  @KetoOrkyy If you feel like you're awake but you're in a numb state, pull over and get some rest immediately. Highway Hypnosis is REAL and will **** you up. Move your head, move your eyes, park in a nice/reputable town somewhere during daytime and take a little 15 minute walk. If you don't need to be at a place at a specific amount of time, take it slow. NEVER go more than 10 (15 is okay if there's a backlog of people behind you) over when you're on the 10. Drink fluids, don't do too many energy based drinks. They'll give you a good boost but then you'll crash. NO DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS IN A DAY; also limit the amount of time you're driving if you've been up for 12 hours beforehand. Bit of an iffy one, but I never pick up hitch-hikers unless they look like they're on the brink of heat-stroke. Use Waze or Google Maps to know where police are, or if there's an accident ahead, etc. Bring items that you can use to repair your vehicle, duct tape, fix-a-flat, along with what Alexander Dross said in the replies. i think thats all i can think of rn

  @waze we have traveled 400 miles so far today (TN and VA) and had not one notification or evidence of nearby Waze users. Your app on both cell phones in our vehicle had same issues.

  @maggiemoda @HydrogenAtom137 It’s the same issue. The data centers ARE FOR the surveillance grid. All the Flock cameras, and cameras in your car, TV, phone and laptop, every message, conversation, chat, email, browser search, picture, Alexa prompt, your Waze routes, frequented spots, your voice, biometrics…

  @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

  @NYSDOTHV Any update on when this will reopen? Also, are you going to fix the signs stating that it's closed? And maybe alert @waze that it's still closed? They routed me there the other day and wah wah, still closed. Thanks.

  @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.

  @paxangloceltae I gave up using waze because it didn’t like the patchy signal and Googlemaps seemed more resilient . I wonder if they ever fixed that issue

  @Baloney_and @THPLawrencebur Waze could also identify those flocks and we’d just slow down b4 it

  I ABSOLUTELY hate when I put @waze on sleep mode and it comes back on on its own. I don’t want to drive through familiar areas with Waze running in the background. The app shouldn’t run unless I turn it on. Fix it because I’m close to deleting it!!!

  @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.

  The @waze app has become a PAIN in my *** over these past few months. At first I thought it may have been a CarPlay issue or due to my data, but it’s not! It doesn’t update in a timely fashion like it used to and I end up having to bust a u turn because I’ve gone the wrong way

  @TheLaluka @waze @gouvernementFR I suspect if you were asking in the US they'd want nothing to do with it for liability reasons, no idea if there would be similar issues in France

  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.

  Launched a little experiment @maptoearn. User reports at Waze were always a scaling problem. Trying to fix it with incentives this time. x $M2E per report. No expectations, just a side project.

  @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

  @NotATeslaApp Waze is also a Google based company, is that correct? So how would integrating another Google map platform fix an already problematic Google map platform?

• 
  Guy Lessard (@Guy_Lessard) reported 43 minutes ago

  @therealDeFlock Has anyone made an app that tracks them or maybe puts them into the Waze app since police sightings, accidents, and even pot holes are crowd sourced. Like reporting it as a broken traffic light. Make that a code for a flock camera on Waze.

  🚨 99% of local SEO advice is noise, and most people focus on the wrong things. Agencies sell you on content calendars, blog posts, backlink packages, and social media management. None of it moves the needle for a local business. Here's what actually does: 1. Google Business Profile This is where local search is won or lost. When someone searches "plumber near me" or "dentist near me," they are not going to your website first. They are looking at the Maps pack — and the Maps pack is powered entirely by your GBP. The businesses that rank there have: → Every service listed as a category → Professional photos (updated regularly) → 100+ reviews with a 4.7 or higher rating → Posts going up weekly → NAP (name, address, phone number) data that matches everywhere on the web Most local businesses have a half-filled profile from 2019 and wonder why they can't rank. 2. Website structure Not blogs. Not word count. Structure. Google needs to understand what you do, where you do it, and who you serve. That means: → A dedicated page for each service (not one "Services" page that lists everything) → City and neighborhood signals embedded in the right places → Fast load times and mobile-first design → Schema markup so search engines can read your data correctly Your website is not a brochure. It's a signal to Google that your business is exactly what someone in your area is searching for. 3. Citations Citations are every place your business name, address, and phone number appear online — Google, Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, Alexa, Waze, Yelp, Facebook, and 40+ other directories. When those listings are consistent and accurate, Google trusts you more. When they're inconsistent or missing, your rankings suffer — and customers can't find you on voice assistants, GPS, or AI search. Most local businesses have never touched their citations. Half of them have wrong information sitting on directories they don't even know exist. That's the entire playbook. GBP → you show up. Website structure → Google understands you. Citations → Google trusts you. Everything else local agencies sell you is secondary to getting these three right. Fix the fundamentals. The rankings follow. Don't overcomplicate it.

  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.

  MB (@paxangloceltae) reported 53 minutes ago

  @TomWright165389 Waze died on us within about 20 mins of leaving the M25 for the M1. Google Maps also screwed. Apple Maps remarkably seems to be working even on 1 bar of 5G - and even when the phones go onto SOS or satellite mode. Still, ridiculous that reception is so poor.

  Weave (@diaper) reported 57 minutes ago

  @ChuckCook It's aggravating to me because it's obvious mapmate or whatever mapping program they use has such bad speed limit data in it, and the car acts on that. Why couldn't they just use Waze for speed limits? If there's a problem with a speed limit in Waze, just hit the report button and a local editor fixes it within a day or so. Source: I've been a local Waze editor for 12 years.

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