alana(ca sawyer) (@paciorettys) reportedi 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

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.

Tracy Martin (@IAmATMFirearms) reported@CrudeOil4Life @Waze, fix your anti-America mistake.

Punished Sneed (@RacismFan45) reported@faustianwigger Reporting a crash on waze after i showed a cyclist the error of his ways (a hit and run).

Defected Russian Bot 🇺🇸💪🧡⬜️ (@DefectedRUBot) reportedHey @googlemaps stop breaking my Bluetooth music playing when you announce! iPhone 15 Pro Max has no issues with Apple Maps or even Waze! It’s only you! Ask the Waze team how they did it.

robertBA (@RobertVlasek) reportedHi, routing Udime-Tarvisio is broken. Doesn't know A23 @waze

Mycroft Brown (@MycroftBrown) reported@AutoInfatuation I’ve always used Google Maps and never had any issues. We’ve also got TomTom in the vans and I’ll be honest, they are shite, especially in central London. Tried Waze once and really couldn’t get on with it.

TimmerMcGraw, CFI 🇺🇸🔎 (@TimmerMcGraw) reported@TheGreenOldDill My latest issue with Waze is it insisting I go down a closed road, and continuing to reroute me back to the closed road.

Tony Velasco (@Tesla_PNW) reported@PhasedGravField @mikepat711 It's a big revenue earner here, along with excessive speed on hwy 500, where FSD has no probable going 15 or more over in Standard, Hurry, or Mad Max. The cops absolutely camp almost every morning along hwy 500 in se eral hidden locations in an area where traffic regularly goes ten to fifteen over and just rack up car after car. I have Waze running, so know when they are setup in those hidden spots, and make sure to drop to chill at least a mile before I get to that area when they are there to give FSD time to slow down, since it is often a sluggard about slowing down to new speeds when you change profiles. It will do it, but not always quickly.

Nope nope noping (@TomWright165389) reported@paxangloceltae I gave up using waze because it didn’t like the patchy signal and Googlemaps seemed more resilient . I wonder if they ever fixed that issue
-
𝘼𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙥 𝘼𝙞𝙧 🛫 (@AncapAir) reported@ArmitageX @waze I was the same way at first, but the hardware is actually solid. @GrapheneOS is working with Motorola to create a non-Google phone with the same hardware hardening they require, but that's still a ways out.

jdx (@jdxcode) reported@TheLaluka @waze @gouvernementFR I suspect if you were asking in the US they'd want nothing to do with it for liability reasons, no idea if there would be similar issues in France

Paugus Tadmuck (@PaugusSpdragoo) reported@MJBiercuk @qctrlHQ It depends on having an up-to-date map file in the system. While it may sound like how GPS works...it doesn't. With GPS, the receiver measures how long it takes to get the radio signal from the GPS constellation (since the speed of light in an atmosphere is pretty fixed), so it can calculate its position. Kind of like counting the time in seconds between seeing a lightning flash & hearing the thunder, then dividing by 6 to figure out how many miles away the lightning hit. At best, a gravitic-based sensor will tell you how far you might be from the closest portion of the Earth...but I suspect the math involved & the actual measurement & detection of the gravity field is much more complex than that. And since apparently they're saying "gravity fluxuates quite a bit as you travel through the ocean", that's why you need the updated map so that you can know where you're at. I also strongly suspect, now that I've had a few more days to think about it, that it also requires some sort of **initial** position fix to work. Because I would also suspect that, since a lot of the Earth's crust is made of similar materials, and there are sections of the ocean with similar depths & similar crust/coastal configurations, that the system can't just say "Given a gravitic flux of 0.xabcz, you are at latitude XX.YY.ZZ and longitude TT.UU.VV.", because that particular flux reading is probably **not** unique. Which makes this more akin to INS (which is ***highly*** dependent on knowing exactly where you started from to determine your current position)...unlike GPS, which (unless you're using Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or some other routing app) doesn't give AF where you started from, because it doesn't need that to know where you're currently at.

Patrick Campbell (@Fanta_Box) reported@NotATeslaApp Waze is also a Google based company, is that correct? So how would integrating another Google map platform fix an already problematic Google map platform?
-
Angie F. (@Angiebangie15) reportedI ABSOLUTELY hate when I put @waze on sleep mode and it comes back on on its own. I don’t want to drive through familiar areas with Waze running in the background. The app shouldn’t run unless I turn it on. Fix it because I’m close to deleting it!!!

James Blackley (@Kingstonian84) reported@Nalolie21 @MagaSgt @waze His own words in the video saying he likes seeing minors topless… I think the problem is you are too scared to admit you support **********.

Kool Aid Man (@koolaidman60833) reported@OnlyInBOS Problem isn’t Waze doesn’t differentiate vehicle size so the Lemmings follow it blindly

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
-
waze (@waze) reported@PURE_IGNORANCE 1/2Hey Jean Paul, I understand you're having routing issues. That can be frustrating. Waze navigation is crowd-sourced in real time, so reports depend on input from other drivers. If you see a report that isn't accurate, tap Not there to

tog² (@tog128) reported@leviackermanft It's all experience based. My Apple Maps experience is horrific in the UK. Google Maps imo is functionally superior. Waze is FAR better than both but lately it isn't announcing alerts for camera etc and I have the same problem.
-
Tina D Smith (@SmithTD123) reported@MagaSgt @waze You should do it! I guess I should get the app now to show my support. I prefer a level-headed approach to issues rather than tantrums.
-
@TeslaJuniperDriver (@JuniperDriver) reported@MetaverseGamma @diaper You would think, Waze has no issue with it but Mapbox apparently does. If FSD doesn’t see a speed change sign, the majority of the time it won’t change

NMH (@nosmh_x) reportedHow my car crash happened At around 5:10 I was driving in Jackson on East Veterans Highway and I missed a left turn into Bowman Road, instead of doing the right thing I decided to make a “k turn” (the road wasn’t wide enough for a “u turn” since it was just 2 lanes, 1 each side) So I looked both ways, there wasn’t a car in the incoming lane for a while so I was safe there, there was a pickup truck behind me by quite a distance and against my better judgment I decided to make that “k turn” Anyways as I’m in middle of doing it and I’m in the OTHER lane I suddenly realize that the pick up drunk that was behind me is now trying to cut me off and was speeding at a much higher speed on the OTHER lane Before I knew what was going on he (I assume it was a man) went straight into me and I rolled over at least once and was then held upside down by my seatbelt Anyways I then hear a voice (I think from Waze) “were you in an accident?”, I said “yes”, “would you like to call emergency services?” And apparently they dialed 911 from my phone

Faris (@farishussain) reported@boycatapp @amasad @ThePillarsApp We need a good 🍉 alternative to Waze (which is HQ'd in the false fake state) Please tag others in the industry, maybe someone is already working on it, or will be inspired to do so.
