_Donovan_17 @HoldenMaur50368 I never said Waze had its own GPS satellites. Everyone knows Waze uses the iPhone’s GPS/location services. That was never the issue. What Green was talking about was the timestamps and how different phone artifacts and app data lined up against each other. That is a normal digital forensics issue. Different apps and datasets can have different timing offsets and logging behaviors. That is what he was referring to!

    This is the exact thing I've been saying. These ******* clowns don't speak English, have no idea where they are going and will cross five lanes of traffic last minute to hit an exit because their Waze is slow. I've seen mother ******* backing up on DVP exits. @OPP_HSD

    @constans Israel has prominent Jews working for it, an office in Tel Aviv, has acquired Israeli startups (Waze, Wiz), etc. If these ghouls go looking they can always find a reason to protest any large company over the Omnicause. See also Starbucks, Coca-Cola, ...

    @leahfiles Here's your reply from the AI that just don't lie Speculative Intelligence Analysis: Waze as a Compromise Vector Location Pattern Exploitation**: Waze's continuous GPS pings, route history, speed data, and timestamps create a granular digital shadow of a target's movements—revealing regular visits to sensitive locations (e.g., hotels, clinics, private residences, or protest sites). An intelligence actor with access could cross-reference this against public records, social media, or other surveillance to build "kompromat" dossiers on affairs, medical issues, financial dealings, or undisclosed associations, then use timed leaks or implied exposure to coerce compliance, payments, or information. Real-Time and Predictive Targeting**: Live traffic/ETA data allows dynamic interception or influence operations—knowing exactly when someone is isolated in a vehicle or arriving at a vulnerable spot. Combined with app permissions (microphone/camera in some scenarios, or linked device data), it could enable opportunistic collection of audio/visual compromising material or facilitate "honey-trap" logistics by predicting availability and routes for assets. Historical data also predicts future behavior for pre-positioning. Network and Ecosystem Amplification**: Since Waze feeds into Google's broader data lake (and originated as an Israeli-founded company subject to local laws), aggregated user data can be queried at scale for social graph mapping—identifying who travels together, meets whom, and when. In a full compromise scenario, this integrates with OSINT, hacked devices, or partner-nation sharing to pressure targets via family/financial exposure, or even engineer "accidents"/discrediting events by manipulating perceived travel patterns. Privacy controls are weak once data leaves the device, and legal jurisdiction adds layers for state actors. This remains hypothetical and draws from known app telemetry practices. Actual misuse would require lawful (or illicit) access and is constrained by laws in most jurisdictions; strong operational security (VPNs, app isolation, location spoofing, minimal permissions) mitigates much of it.

    Why is there no Waze for #golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

    @TeslaKing420 A simple fix if Tesla would just bite the bullet and license Waze.

    @Altawesomeee Built this app to solve my own problem: I use multiple navigation apps, but none of their favorites sync together. I got tired of saving the same places over and over across Google Maps, Waze, Yandex, etc.

    @waze You're suggesting that as only some the messages are spoken and others not that its a 'cache' problem????

    @RobH02050318 @WallStreetApes Most self driving vehicles are going to induction charging. Think like the iPhone mag safe chargers. They would just park over the charger. The braking system is regenerative so they don’t need to be replaced as often as normal brakes. The sensors in the vehicle would allow the person at a main hub to see everything related to the vehicle like tire pressure, battery life, etc. GPS like Waze operate in realtime and many partner with the weather to warn of things like high winds and forest fires. Only issues I see are building the infrastructure (which the mass production of cybercabs this year will accelerate) and states adjusting their regulations to better accommodate self driving.

    @waze Wait your quick action to fix this. Most of users experiencing the same. So it should be general issue now. No need to be hassled submiting here and there.

    @ironcanary @TaraBull I went 6s Plus to 13 Pro. Too many important apps stopped working to keep using it. But I still use it for Waze.

    @apple the latest beta up date seems to have some glitches! Uploads are slow ! And Waze has issues too I have to unconnect from the infotainment system to get the screen on it otherwise it stays frozen

    @SnooCompliments You guys seem to put a lot of faith into John’s Waze app and a correlation of time done by a guy who has been pursuing a 4 year degree for 18+ years…What exactly is the issue here? Trust the data right? Except when it implicates the house defendants….then it’s obviously just wrong.

    Thanks to the nationwide T-Mobile outage that just happened, I am now forced to deliver my first child on the side of a highway in Rhode Island. Our Waze app disconnected halfway through the ride to the nearest hospital. Please pray for my wife and I on a safe delivery.

    Ever cried on the road? Well, 01.00am, I am in Abu Dhabi, both Waze & Google Maps are not working. The signage is blacked out. 20 mins of frustration, driving & not knowing where you are going. I just started crying. Wanted to drive back to Dubai but had left something at the hotel. Pulled over to order a taxi to guide me but couldn’t even pin to my location. Na ni highways. Hakuna maduka to ask

    @NevrEnoughX @billykyle @grok Which is why I wish Tesla used Waze maps for navigation. If there's an issue, click report button in app and someone local will be fixing it in a day or so. For example, when Virginia opened up 20 miles of new Express lanes on I-66, the day it opened Waze maps were already updated and routing people on it correctly.

    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
