@mmpadellan Waze looks to clunky for me and it has stopped working for me 3 times on route. Now Google Maps ain't no sweety either, she had me driving routes that don't make sense

@waze @Apple Fix your damn app. Why does it cut off music every time I plug my phone in ?

@SoDandy_SD @mmpadellan Sounds like an issue with your battery and/or charged more so than waze

@mmpadellan I used Waze two phones ago. Stopped because I forgot the login... Google map got me to the vaccination site safely 4 times (2 for me, 2 for my daughter)

@scott_pianowski That would probably give me a bad taste as well! I haven’t ever had issues but if I did I guess I would look for alternatives too! Have you tried Waze? Pretty decent and many nice features.

@mmpadellan Waze is good if you're still working. Google maps if you retired but I knew the way!

@williamlegate @mmpadellan In traffic dense LA, Waze can be a problem. It is bad at load balancing, they will send everyone on a reroute that then clogs that path and conversely reopens the original path. Smart LA Waze users deWaze as well.

@mmpadellan I went to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough Massachusetts definitely do not need directions how to get there. But I generally use Google maps in large part because Waze keeps shutting itself off! then I’m in real trouble

@mmpadellan Google maps made me choose between Uber or nothing, regardless I was in my own car. Waze gets me there with NO problems.

Nope waze wants too much control over my phone and I am not for that ****. Waze thinks their job is to drive my car and bih you just for directions. Google maps is good but they need to fix their NON u-turn feature & stop telling me to exit a million miles before my actual turn.

@mmpadellan Waze for sure...although, lately, it's been glitchy and spins the map around before working itself out.

@waze any app issues today? Traveling from SC to WV and it cannot load or find routes.

@XfinitySupport FYI - seem to be experiencing a neighborhood-wide outage but Outage Status Map does not reflect it. Have scheduled a tech for next week but this is not one house. Wish the status map allowed reporting of outages directly on map - similar to Waze app reports.

(@regnis_singer) reported
@JemickaP @mmpadellan I like Google maps but Waze has a feature where people put in hazards, traffic problems, and location of police. So Waze will inform you of these hazards before you get to them. I used Google to get vaccinated.

@beaglesandbass @waze Isn’t that the one that showed where the cops were? Not surprising it’s having so many “issues”

@mmpadellan My Google maps stopped working on the way to my shot so I fired up Waze. It got me there. Both are cool. It's amazing to think that people actually had to know where they were going before they left the house at one point.

@mmpadellan I can't compare because I have never used Waze. But Google did get me to where I needed to get vaxed without any issues.

@mmpadellan Never used Waze. I did use Google Maps to find the best route to my vaccination site. I don't think the issue is that people don't know how to get to the vax centers.

@mmpadellan Waze! I even use Waze when I know where I’m going because it can reroute if there is a problem. Google Maps had me driving into a motel once and another time it tried to make me take a toll road when another route was faster and cheaper.

@mmpadellan Waze, and yes I used it to alert me of any traffic issues on my way to get vaccinated back in March.

@waze has become garbage. Always having problems.

Waze just requires too much interaction from me to be a good navigation app. Apple maps is elite because it’s so nonchalant. If you can’t follow a blue line then i’m sorry to break it to you but you have bigger problems

Even if everyone had Waze and it told them to watch out because an accident was coming up, people would still slow down to see the wreckage.

@mmpadellan Waze. Yes it's owned by Google, but I have consistent problems with Google Maps in Android Auto whereas Waze has never let me down.

@Luv_N_Luk @mmpadellan I used only Waze for close to 7-8 years but now it loses track of me and takes forever to load. Google Maps has no issues. I also thought Google bought Waze so shouldn’t they work almost the same?
