    @SDembraski Would love if it pulled into MY driveway, not my neighbor's. Parking is a real issue — we need handicap placard support for spot selection. Navigation also needs work: FSD constantly takes scenic routes out of parking lots and even my cul-de-sac (starts a right turn, then yanks left to loop around the block). Surprisingly, Google Maps and Waze have the same problem.

    @ardeiusmaleus @catgirlprostate np! if you want to see how they mapped it you can go to the Waze Map Editor, login, and if you go near a part of the map not part of your current environment it will prompt you to switch. eventually I think they will merge everything but idk

    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.

    @PhasedGravField @mikepat711 It's a big revenue earner here, along with excessive speed on hwy 500, where FSD has no probable going 15 or more over in Standard, Hurry, or Mad Max. The cops absolutely camp almost every morning along hwy 500 in se eral hidden locations in an area where traffic regularly goes ten to fifteen over and just rack up car after car. I have Waze running, so know when they are setup in those hidden spots, and make sure to drop to chill at least a mile before I get to that area when they are there to give FSD time to slow down, since it is often a sluggard about slowing down to new speeds when you change profiles. It will do it, but not always quickly.

    If there is a huge traffic jam and WAZE shows me a different route that can save me time is Waze ignoring my issue and telling me to shut up or is it offering a temporary solution to my immediate problem?

    @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, ...

    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.

    @ArmitageX @waze I was the same way at first, but the hardware is actually solid. @GrapheneOS is working with Motorola to create a non-Google phone with the same hardware hardening they require, but that's still a ways out.

    @Suzybeau1 @WBergeson11310 @BostonDefender I'm saying you can't compare Life360 with Waze because Waze has better service, just like Verizon and AT&T have better service than U.S. Cellular and don't have the dropped-call problems and don't have the infrastructure the major networks have.

    @ClimateWarrior7 I just drive at normal speeds and slow down for the cameras. Use Waze and even alerts you to police mobile cameras. Never any points.

    fluxity (@tjosephfluxity) reported

    @KSTP People will just use Waze and slow down, more tax money wasted. Common nature of people has to be considered for this crap before it's put up. Washington DC had a ton of them and everyone just mapped them - dumb.

    @Cappo1Capponi @Biffdon That’s what I never could get with on Waze. How can I document these things like cars broken down, police etc when I am driving.

    @PatsKam Both of the mapping software that most people use Apple or Google maps even Waze, which is now Google anyways use the data from the phones so if a bunch of phones are sitting over a GPS location of a highway they’ll put that red as in stop traffic if it’s slow slowly moving from point a to point B they’ll color yellow and if it’s flowing, they’ll color it the green or blue whatever you have set It’s all based upon your phone data location And everyone else’s phone data location on the roadways

    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

    Dear @waze I love your maps! However, since you added the animation at app launch, my app locks up and I can’t put in my desired address. It works about 50% of the time. Please fix it. In the meantime I’ll be using @Apple maps.

    1. Waze the speed trap app that saves you $200+ in tickets per year. The 2026 CarPlay interface for Waze is cleaner than ever, offering crowd-sourced data on speed traps, potholes, and traffic jams without cluttering your digital real estate. Waze is the one CarPlay app every driver should install regardless of whether they use it for navigation. Waze is the go-to CarPlay app for drivers who regularly deal with heavy traffic. Its community-sourced reporting system alerts you to accidents, road hazards, speed traps, and police presence in real time, often before other apps catch up. Real-time alerts from other Waze drivers: police ahead. Speed trap. Red light camera. Construction. Hazard on the road. Car stopped on the shoulder. Object in the road. You're driving 72 in a 65. A Waze alert pops up: "Police reported ahead." You slow to 65. You pass the speed trap. No ticket. The driver behind you without Waze gets pulled over. One avoided speeding ticket: $150-300. One avoided red light camera ticket: $75-150. Waze is free. The math is obvious. Beyond speed traps: Waze frequently finds faster routes than Apple Maps during heavy traffic because its routing algorithm uses real-time data from millions of active drivers, not just historical traffic patterns. If a highway exit is suddenly backed up because of a fender bender reported 3 minutes ago Waze reroutes you before Apple Maps knows it happened.

    @waze @Lean78 Hi Dani, Sorry that the link you shared has no content to continue/explain/report the issue. Just a couple of known issues with any 'next' or 'continue' button! It is a waste of time. It looks like you need clearer internal procedures to handle this.

    @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

    @AnxiousHolly I stopped doing it awhile back too. Only reason I do it now is if an app IS having an issue. Or Waze… it never wants to let go of GPS signal otherwise.

    @congressdj @Spencer10438140 I was trying to get waze working, so at least it would alert me. I was having issues with waze bluetooth talking over the tesla audio. I could not hear both at the same time. Grok said there was some browser version of tesla waze. Too busy to figure this out so far :)

    @emollick And I'm convinced that Waze does the opposite... Always prefer the slow route through a residential neighbourhood so the users feels like they're taking a "shortcut".

    @Suzybeau1 @Martine05885145 She got within WiFi range at 12:36:39. Waze records very precise GPS data (error radius less than 5m) with accurate timestamps. From the time Waze was activated (12:20) to when then arrived at 34 Fairview (12:24:38) we have incredibly precise time/location data for the SUV
