Glen O. (@buckeyegdo) reported@waze two issues. The mobile camera reporting is out of control. People are reporting Flock cameras when I feel the intent is to report the speed trap cameras. Secondly my icon inexplicably changed and despite changing it in settings, it is not changing on the map screen.

AMPed UP (@DoublepPradhan) reported@bauminater I always have WAZE on while my phone is on the charger. and look at it to see where cops . do the same!! I ensure to slow down before about 3/4 miles prior. Problem solved

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.

Gordon Cassie (@gordon_cassie) reported@ZachAbramowitz It's heavily context dependent. For some use cases, the downside is equivalent to getting lost from Waze. In others, it's more like a car crash.

coco the pailot (@pailot_the_coco) reported@waze if you do not fix apple car … Hello @TomTom
-
GUYER (@reyuglatig6pge) reported@LarryBrockJr Can anyone provide a map of the flock cameras in the Portland metro area? What about Waze? Is this another issue too tied to flock?
-
The Ringer (@Blunty) reported@vad3rt3sla CarPlay is garbage, it’s slow buggy and ugly. I would like Waze support though.
-
matt kalita (@mattkalita) reported@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
-
Dave W (@Sir56ALot) reported@NationalHways @NRManc Then there are the errors; marking overnight closures as 24-hour closures is a particular annoyance. They’re clear to see because Waze routes around them but Google Maps shows green traffic both ways through the “closure”. The data’s useless if it’s not perfect.
-
usoma (@usomaahah) reported@EyrahClyne @XavierNaxa I use it a lot. Due to navigation is easy to understand. But a lot of bugs still need to be reported and fix, need more users to use and reports. Even GMap or Waze still has bugs with large user base. Sometimes Apple Maps has newer update that them

nycwest45th (@westforties) reported@realericmoutsos @leahfiles who is ever going to have a problem with an app like WAZE that you would need to go to their home office?!
-
AmericanPowerUpgrade (@UpgradeAmerican) reported@SDembraski Would love if it pulled into MY driveway, not my neighbor's. Parking is a real issue — we need handicap placard support for spot selection. Navigation also needs work: FSD constantly takes scenic routes out of parking lots and even my cul-de-sac (starts a right turn, then yanks left to loop around the block). Surprisingly, Google Maps and Waze have the same problem.

Jack (@jackcoder0) reported1. 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.

Definitely Not Allen Covert (@Covert61) reportedIf there is a huge traffic jam and WAZE shows me a different route that can save me time is Waze ignoring my issue and telling me to shut up or is it offering a temporary solution to my immediate problem?
-
Lightheart (@IciclePrism) reportedWe’re not going to help these people by bringing in a few hundred thousand of them into our country. There is probably close to a billion of these people. Instead, we need to send people over there to train and educate as many of them as we can in Waze. They could work to fix this problem. They are extremely primitive people. They are inappropriate to be selected to live here in America. ________

MockingbirdShot (@MockingbirdShot) reported@LeinadFre @FPSCANADA_SS_ZZ @koshercockney Just a taste of Israeli technology inventions: Computing and Software: Israel invented the first commercial firewall, ICQ (the first instant messenger), and the Intel 8088 processor that powered the first IBM PCs. Medicine: The PillCam is a pill with a tiny camera you swallow to check for gut issues. Other tools include the ReWalk robotic suit that helps people with leg paralysis walk again. Agriculture: Israel is the home of modern drip irrigation (like Netafim). This system sends water drop-by-drop straight to plant roots to save water in dry climates. Cars and Road Safety: Waze uses data from drivers to map the best routes. Mobileye makes computer vision chips for cars to warn drivers about road hazards. What have you done? Antisemitism, although you certainly didn’t invent that. 🙄

Matsobane ke lebitšo laka fela (@MatsobaneKgomo) reportedWaze has been absolutely useless these days!!! @waze fix your nonsense
-
Lauran™ (@lauranruddy) reported@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.
-
Ty Lue Gambling (@LaceUpMyKickz) reported@waze fix the apple carplay issue please
-
Robert (@berge789) reported@AVGirl4Life 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. If you assimilate to our Waze, we have no problem, but when you want to put your ideals in place, this is a problem. My country is full of capitalist not monarch.
-
Texas 🤘🏽 Boy (@FlyAir4) reportedIf you following me and I slow down I'm helping you, Waze said the cops coming up! Don't get mad at me!
-
Washington State Ferries (@wsferries) reported@SQZA55 @KIRO7Seattle Not when the boarding pass is activated. We have been working with GPS apps, but so far only Waze has changed their routing.
-
Tshepo Chiloane (@mohlakale) reported@jerry_peep @LimChronicle The problem is not using Waze. The problem is reckless driving
-
Wayne Kennedy (@lilwaynekennedy) reported@401_da_sarpanch This is the exact thing I've been saying. These ******* clowns don't speak English, have no idea where they are going and will cross five lanes of traffic last minute to hit an exit because their Waze is slow. I've seen mother ******* backing up on DVP exits. @OPP_HSD

Sokhulu (@mla4zo) reported@Malome_ZA 400+ parties and your problem is just 1 lol ... waze waphupha mfhana wami

crazy people out there (@ron_doingstuff) reported@congressdj @Spencer10438140 I was trying to get waze working, so at least it would alert me. I was having issues with waze bluetooth talking over the tesla audio. I could not hear both at the same time. Grok said there was some browser version of tesla waze. Too busy to figure this out so far :)

Ray, Babysitter of Chaos রশ্মি (@TheRealStanRay) reportedWow you’re slow. It’s based on Spiderman sightings. People input it like reporting a road block or car on the side of the road on Waze.

TruthOverBS (@TeamFUKR) reported@JohnWilliamFau2 @DixieNormu95224 @MafiaMasshole That’s not accurate. Burgess didn’t “discover nothing.” He used multiple independent data sources, vehicle telemetry, odometer readings, power cycle data, Ring and bar surveillance footage, Waze data from John O’Keefe’s phone, and the three-point turn, to align timing across systems and refine the vehicle timeline. Both sides’ experts were present when the SD card was retrieved, and the process was documented with photographs as outlined in Burgess’s report. The SD card and related modules are in evidence as part of the case record. DiSogra was not asked by the defense to conduct independent testing or produce his own report. Instead, he was retained to review the Commonwealth’s existing reports and opinions. He would have seen the images the experts took of the SD card in the report. He also acknowledged that based on the labeling in the report, he made an inference about what a chart meant, which the prosecution clarified was referencing a slightly different dataset. His opinion is based on reviewing existing materials, not independent forensic reconstruction. The defense did not make any argument that the 74.5% reverse event didn’t happen. Their position is about timing, suggesting the possibility that John locked his phone seconds before or after the reverse maneuver. That is a timing interpretation, not a denial of the vehicle data itself. John O’Keefe’s DNA was found on the back right taillight housing, his clothing, and a cocktail glass. Hair consistent with the victim was also recovered from the bumper. Debris collected from his shirt and sweatshirt included tiny fragments of clear and red plastic, with threads from his clothing embedded in some of the shards. Welcher also testified that an arm impact could be consistent with taillight damage if the vehicle was traveling over roughly 8 mph, and the TechStream data shows speeds up to 24 mph in reverse during the trigger event. You can argue interpretation, but it’s not accurate to say there’s no SD card integrity, no chain of custody, or no supporting physical or digital evidence. That’s not what the record reflects. The defense did not produce an expert to refute the reverse maneuver. I am also done with the gish gallop questioning. One issue at a time, not a rambling stream of consciousness of your "guesses."
-
Bobby Boulders (@ItsBig_Earl) reported@SnooCompliments You guys seem to put a lot of faith into John’s Waze app and a correlation of time done by a guy who has been pursuing a 4 year degree for 18+ years…What exactly is the issue here? Trust the data right? Except when it implicates the house defendants….then it’s obviously just wrong.

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.
