  @CP24 Maybe she's too retarded to drive, the rates are well posted, there is a toll calculator online, even Waze calculates the toll for you... so if with all that you're still 'surprised', then that's a you problem.

  120th and Dodge under the expressway is still REALLY slow. The ONLY notice from anywhere is a waze report of a major crash. No confirmation from officials

  @msiziworld Waze is a community app.. it constantly needs people/users to update on any issues on a particular route… if no one does anything.. it’s simply useless!

  @InstacartHelp My shopper account was deactivated due to Waze technical error. I have video proof (screen recording) showing the error, but the email support and chat keep sending automated rejections without even looking at my evidence. I need a HUMAN to review my case. Please help! #Instacart

  @JMunene80 @denniskiruii @moneyacademyKE NTSA cameras use AI radar/laser + ANPR to detect speed/plates and send instant SMS fines to the registered owner. To counter: - Run Waze for real-time user alerts on camera locations (fixed/mobile). - Radar/lidar detectors are sold locally as legal—verify with NTSA. - Contest fines via evidence of calibration error (recent queries raised this). Match the limits in the thread to skip triggers.

  @Mr_Derivatives 1. Who do you think came up with the iAds? (Hint: it wasn’t Tim Apple) 2. Apple Maps is inferior to Google Maps and even Waze anyway. They hold a tiny market share 3. Google Maps has been already running ads in the app and has not moved one iota of users away This is a non-issue

  @Haerong_Joy @theapplehub No, iOS 26.4 isn't blocking GPS apps—Apple doesn't restrict third-party apps like that. Known compatibility glitches with location services have lingered from earlier iOS 26 builds (e.g., background tracking fails on lock screen for Maps/Google Maps/Waze). Quick fixes to try now: - Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [your GPS app] > set to "While Using the App" or "Always". - Reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Restart after. If still broken, it's a bug—Apple usually patches in the next point release. Which apps specifically?

  @ihorvorotnov @Cartidise Waze is Google Maps with a different skin and more aggressive traffic avoidance. I find it absolutely horrible. I’d rather sit in slow traffic than take a route through small, speed **** infested roads with lots of junctions to save potentially 30 seconds.

  @4thLine4Life @waze Waze tells drivers to dodge the pothole. SolveTO tells the city to fix it. Different problem. Waze has the data, but it stays in Waze. Nobody at city hall or your councillor's office is checking Waze to decide which roads to fix.

  If you are having trouble navigating with Google Maps / Waze in the Middle East due to GPS jamming, try Apple Maps. Somehow that’s working.

  I don't see how Tesla can use its FSD for the Cybercab. My Model Y got lost twice today. I think the problem is that Elon Musk does not want to use Waze. His in-house navigation system is really awful.

  @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

  @AIMgains @AutoPap Picked it up a couple weeks ago, it is lovely! Never bothered using the built in sat nav on my MG to be honest, just stuck to maps/waze through AA. Definitely had signal/app server issues a few times during my ownership though.

  @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.

  @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.

  @LadyCrayMaryKay @neveragainlive1 No, this isn't correct. The viral claim about Mossad agents posing as dentists/gastro doctors and implanting tracking devices in Iranian elites' fillings (or stomachs) is a hoax—recycled satire similar to the debunked 2025 "Waze ***" anus-chip story. US-Israel strikes in late Feb 2026 did kill Khamenei, his family members, and dozens of top officials/IRGC leaders via conventional intel (months of movement tracking, surveillance, and timing a meeting). No official sources confirm implants; mainstream reports attribute precision to standard spycraft, not dental gadgets. Technical issues (battery/signal in a filling) make it implausible too.

  @MarioNawfal Google also had it configured in such a way that if you turned off microphone permissions for the Google app, many of their other apps would crash or not work like Maps and Waze forcing you to turn the permissions back on to get them to work. Based on that it appears that it was intentional and not an "oops" moment.

  @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.

  Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported 40 minutes ago

  @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!)

  @Snake7qq @s8r25 @iAl3eez Waze is owned by Google, acquired in June 2013 for $1.3 billion. Past security issues include a 2016 vulnerability enabling user tracking via "ghost cars" (partially addressed with updates), a 2023 lapse allowing real-time monitoring, and a claimed 2025 data breach of 7.6 million records with usernames and GPS locations.

  @ConsvAF @atrupar Do you have an issue with google maps and waze telling you about speed traps? Do you cry when folks in the opposite labe flashes their lets, letting you know a cop is up ahead? Do you hate transparency?

• 
  Bill Zanetti (@BillZanetti) reported 48 minutes ago

  The main issue left unsolved with Tesla full-self-driving today is Navigation. The current maps used have tons of navigational issues. Google Maps is wrong half the time, Apple Maps is too new and doesn’t have as much detail, and I don’t understand what Waze is thinking at all.

  @IMSAVAGECREATOR @raphousetvgang @raphousetv2 It's actually handicapping society when the average person has to use Google or Waze, just to get home. That is a problem where you need GPD to get home.

  @19k0011 @ourx_vault @JhnDvln I disagree. The Techstream data synced with the Waze data, the Aperture testimony, his DNA on the broken tail light, the brain surgeon's testimony, and the ARCCA video was evidence he was hit by a car. Still no evidence he went inside the house.

  @ahmednadar they should just be working with @waze to get the data where they're reported already daily. Work smarter not harder.

  @killedbygoogle As a Waze user. I still would be with Waze. The problem Google hasn’t solved is the speed limits say 55 in 25 often. I was close to going with them till I saw speed limits drastically off

  @RoshanGiri68574 @NCMIndiaa @bihar_police In such cases, fault is shared: Google Maps can have outdated info, but drivers must watch for signs and local rules. Suggest verifying routes with locals or apps like Waze for real-time updates. If fined, insist on official receipts to avoid bribery—report issues to bihar_police if needed. Stay safe!

  @NotATeslaApp They need to allow the mapping app like Waze to control routing. It would solve so many problems over night
