Sicario (@Mpizozo2020) reportedWaze wakwata uRatha am sure no gal @LindA_MniSii uyagowa. Problem with this judge is that he hates these accused, and I doubt it is because of Senzo Meyiwa's murder. This old hag is ***** @OCJ_RSA this is not a judge but a criminal representing justice sysytem #SenzoMeyiwaTrial

Big Belly (@_ImJustTy) reportedThe @waze app has become a PAIN in my *** over these past few months. At first I thought it may have been a CarPlay issue or due to my data, but it’s not! It doesn’t update in a timely fashion like it used to and I end up having to bust a u turn because I’ve gone the wrong way
-
Wayne Kennedy (@lilwaynekennedy) reportedThis 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

John_Hawkins (@JohnHawkin71262) reported@ClimateWarrior7 I just drive at normal speeds and slow down for the cameras. Use Waze and even alerts you to police mobile cameras. Never any points.

Ahmedkhan (@Ahmed___khaan) reportedBecause your phone is basically a tiny traffic sensor. Google Maps doesn’t “see” traffic, it measures behavior. Thousands of phones on the same road continuously send anonymized GPS location and speed data. The system groups these signals by road segments and compares current speeds with historical patterns. When vehicles suddenly slow down, like from 60 km/h to 10 km/h, it flags congestion and turns the road red in real time. Then comes Waze. After Google acquired it, the real power was in combining data, not merging apps. Waze users actively report accidents, police, closures, and hazards, and that information flows directly into Google Maps. In return, Google’s massive data improves Waze’s routing and traffic predictions. So even if you never open Google Maps, your phone can still be contributing to traffic detection. You’re not just using the map. You are the map.

AngryFrank (@ang6377) reported@AnthonyCumia Spot on for the 2nd half. Here’s the problem with the 1st part, “speeding violations” mean cameras where they keep lowering the speed limit after people’s waze app lets them know when there’s a camera and they stop ripping people off
-
Craig Jones (@CraigJones62051) reported@BuckeyeEmpire Waze gives you at least half a mile to slow to 73 and look for the *******. Use it.
-
Mark (@1zSolace) reported@waze why does every intersection I pass, Waze thinks I am turning at? Every time the map turns thinking I turned when I never even touched the wheel. Can you fix that?
-
Sokhulu (@mla4zo) reported@Malome_ZA 400+ parties and your problem is just 1 lol ... waze waphupha mfhana wami

Tony (@TonyB_1997) reported@bigdavetalks @prestonjbyrne Quite right. It’s illegal to break the speed limit in a car, and the fastest you can go on any road is 70MPH. Yet we can still buy cars that can reach 200MPH or more. If you get caught speeding, you will receive a fine. A minor issue, normally. But if you breaking the speed limit is an aggravating factor in a far more serious incident, such as a fatal accident, then the implications will be far more severe. So, yeah, you could carry on using a VPN and dodge around the rudimentary efforts to enforce it (think speed cameras when using Waze) and you’ll likely get away with it. But one day you won’t, or one day you’ll commit some other crime and the VPN usage will aggravate it.

NOMERCY (@NOMERCY4UTODAY) reported@HumanityChad If this was NY, they would have put two orange cones around it all summer, then decide to fix on Monday at 8am so Waze can reroute you because the street is now closed because of road work.

tanny.sol 🔻 (@iLoveSpectra) reportedthis is a ******** in the face to we useful idiots who spent insane money deploying hotspots, working on HIPs, subDAOs governance. they just keep selling off the vital organs of the ecosystem and are giving nothing to the builders. were like Waze mappers who got nothing on IPO.
-
Ian Bennetts (@IanBennettsAUS) reported@freeloader2021 Is the problem FSD the Driver or FSD the Navigator. I think map data needs lanes selection like waze
-
Neel (@neelshah545) reported@MapmyIndia @narendramodi Make ui smooth no lag and make app ui simple not overlays . Try to copy from apple maps or waze or if copyright issue arise try to use ui of Chinese maps
-
AnonyMassLawyer (@anonymasslawyer) reported@Suzybeau1 @Martine05885145 The WiFi login time came from Karen’s phone. Guarino’s testimony. Uncontested. The GPS data can be wrong within its stated error range, which was very small while Waze was activated.
-
The Sentient Dog Group (@e_considine) reported@The_Suburbanist I would say the obvious problem with your original idea is coordination. How do you coordinate 'paying people' not to drive into an area to limit specific traffic jams? If Waze offered that I suspect some people would try to make money by driving into rush hour traffic.

Blessed sibanda (@blessedbanele) reported@SengezoTsh17075 Ndoda waze asithengisa libalele nje do you even think about what you doing and I think ndebele people we should work up we can fix this by other means like ke this tshabangu guy should pay for what he did and what he's doing
-
The Joker 🇿🇦 (@Sir_The_Joker) reported@MbalulaFikile Waze wawu msoonooh Mbalula. I mean you act as if you don't live in South Africa and you are not part of the big problem! We have a big illegal immigrants problem that you contributed to while you were a minister of police. You did fokol... Uyanyanyisa bra!!!

Snedley Grassbuckets (@sned) reported@wholemars Fix the bloody navigation. Use a reliable mapping service with local editors who fix problems quickly -- aka Waze.

Alan (@bitforth) reported@GergelyOrosz I am not surprised because I happen to have friends there. Google also uses them, Facebook names them differently but it's essentially the same thing. Especially in RL, the FANG documents, and so do most large tech companies. I would even challenge your claim that PRDs decide what should be built. In most companies, the core decision already exists before anyone opens the document either because a big customer problem has escalated, or an executive has set a priority, or sales demand a feature, a competitor has moved, or a small group has already agreed on the direction. A PRD RARELY creates that decision. They're mostly artifacts that large organizations require to make work visible to people who are not in the room where product decisions happen. You worked at Uber. You should know this better than most... the actual decision gets made in a meeting, a Slack thread, or a conversation between a few senior people. THEN the PRD is written just to formalize the decision, gather approvals, assign ownership, and create evidence of cross-functional collaboration. During calibration, that artifact becomes proof that someone “drove alignment” across six teams. The strongest case for a PRD is pretty much to stop people from building 6 different interpretations of the same idea, but then again... Google uses them aggressively and it is almost the perfect counterexample. It launched Allo and Duo while Hangouts already existed. It later killed Allo, split Hangouts into Chat and Meet, and eventually folded Duo into Meet. It ran Inbox beside Gmail for four years, then shut Inbox down and moved parts of it into Gmail. It acquired Waze in 2013, explicitly kept its product team separate, and still develops both Waze and Google Maps as overlapping navigation products more than a decade later. I am 100% SURE all of those teams had detailed PRDs. In fact, a polished PRD can make duplication worse. It gives every team a coherent narrative, supporting metrics, a roadmap, and a professional-looking artifact with which to defend its territory.

SchumaModelY (@SchumaModel3) reported@TeslaTim2 @Tesla @Tesla_AI Hey Tesla, ask for help! Waze, google, whatever. Just FIX THIS ****!

Zlatan Gomez (@zan_diva) reportedCan I vent ??? As a person from the townships who moved to the suburbs.. I'm struggling with Police visibility.. my brain associates cops with trouble.. I'd only see cops when they are WORKING.. here they just around, nje.. Just parked nje. Waze shows 9 cops.. nje just present

Isisí (?) (@luisuxanz) reported@BowTiedPassport Trusting the Waze ETA is the ultimate error in CDMX

Mr. Zombie Reagan-We will survive. Am Yisrael Chai (@tattooedsaint1) reported@jessisajew Yep. I'm a happy Waze customer in the US, and excited to continue to use it in Israel. Now about that Moovit app... it's tied with Pango, and I'm having trouble getting them to change out a card that I used 3 years ago because it now requires Israeli ID to use?
-
Jarek Hunt (@Gun2MoufCPR) reported@HenMazzig Who gives a **** about Waze? Figure out your under 30 in USA and their lack of support for Israel problem….
-
Irksome (@Irksome73) reported@ListerLawrence It's a @waze problem - they need to add the option for highway agency or whatever its called this week.
-
Vince (@TheVSal) reported@waze please respond or acknowledge that the widespread CarPlay issue is being worked on?
-
David Makogon (@dmakogon) reported@AustyUSA Don’t forget all the people who hate on CarPlay, with snarky comments like… comparing to a coke freestyle machine. Tesla software is nowhere near perfect. Map/direction issues, non-trivial air control, small fonts & touch zones, no Waze, no proper group texts, on and on.
-
Rex_Tudor_Coup (@iamgnurr) reported@Serk_TX @deaflibertarian Fine by me. Waze is slow and irritating. Google never gets me lost. And, as a dude, I'll never pull over and ask somebody. :)
-
zeerusli (@zeerusli) reported@waze It's already updated the last version. So many experienced the same. When will you fix this.
