Anoop Rao K | ಅನೂಪ್ ರಾವ್ (@anoopraok) reportedThis UI bug is causing lots of issues because I can't see the exit number and during driving I have to keep on seeing the map to exactly see the exit on maps and not the exit number on the top. @Waze_UAE @waze #waze
-
casungo (@casungo) reported@ardeiusmaleus @catgirlprostate np! if you want to see how they mapped it you can go to the Waze Map Editor, login, and if you go near a part of the map not part of your current environment it will prompt you to switch. eventually I think they will merge everything but idk

michal c🇮🇱🎗 (@michalys) reported@HenMazzig Did they give up their amart phone, the nevigator they use, The clean water they drink, the face time ups, their medical advanced service, technology, their stens.. their waze... oh wait, its ALL Israel' inventions! Who is working now on a stunning hypcricy magic heal capsulate? Their way to the psycho is open...no one can save these idiots from their selves

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?!
-
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 :)
-
Guy Lessard (@Guy_Lessard) reported@therealDeFlock Has anyone made an app that tracks them or maybe puts them into the Waze app since police sightings, accidents, and even pot holes are crowd sourced. Like reporting it as a broken traffic light. Make that a code for a flock camera on Waze.

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.

NEresh (@neresh7) reported@markgoldbridge You are a moron. We broke the bank for really elite upcoming young talent. Mind you CR was 12 million only. Waze was the next best thing , made sense it was broken. Rio was the best english defender , also broke the record. Veron was the exception and a miss.

InOneScoop (@InOneScoop) reportedShouldn’t Tesla fix its navigation issues instead of terrafab first? I know many like my fam that paused FSD subscription due to continuous navigation intervention. I man even Mapquest is more accurate. Hear me out: solution? Terra Giga Map Fab. A 335 football field long factory that will be the platinum (not gold) standard of all mapping. Compute won’t be a problem for this either because the terrafab 1 will then be joined by terrafab 2 which will be 10x larger for colossal compute power. I know I know you are asking “but why not just license and integrate Fkn Waze?” Well, for that we have to wait for Elons master plan 18 due in 2029

—𝙺𝚊𝙼𝚊𝚕𝚞𝚕𝚎𝚔𝚊🌸 (@Sizi_phiwe) reported@bongyluaziey Hmmm waze wayibeka mina ngyakuzwa however we cant control what people do because they might have tried to fix their skin but still face problems
-
fluxity (@tjosephfluxity) reported@KSTP People will just use Waze and slow down, more tax money wasted. Common nature of people has to be considered for this crap before it's put up. Washington DC had a ton of them and everyone just mapped them - dumb.
-
EmperorX (@Caesar_DX) reported@leahfiles Switch to OSMand. Offline opensourced navigation. No tracking and no internet required. Works in the most remote places where Waze or Maps fail and stop working. More features and options than Waze and Maps combined. Take ownership of your privacy.
-
Sportmotor (@Sportmotor181) reported@Finnaboutanut @DonShift3 Google maps is integrated with waze now too my man. If your trying to avoid them, dont use Google maps, waze, or apple maps. Atleast Waze is fairly accurate with police location you can slow down before hand
-
Lawrence (@neuercechr) reported@Itsian1907 @severuben Waze is a slow, battery eating piece of ****
-
Skullaz-san🇯🇲 (@xSkullaz) reported@jay26440083 @perryodontology nothing is wrong with using waze the app has a reporting feature that helps editors to fix routing issues. so unless someone reports it then it wont get fixed
-
bipo 🎈 (@bipobuilt) reportedsee the problem with google maps and waze is that waze has way better cop reporting but every time i try to use it for navigation that shits ***** me all up cause I dont go anywhere normal so I gotta use google maps but the reporting SUCKS ****
-
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. :)
-
Anele Simelane (@AneleCebekulu) reportedStill can’t believe that they water people hit an electric cable that the electricity people have to fix and we’re going on 48hrs of no power in Bryanston 😭 Yoh City of Johannesburg waze wasenza!

Chris Vaughan (@calmorit) reported@MagaSgt @waze What’s the issue? No doubt you know the route to McDonalds.
-
Just4usewith_thisapp (@just4usewith) reported@naomirwolf @Uber Occasionally I have opened up the Waze App and had the volume on low so that the driver knows I'm comparing their route with the route from Waze. I stopped using Uber after the driver started pulling away from the curb before I was fully into the backseat-- and the door was still open. He only stopped when I yelled loudly. I use Lyft instead. All good, no problems.

D. Beck (@DBeck57030037) reported@drdrea1327 @mv010101 @GretchenVoss64 ●Broken TL. ●Pieces in John's clothing. ●Pieces at scene. ● #KarenRead statements, VMs, & texts. ●Scratches on John's arm. ●Broken bar glass. ●Techstream data. ●GPS, Apple Health, Waze. ●John's hair & DNA on back of her car. And I've probably missed a few items.

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

Bob Nordberg Bird Man Bob (@birdmanbob4) reported@leahfiles Here's your reply from the AI that just don't lie Speculative Intelligence Analysis: Waze as a Compromise Vector Location Pattern Exploitation**: Waze's continuous GPS pings, route history, speed data, and timestamps create a granular digital shadow of a target's movements—revealing regular visits to sensitive locations (e.g., hotels, clinics, private residences, or protest sites). An intelligence actor with access could cross-reference this against public records, social media, or other surveillance to build "kompromat" dossiers on affairs, medical issues, financial dealings, or undisclosed associations, then use timed leaks or implied exposure to coerce compliance, payments, or information. Real-Time and Predictive Targeting**: Live traffic/ETA data allows dynamic interception or influence operations—knowing exactly when someone is isolated in a vehicle or arriving at a vulnerable spot. Combined with app permissions (microphone/camera in some scenarios, or linked device data), it could enable opportunistic collection of audio/visual compromising material or facilitate "honey-trap" logistics by predicting availability and routes for assets. Historical data also predicts future behavior for pre-positioning. Network and Ecosystem Amplification**: Since Waze feeds into Google's broader data lake (and originated as an Israeli-founded company subject to local laws), aggregated user data can be queried at scale for social graph mapping—identifying who travels together, meets whom, and when. In a full compromise scenario, this integrates with OSINT, hacked devices, or partner-nation sharing to pressure targets via family/financial exposure, or even engineer "accidents"/discrediting events by manipulating perceived travel patterns. Privacy controls are weak once data leaves the device, and legal jurisdiction adds layers for state actors. This remains hypothetical and draws from known app telemetry practices. Actual misuse would require lawful (or illicit) access and is constrained by laws in most jurisdictions; strong operational security (VPNs, app isolation, location spoofing, minimal permissions) mitigates much of it.

Liberalism is a Mental Disease (@kytnwv) reported@Brand0n @Tesla_AI Have they programmed it to slow down when cops have been seen on the side of the road? Basically, is Waze built in and is it automated?
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@ChuckCook It's aggravating to me because it's obvious mapmate or whatever mapping program they use has such bad speed limit data in it, and the car acts on that. Why couldn't they just use Waze for speed limits? If there's a problem with a speed limit in Waze, just hit the report button and a local editor fixes it within a day or so. Source: I've been a local Waze editor for 12 years.

Skylarbear (@Skylarbear10) reported@congressdj Just buy Waze. Problem solved.

Skullaz-san🇯🇲 (@xSkullaz) reportedListen me no one force yall mofos to use waze!!

Think it tek boy fi sit up at nights fix **** so people routes while using waze can be better???
-
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!
-
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.

Woody (@Porketh) reported@ListerLawrence Waze, for best updates of issues ahead. It once warned of "vehicle in lane ahead" on 4 lane, dark/ unlit rainy M1.... And there was a car stopped with faded hazards. Been loyal since then. Today, used LR nav as phone was dead. Took me down two closed roads in France.
