Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ben McIlwain @CydeWeys@urbanists.social (@CydeWeys) reported@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, ...
-
Tshepo Chiloane (@mohlakale) reported@jerry_peep @LimChronicle The problem is not using Waze. The problem is reckless driving
-
Salvador Chavarria (@schavarriaTexas) reported@htsfhickey Fred - real life example…google maps is actually now really bad at optimizing routes. Really bad…switched to waze which is also owned by google as you know but still seems to be working fine
-
N (@Celatus3) reported@SecDuffy I’m so infuriated with congestion pricing! It feels so violating between Waze sending you through zone when you can easily avoid it to feeling completely exploited! It’s not even worth working after having to pay all this. And I’m not taking train after incident I had!
-
OKWUDILI 🇳🇬🏴 (@philip_Bawer) reported@AsidanyaMiracle Stop using Google map, it will take you straight into problem rather use Waze. It will find all the nearest and hassle free route for you.
-
Peter Miles (@ginjajedi) reported@DanielCars05 Anybody had any issues getting sound from waze when using one of these?
-
NOMERCY (@NOMERCY4UTODAY) reported@HumanityChad If this was NY, they would have put two orange cones around it all summer, then decide to fix on Monday at 8am so Waze can reroute you because the street is now closed because of road work.
-
Your Last 5 Merchant!!!! (@draggingortrump) reported@MusingsofAwe What can I use as an alternative to Google Maps? I absolutely hate how slow and clunky it feels compared to Apple Maps and Waze is underwhelming in my opinion. I've been using Google Wallet for a month now and love it.
-
zeerusli (@zeerusli) reported@waze It's already updated the last version. So many experienced the same. When will you fix this.
-
Slinger Auto Zone LLC (@SlingerAuto) reported@saswat101 @waze Imagine this: instead of just a "pothole ahead" alert, the app provides exact GPS coordinates and dimensional photos so crews know exactly what they’re dealing with before they even arrive. Even better? It can use traffic data to pinpoint the absolute best time to fix them—when traffic is at its lowest—to minimize the headache for everyone. This is the kind of data-driven city tech we need.

Bobby Boulders (@ItsBig_Earl) reported@Proctor4Gov @Maggie725496820 Slowed down in speed for 0.6 seconds but didn’t record any collisions? If she hit John on the road moving in the opposite direction of the flagpole…how ******** did he end up over by the flagpole? If Higgins jeep was parked at the mailbox how come she didn’t crash right into it? You see how other details matter when you’re trying to claim this ridiculous collision? If the TL collided with his arm how’s he get the cut on the eyelid and nose and such bruised knuckles but zero bruising on the arm where he was supposedly hit? The marks on the arm (32) caused by only 9 little holes…no tearing, no leftover pieces in the sleeve…again, **** your janky Waze correlation and address the injuries.

Orvill Samanta (@orvilldesign) reportedWhy 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.

KEASEA07 (@keasea07) reportedThe biggest problem with CarPlay is enabling it to synchronize with Tesla FSD. If you input a destination in FSD using Tesla’s native navigation system, it isn’t going to match what you see in Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps. Integration is a lot more complicated than it seems.
-
HITMONREZ (@REZGOTBARS) reported@deefinewhine Don’t use Waze. The problem you complaining about not gonna change because we drive fast in every lane but the left which causes accidents every morning. In reality most people drive like *******, if we just remove the speed limit like the south it will be better.

JasperReikevik (@jaspertube_) reported@GeminiApp @Google We use Waze and we don't use Maps but Waze has problems connecting to Gemini so this is another missing spot

Zlatan Gomez (@zan_diva) reportedCan I vent ??? As a person from the townships who moved to the suburbs.. I'm struggling with Police visibility.. my brain associates cops with trouble.. I'd only see cops when they are WORKING.. here they just around, nje.. Just parked nje. Waze shows 9 cops.. nje just present

AI_4_Healthcare (@AI_4_Healthcare) reported𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱-𝑨𝑰-𝑴 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒋-𝑨𝑰-𝒓. 𝑾𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝑰 𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔; 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 Big Tech is dropping billions like it's nothing. AI models are accelerating weekly ... from LLMs to AI agents to full orchestras of them running directly on our phones and desktops. Chatbots everywhere. Humanoids on the horizon. The world feels like it's spinning faster than anyone can track. Drones are no longer science fiction; they're reshaping warfare in real time, from Ukraine to the Gulf, amplifying chaos as conflicts escalate with tools we barely understand yet feel powerless to slow. Societal distrust is deepening. People fear massive job losses, bleak prospects for new graduates, and mounting risks around privacy and safety. Many believe governments are hopelessly behind and regulators simply cannot move at the speed of the technology they're supposed to govern. On this, they're not wrong. But here's the truth: AI is already everywhere ... we spread it around, ourselves. Every tap and swipe has been training it for years. Auto-correct, Grammarly, Amazon purchases, tap-to-pay, social feeds, Waze, Netflix — the list is longer than most of us care to admit. We've flooded social media with graduation photos, videos of family vacays, and parents' obituaries; freely, eagerly, in real time. We recycled passwords across hundreds of accounts and clicked "agree" without reading a word. Identity theft and privacy violations? We continue to feed this machine through digital non-hygiene akin to the plague. It's already a buffet for AI-enabled fraudsters that we've served up. Corporations built platforms we loved: convenient, free, endlessly scrolling, and we accepted the trade-off with eyes at least half open. The business model was never hidden. We just chose not to think too hard about it. We spread the J-AI-M ourselves, every tap and swipe, 7-24-365 for years. The workforce consequences are no longer hypothetical. Copywriters, paralegals, customer service agents, and new grads are feeling the ground shift. The economic upside of AI is real, but it's flowing overwhelmingly to shareholders, not displaced workers. We need retraining pipelines, and we needed them yesterday. The promise is equally real! AI is transforming healthcare, will accelerate clean energy, 10X our climate change fight, and take us to other planets. The j-AI-r is open; what's inside is not all bad. There is more real hope than ridiculous hype. Do we push for algorithmic transparency laws? Demand digital literacy in schools and workplaces, not just how to use AI, but how to think critically about it? Support liability frameworks that hold developers accountable for measurable harm? Insist that workforce transition funding be tied to the companies generating billions from automation? Yes, no, what else? We made this J-AI-M. We spread it everywhere. We must be honest enough about our own roles to navigate what comes next ... wisely. 🤔 Of interest @lexfridman @garymarcus @LuizaJarovsky?

Coach Schwag (@schwag27) reportedAnyone having problems with @waze lately? I keep having it stop my route, especially if I take a different term than what is specified. It’s not auto updating to a new route. It just stops tracking where I’m going.

uMARAZOR (@zizithebadgal) reporteduMpilo waze wavelelwa… how is she responsible of fixing her parents marriage??? Putting that responsibility on a child to fix problems he caused?? K’qala wathi makazale manje uthi makalungise izinto zabantu abadala?? Oh he hates uMpilo!! #UthandoNesithembu #Uthandonesthembu

The Future is Autonomous (@SuperMajority18) reported@beyoncegarden I just dealt with a complete ******* Mass State Trooper working a detail at Logan Airport Departures Terminal E last night around 6 PM. I pulled up to drop off my fiancée, hopped out to grab her luggage, and was back in the car in under 30 seconds. Her phone was still connected, so I quickly switched it to mine to connect my Waze for the drive home. Total time parked curbside in the drop-off zone: less than 60 seconds. I wasn’t blocking anyone. This unhinged prick immediately starts waving me off, then yells “NOW! Get off your PHONE!” while aggressively marching toward my car. I nearly missed my exit home because of his bullshit. For no reason whatsoever, this douchebag escalated a perfectly normal drop-off into a hostile confrontation. This is exactly why law-abiding citizens despise cops and call them pigs. Zero justification, pure power-tripping aggression. Just another completely unnecessary, ****** interaction with police.
-
Jason Wallace (@TragedyCalls) reported@nursedanakay Surely it cannot be beyond the wit of man to map where they are. Certainly telematics should be telling the car something's not right in the same place every day. I have a similar issue on my route and @waze. 9 speed humps which variously appear and disappear .
-
Stich (@sticha6) reported@cultra AHAHAHAH!! “Needed Waze to find his ball… Problem is, dude made Schef wait 10+ minutes on 15.
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.
-
A-RGV (@adamergv) reported@SawyerMerritt Also, being able to send addresses from text messages to Waze or Tesla masks is needed There’s also an issue of listening to audio messages from WhatsApp or text that is lacking ease of use. Lastly, integrating Waze with Tesla masks would be the best. Live user feedback into

Louis (@Trolasse) reportedI also have been trying out FSD in Belgium. It is impressive for sure, but still not perfect. Too slow, and the routing is very bad: compared to Waze, it takes wrong roads that add a few minutes of trip time. It sometimes misses exits on the highway, etc. I think it is the future, but I don't think a lot of people would spend 100€/month for it currently (people in Europe have less money!). Maybe just take it during the holidays to make big trips, or if you are a senior (it drives better than my grandpa for sure).

⭐️STARGUY (@starguy_1) reported@RippleXrpie Why my speed cemeta alert in Waze not working

Bundle (@jhbundle) reported@waze fix up
-
Snedley Grassbuckets (@sned) reported@wholemars Fix the bloody navigation. Use a reliable mapping service with local editors who fix problems quickly -- aka Waze.
