  • alyssangelgreen Alyssa Green (@alyssangelgreen) reported

    @OverlyLiked Ugh. Does anyone else constantly have problems with google maps? It’s always taking us either a weird like round about way, or to a dead end. Waze doesn’t update fast enough when you have an immediate turn after another. And Apple Maps? Ugh.

  • Exactly7Pandas al dimond (@Exactly7Pandas) reported

    @DrTaraGoddard 2. cars whose excessive size and power multiply the danger of human error 3. apps like waze, the flip side of autopilot, that "engage" drivers actively while they're driving 4. apps like google maps, the default directions app for many, imitating some of waze's worst features ...

  • KieranRawley Kieran Rawley (@KieranRawley) reported

    @aliciadolata @waze Report from where you’re meant to be with the what3words location and an editor will add a place marker or house number for you. That’ll fix it

  • panzer Matthew Panzarino (@panzer) reported

    Note too the careful wording. This is not 'police ahead' like Waze does and cops have a ton of issues with because it alerts to checkpoints for impaired driving. Could have the same effect but the semantics are super carefully chosen.

  • MoyoMojo Top Rankin (@MoyoMojo) reported

    @Shidi_T Apple Maps and waze bro. There’s a constant latency issue with google maps

  • Maggiebella maggie 🧐 (@Maggiebella) reported

    @BostonMassMark Yes. The cars/trucks have become monstrous again. The phones are a problem, especially since exit renumbering here has made us all use Waze instead of our car gps so we’re looking at our phones for that (along with using them if not Bluetooth).

  • NdoniVisuals She is King🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@NdoniVisuals) reported

    @GXIImalux12 @simphiwedana @gearge the thelfth, Waze wakhuluma udoti bafo ekuseni nakangaki, what they are doing ngo Simphiwe is total rubbish and they are diluting issues here. Just because she spoke about that ugly selfish man . Sekumele manje atatazele and not talk about GBV👀

  • votemikejones Mike Jones (@votemikejones) reported

    @davidglover @cassidenaep Either of y’all familiar with Waze? It’s a quasi-solution to this problem.

  • CrewzTom Tom Crewz (@CrewzTom) reported

    @waze broken today? Or not suggested to use in Queens, NY?

  • subs5waze Alan Boyd (@subs5waze) reported

    @aliciadolata @waze Do they have avoid Freeways selected? If they have EZPassFlex in the car and selected in the settings you get routed down the Express Lanes toll free in Waze. Not sure why they aren’t on 395. I always get routed on it. If they tell you particulars let me know I can fix

  • gregsandiego Greg Scott (@gregsandiego) reported

    @OverlyLiked Can't tell you how many times I panicked on a business trip because suddenly Waze stopped working.I think it said "No GPS".

  • ChadAU79 Chad Williams (@ChadAU79) reported

    @McDonalds Can we make an ice cream machine outage map? Like Waze maps where it’s interactive. That way when someone finds a machine that works they can let the world know.

  • Iyaya6 Iyaya (@Iyaya6) reported

    @Mbuso__Mthembu Perhaps we should find out what eventually happened to the girl who bit the other waze wamkhululi' *****. Problem is, society is too quick to forget

  • ShyamalaChandr2 S. chandran (@ShyamalaChandr2) reported

    @AUThackeray The problem is three parties kichdi - Rahul / SONIA Congress Zero knowledge / idea. - NCP head under treatment/hospital after Waze / Deshmukh episode, Aditya / CM cannot take decision without permission from NCP head. TOTAL CONFUSION. Public are suffering 😞😞

  • fightingsleeps thundaza (@fightingsleeps) reported

    @bilalternative Nah Waze made me crash my car in some bush. I deleted it

  • woah__kenny kenna (@woah__kenny) reported

    waze needs to chill with the speed limit reminders and slow down notifications. your purpose is to warn me of cops not act like one

  • nyamaltear BeniyaBaba (@nyamaltear) reported

    I think my waze is broken

  • TheDaintyGirl J.Lee (@TheDaintyGirl) reported

    What’s funny is I had the urge to slow down half a mile before I spotted him. He definitely wasn’t on the Waze radar.

  • blaircook Blair Cook (@blaircook) reported

    @panzer So ready to run away from Waze. It has gotten horrifically slow and bloated.

  • REALSgtBrdStk Kieran (@REALSgtBrdStk) reported

    Waze used to be so great on iOS but recently its just been terrible, keeps breaking car audio, going to a blank screen on CarPlay, and taking us on the stupidest and unnecessary detours. I absolutely loved Waze but man it’s just unusable. Please fix this @waze...

  • thisfloridalife This Florida Life (@thisfloridalife) reported

    @TheCraigEvans @Jodicab22 Never had an issue, but I do think Waze does better with rerouting early when there is an incident.

  • _boxofrain HI 🌼 🐢 Bill Mickey (@_boxofrain) reported

    1 miles on the Waze app like I was trying to change my GPS because the other ones give me problems easy s*** in the world and the Waze app said sign up later had the option I'm at the wheel GrubHub coming from Del Taco

  • stereoswimmer Andy Bronson (@stereoswimmer) reported

    @waze I'm having an issue with Apple CarPlay again where I can only now adjust guidance volume. Running iOS 14.4.2. Any news about a fix?

  • mruff1975 mruff1975 (@mruff1975) reported

    @IrfanDhalla I wonder if my Waze app will direct me around the check points. That would solve the problem

  • JLB7231 Darnell Brown (@JLB7231) reported

    @aliciadolata @waze So get a car and drive... problem solved

  • FandomStylinson Kim ⁷ (@FandomStylinson) reported

    @OverlyLiked Today gave me an example that Apple Maps is superior, I was traveling with my mom and she tried both google and Waze and both gave her issues and my Apple Maps was great. I’ve never had issues with Apple Maps.

  • ibrahimh1975 Ibrahim Hussain (@ibrahimh1975) reported

    @BikeBarnaby @MaggieBMedia No my use of waze is not a problem, not that I need it, my problem is that roads are being closed for the elite and pollution is being pushed onto the poor. But you still will say how that's fair on the poor, so far you've ducked it twice by changing the subject

  • rudhruletap VideshiWithDesiHeart (@rudhruletap) reported

    @vijai63 They need to make up of the loss, after Waze exposed the whole broken looteri system. And madam is out trying to save the face

  • Kimbly73 Kim-agining justice 🌊 (@Kimbly73) reported

    @patriottakes 1) Dr? Really, with that grammar? 2) What is their problem with Waze? It's a fine app 3) There really should be some basic requirements for serving in government, and I think we should start with not letting people that make death threats serve in government!

  • dylanhead94 Sanghi Dylan (@dylanhead94) reported

    @DriftvsIllusion @freemarketbihar @Me_Predictor Yes. But we have a problem in these two,I live in maharashtra. There is no argument in the world that can convince me maharashtra did not drop the ball. They were busy managing the waze scandal while the second wave gathered steam in feb-march.
