  @SawyerMerritt I want to be able to see WhatsApp messages, use Waze, reply to group text messages, build a YouTube music queue. And I don’t want Tesla to waste engineering time on a solved problem. There’s bigger fish to fry.

  This 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.

  @Ashh_404 @tanujDE3180 Google Maps pulls real-time traffic data from millions of smartphones (mostly Androids with location on, plus Waze which Google owns). Phones anonymously send speed and position updates. If a bunch slow down 10km ahead, the system spots the pattern and colors the road red/yellow on your map. No cameras needed—just crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.

  The minute I was logging off the office computer, Waze in my phone was alerting me of a crash right at the entrance of my condo. By the time I was sitting in the car, traffic was so bad that it was suggesting wild routes home... in short, almost 45 mins late, I'm here.

  @Liononezero You need a few sure but Most of the work is allocating tasks. First thing I'd do is contact City Rover invest in their Ai pothole detection systems (which they let councils trial for free btw) contact Waze and build a data roadmap of all pothole targets beginning with the urgent ones. Biggest issue here is data. Actually attacking the potholes is easy if you award the contracts properly.

  @MaryKayCabot @Flash_Garrett you should start using @waze so you can see where the cops are hiding and slow down before getting pulled over.

  @NotATeslaApp The map data in my area is so bad. What's frustrating is, it *used* to read the signs and no problem. But now I see the sign rendered on the vis OK but it still won't use it. Wish there was a way to report bad data, like you can with Waze.

  @USSMogger @chefhealthcoach @grok Jews are disproportionately educated, hard-working and innovators. Of course there are a disproportionate number of rich. And Nobel Prize Winners We gave the world Einstein, Waze, DiskOnKey,Pillcam, Drip Irrigation,ICQ, solar heaters… You? Moonshine, bad grammar & antisemitism

  @Smitty9058 @Osint613 Antisemites always have trouble handling the truth. But if you stupidly think Israel is so “evil,” get rid of your phone & computer today, since many of the working components were developed there. Don’t use Waze either. Wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite, would you? #shtikdrek

  @Flighty @ALewin Would be cool if it is like Waze, were we can report ourselves the wait times or slow lines

  @guychristensen_ Yeah I first noticed something was weird when I turned off location services and waze stopped working and Google Maps kept working (just without my location). Why do you need my location to show me a map?

  WAZE is reporting a major crash at 120th and Pacific. I have not heard reference to this at all

  @spaceghost Also, people will very often use waze and other apps to avoid chain control stop points, and/or lie to CHP. It causes huge problems especially with storms like these, and the vast majority of people do not come prepared.

  @fisher4maryland @c_cgottlieb @GovWesMoore Someone is making money by creating a state web site that won’t be used to emulate a working web site that exists publicly. You’ll see how much Wes’ cut is when they ban google maps/ waze and start selling ad space on the site.

  Did you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

  @LVMPD Want to slow people down? Download waze and just report yourselves as you drive around.

  Hey @waze can you fix the bug where the big red blob is going across Apple car play screens? It’s extremely distracting 🙃

  @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

  @waze I spent 20 minutes trying to point out a private, gated entrance via the app today. It is too much trouble. Google Maps updated, but you won't get it from me if I have to use the app. 26808-26810 Haywood Worm Farm Rd 28.737599, -81.888060

  @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.

  @DJxAngel @m_jeniagd There are ZERO 6 lane hwy's in NY. No Cross Island Pkwy 2 lane madness...that's actually fun working your way upstate. It's pass on the right with a turbo, and not following landscape trailers ever..... Don't depend on Apple map or Google Maps.... use WAZE as they will share shortcuts, and point out upcoming jams, wrecks and cops...also plot your trip before you go..

  Alpha Man (@alpha_the_dev) reported 52 minutes ago

  @Polymarket Ask priests to stop using AI to write sermons? That’s cute, but AI isn’t some optional gadget anymore. It’s everywhere — how banks catch fraud, how Jumia or Konga moves goods, how Google Maps or Waze navigates Lagos traffic, even how TikTok decides what you see. Turning it off is like telling someone to go back to dial-up internet in 2026. Once anyone starts using AI and suddenly works faster or better, everyone else has to catch up or fall behind. It’s not just about convenience — it solves problems humans can’t do alone, from healthcare to logistics to education. At this point, AI isn’t a toy for sermons or tweets. It’s part of how the world runs. You can limit reckless use, sure, but asking it to disappear? Impossible.

  Anyone 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.

  So, what app are people using to plan routes these days? Are google maps, waze etc working to take into account blockades?
