Chris Grose 🦒 (@ChrisGrose2) reported@Captain_Deltic I use Waze when out in the car, whilst users can report issues I think Waze also monitors your route so if you get held up it automatically reroutes those it was planning to send the way you are going. The Southern email offer alternative routes but usually says none available

551CARS (@551CARS) reportedThank you @Waze !! The crash at 120th and Davenport. There was no other info out about that.

GuardianOfLight🕯 (@SihleMlotsh) reported@G1_3 Kodwa Gugulethu, mkhaya wami. Waze wangiphoxa yazi 😭😭 Owalaphi naseMaritzburg. Kodwa njenge ithawine lethu iPMB liwa futhi iphuphe kanjena uzovotelani? I mean the ANC is not working out. MKP has failed after most people voted for an old man with no new ideas. So what's next

DavidLV (@DavidM_LV) reported@LVMPD Want to slow people down? Download waze and just report yourselves as you drive around.

'sTrewth (@strewth15) reported@AttorneyCrump Waze (free app) logs camera locations reported by customers. Might be worth using it to locate patterns. Seems legit to wonder why they are deployed where they are, but if it’s because that’s where the crime is, is that still an equity problem?
-
Ian McGinley (@parawolf) reported@JackTheAss_ @TrungTPhan Just where I am in Australia the high traffic or incident data or other issues just don’t reflect in the app like they do for google maps or waze. Just doesn’t have quality penetration here I feel.
-
Rachel (@DataDecoder11) reported@WKVN_4 @ourx_vault Agree: Apple Health stairs aren’t GPS. Separate issue. I’m talking about location data sourcing. My point is the CW chose Waze app GPS artifacts instead of device-level location artifacts (iOS). Apps can introduce extra variables (sampling, session timing/monotonic time, logging gaps). Why add that layer? Unless there was a specific reason.
-
Kamil P Malec (@MaleckiKamil) reported@james_xond I’ve started having the Waze app always on my CarPlay open when I drive. It shows the exact speed limit live, and can even beep you when you go 5 over. So no I don’t slow down.

Ryder - Control Without Complexity (@RyderWallet1) reported@waze @BurgerKing Whoever you hired for your account is working very hard
-
Atbat (@Atbat72) reported@Google Why don’t you fix the expected driving time? Waze is killing maps in accuracy. Had to stop using maps.
-
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.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@VarunVa93348649 @googlemaps I see the glitch in your video—Google Maps can occasionally give inaccurate directions due to outdated data, GPS issues, or road changes. Report it in the app to help them update. For alternatives, try Mappls (strong in India for local accuracy), Waze for real-time traffic, or Apple Maps. What location was this?

John_Hawkins (@JohnHawkin71262) reported@RichardWellings Get Waze like me and just slow down for the cameras and police radars. Never any points. 👍

Rachel (@DataDecoder11) reported@commcenterpod @fourensicroom @TuesdayGazette To start, Waze shows a 3-minute-1-second artifact. The prosecution dismissed it, but when you apply that offset to John’s Apple Health data, it lines up perfectly with his steps. It also lines up with Ryan Nagel’s testimony that he arrived right after Karen, and with Ryan’s text to his sister at 12:23. That’s three independent data points placing John there before 12:24. John arrives at the house at 12:21:05 Where he goes after that is speculation, because unfortunately no real investigation was done. My theory is that he walked up to the house and a fight broke out. Brian Albert has been in many fights, but this time it went too far. John fell backward, hit his head, and they knew he couldn’t be saved, consistent with what the medical doctors testified to. After arriving, John’s last recorded movements are at 12:24:22. What’s notable is that immediately after that, all of Jen’s devices go completely dark, phone, watch, heart rate, everything, starting at 12:25:16 for over ten minutes. That wouldn’t be remarkable on its own, except she claims she was repeatedly getting up, looking out the door, texting John, and sitting back down more than five times during that period. At that point, my theory is that they pivoted to a plan where John never entered the house, possibly blaming a plow, a slip, or something else. That plan only fell apart when Karen went looking for him. The phone data is critical here. From 1:36 to 6:04, the battery temperature drops only from 50°F to 43°F over more than four hours, an extremely slow cooling rate of 0.026°F/min. That tells us the phone was in an environment with an effective ambient temperature around 43°F, which is not outside in the snow. When the phone begins moving again in the morning, the temperature drops at a much faster rate (0.75°F/min) consistent with actual outdoor exposure. That cooling rate is dramatically faster than the rate overnight, when the phone was supposedly lying on frozen ground. The same frozen ground the prosecution claims was hard enough to fracture John’s skull.

Colette Lala (@ColetteLala) reportedThis Verizon outage is a pain in my 🍑. I had no idea b/c I was in the car but Waze was trying to send me all over the world using offline maps. If you use Waze & have Verizon, plot your route while you have wireless before you leave b/c it may take you some weird places.

Matty (@mattboy1i) reported@sundarpichai android auto needs to work on Gemini to work with Waze it's really broken. Have someone DM for information.
-
Salina Mendoza (@inababi) reported@waze Friends, no one on here is ever going to do that. If you care, you’ll fix it! Quite easy to find my account.
-
Joel Muthama (@muthamajoelKE) reported@kelvinotieno10 @the_sambu Of anything is made by man,it can be broken by a man. The builders of waze reverse-engineered the system
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reported@andrew_r The map box issue isn’t the primary reason, it’s the Waze API getting shut down
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reported@chutneylife I find the FSD drives better than I do, but that the navigation system sometimes fails. The car takes the wrong turn or gets lost. That is confusing, since Waze and others solved the navigation issue years ago.
-
Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported@HermanBovens @Teslarati Tesla uses Google Maps which uses Waze community edits on it. Tesla throwing out google maps probably isn't in the cards. Maybe using Tesla's own hyper accurate maps as overlays to Google, and maybe FSD could contribute road closures etc. (and use them from Waze to fix some stuff I've recently scene!)
-
Svile (@Sviless) reported@googlemaps I have seen an issue where Google maps ends a trip 3-4 blocks before the destination, even when the map us updated and accurately showing my location, this happens to more people, since I have seen this in your forums and not solved. This doesn't happen on Waze. Is it solved for this update?
-
Synth Spaceship (@synthspaceship) reported@sama @sama You know, the problem with Waze was that even though it routed you through different backstreets, you ultimately didn't get to the destination much faster than good old Google or Apple Maps. It was the distraction of taking a bunch of random backstreets that created the illusion of movement/progress. Sometimes you just need to get on the main road and get to work.
-
Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported@7hashtag7 iPhone running Waze, Bluetooth speaker, only issue is if you get hit by an SUV, you’d be dead.
-
Trevor Knight (@undercoveraggie) reportedI thought my Waze app was broken after repeating “pothole reported ahead” every 5 seconds. Then I just realized I’m driving through Tennessee.
-
GP (@GPhillips10) reportedIf I had £1 for everytime Waze mentioned "pothole reported ahead" I'd have enough money to FIX ALL THE BLOODY POTHOLES! 😡😡😡
-
JimStrohmeier (@USAF_Veteran57) reportedI think the Gas Buddy app is just another BS data collection app, like the WAZE app. Waze shows user reports of radar cops on the road. Too many times, the cop is not even there - which means busybodies who want drivers to slow down are corrupting the reports.

Hugh (@pinch_weasel) reported@waze I briefly explored but found no working bathrooms 🤪
