-
Irksome (@Irksome73) reported@ListerLawrence It's a @waze problem - they need to add the option for highway agency or whatever its called this week.
-
DJ (@congressdj) reported@phibetakitten Don’t get me wrong. It will reach the closed road and detour just fine. The problem was that so many roads were closed, it kept mapping to the closed roads and then doing detours. It was almost endless at one point. Using Waze I was able to navigate it in 1/10 the time
-
Chip Acker (@ChipAcker) reportedDear @waze I love your maps! However, since you added the animation at app launch, my app locks up and I can’t put in my desired address. It works about 50% of the time. Please fix it. In the meantime I’ll be using @Apple maps.
-
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
-
Jen (@LegalMindedGiGi) reported@Dan_Donovan_17 @factsdontlie10 I believe the Waze time issue was discussed in first trial.
-
Courtney Nicholson (@courtsmegan00) reported@Lean78 @waze Us and others are having the same issue
-
TSLAnPA (@TSLAnPA) reported@vad3rt3sla Like Waze… It would also be nice if there is traffic to know the reason: car crash, construction, etc…
-
usoma (@usomaahah) reported@EyrahClyne @XavierNaxa I use it a lot. Due to navigation is easy to understand. But a lot of bugs still need to be reported and fix, need more users to use and reports. Even GMap or Waze still has bugs with large user base. Sometimes Apple Maps has newer update that them
-
paperwork nota (@icecoldbanger) reported@WormWoodMotorCO same issue @waze what’s happening ???
-
LeBBC (@Big_Black_Coq) reportedThey simply slow down when police are spotted or WAZE warns them, then they speed right back up.
-
The People's Party (@ESideEnt57) reported@hippyygoat Negative jurisdiction is in America you can sue WAZE contract for attempting to subvert jurisdiction. As jurisdiction in held were the issue took place.

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.

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
-
Brittney🥪 (@kurizmatik) reported@JEllulz I liked when I was working in Los Angeles and Waze introduced the no unprotected left hand turns feature.
-
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….
-
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 ****
-
Sef Kombo (@SefKombo) reported.@Waze please add option for a broken down vehicle
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.
-
Mashiya'Mahle 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇨🇩🇵🇸 (@Manqoba22Ngcobo) reported@LeviKriel @T_Tremaine10 @JacintaNgobese Waze wa dramatic nawe, who said anything about spilling blood? When has demanding what's rightfully ours become a problem? illegal can never be legal, how many more kids have to die, who's child has to be trafficked for you to wake up?
-
GUYER (@reyuglatig6pge) reported@LarryBrockJr Can anyone provide a map of the flock cameras in the Portland metro area? What about Waze? Is this another issue too tied to flock?
-
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
-
Jonathan Mills (@ICommunityNote) reported@DillonLoomis @butala_aryan Can they just partner with Waze and fix everything overnight? That would be good.
-
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.
-
Louis (@Trolasse) reportedI also have been trying out FSD in Belgium. It is impressive for sure, but still not perfect. Too slow, and the routing is very bad: compared to Waze, it takes wrong roads that add a few minutes of trip time. It sometimes misses exits on the highway, etc. I think it is the future, but I don't think a lot of people would spend 100€/month for it currently (people in Europe have less money!). Maybe just take it during the holidays to make big trips, or if you are a senior (it drives better than my grandpa for sure).

Sunny Spirit ❤ 🌻 (@SunnySpirit1919) reportedI see the problem. You don't understand the data+are unable 2 synthesize info. SUV running clock SYNCED 2 REAL-WORLD TIME. John’s WAZE history CONFIRMS route= 💥WHEN+WHERE they were 💥Corroborated WHAT MAKES IT BULLETPROOF w/other OBJECTIVE DATA=Karen Read Techstream+Infotainment
-
Mark (@Mark25418098) reported@canttreadonmi @gilarutrina @TruthFairy131 You are so correct. For a moment, I felt bad for the victim. But now I see the error of my Waze and I’ll go whip myself and apologize for my absence of pigmentation. Yes.
-
Orvill Samanta (@orvilldesign) reportedWhy is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.
-
Maxim Oskolsky (@oskolsky_maxim) reported@Altawesomeee Built this app to solve my own problem: I use multiple navigation apps, but none of their favorites sync together. I got tired of saving the same places over and over across Google Maps, Waze, Yandex, etc.
-
🫶🏽forcoloredsonly. (@waytooblunt_) reportedWaze was already based in Israel. Please stop the fake outrage every time yall discover a new piece of information. You move over to google or apple and you still gone have the same problem.
-
Craig Jones (@CraigJones62051) reported@BuckeyeEmpire Waze gives you at least half a mile to slow to 73 and look for the *******. Use it.
