  Ever cried on the road? Well, 01.00am, I am in Abu Dhabi, both Waze & Google Maps are not working. The signage is blacked out. 20 mins of frustration, driving & not knowing where you are going. I just started crying. Wanted to drive back to Dubai but had left something at the hotel. Pulled over to order a taxi to guide me but couldn’t even pin to my location. Na ni highways. Hakuna maduka to ask

  It is the same with Waze or Google maps. Sometimes the route I selected is because different reasons and saving time is not important. Looks like a problem with all these routing software

  @EliAfriatISR Waze says “turn on Main Street” but it should be “turn onto Main Street”. There’s no way to correct it, the grammatical error is baked in. Other than that it’s decent and I use it.

  @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.

  @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

  @waze FIX APPLE CAR!!!!

  Ben (@ben_toto23) reported 35 minutes ago

  @TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

  @waze Wait your quick action to fix this. Most of users experiencing the same. So it should be general issue now. No need to be hassled submiting here and there.

  @BoBbyPleWniaK FSD needs to know to slow down to speed limit when it sees a cop. It should also speak to other Teslas and navigation should know where cops are like waze

  @ListerLawrence It's a @waze problem - they need to add the option for highway agency or whatever its called this week.

  Ahmedkhan (@Ahmed___khaan) reported 43 minutes ago

  Because 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.

  i complained about this in a reddit convo i was having and someone tried to argue that drivers use waze to avoid traffic? even after i'd given multiple examples of drivers not understanding me saying "just turn on broadway instead" it's such a problem i hate it

  @mrfundman They should use Waze. If there's something wrong with the map, just click report and a volunteer editor that lives in that area will fix it within a few days. That includes speed limit data which Teslas have issues with.

  @CoasterK24 so...on our "waze" type theme park app, we can include buttons on rides for users to check if a feature is working or not...like when you check that a car is still on the side of the road like waze etc, and you can report a feature not working etc...cl

  @wholemars Fix the bloody navigation. Use a reliable mapping service with local editors who fix problems quickly -- aka Waze.

  The Bass Hog (Jonathan Marlow) (@THEBASSHOG) reported 59 minutes ago

  @saltedfishdivin @BarrettYouTube Because you use the word, private prison, you have to understand that those are not government run operations. So it as a private business contracted to house criminals and it is trying to come up with Waze to make it profitable, rather than a complete business loss. One way is to get government subsidies, the other way is to allow them to employ their prisoners at a very low salary. A lot of the jails are starting to require that prisoners pay three dollars a day for their room, board and healthcare. If the prisoner is not already wealthy enough to pay that out of their own pocket, then the only option they really have is working. The other legal issue is the “except clause” of the 13th amendment, which says that slavery is abolished except as punishment for crime. The thing with Chinese slave labor is that they are turning people into criminals simply because of their religious beliefs and ethnicity, not because they committed a terrible crime.
