  @WazeNederland @waze Hi, I’ll re-install the app on my Iphone and try if this will solve the problem

  @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.

  @elormkdaniel 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.

  @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.

  @JayGenXer When using Waze on the 410, it actually comes up on the screen that the area has a high crash history. I hate driving anywhere near Brampton & try to avoid it.

  @dilantha_de @AlsieLC His Waze app was not working, his other phone didn't work either. In terms of not being genuine, Careem gave me a full refund so not sure what is angle might have been. Likely new as not knowing Al Quoz to JVC is a rookie error

  @Dan_Donovan_17 @HoldenMaur50368 Nobody is arguing that the GPS became more refined after Waze was opened. That’s normal. The issue is that you are treating the data interpretation as absolute and undisputed when it wasn’t. A more accurate GPS signal does not automatically prove the CW timeline or interpretation of events. Green’s point was about how the timestamps and various phone artifacts aligned with each other not whether GPS accuracy improved from 20m to 5m.

  @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?

  @constans Israel has prominent Jews working for it, an office in Tel Aviv, has acquired Israeli startups (Waze, Wiz), etc. If these ghouls go looking they can always find a reason to protest any large company over the Omnicause. See also Starbucks, Coca-Cola, ...

  @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.

  I 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).

  @FSDyinzer @TheAccuracyPoli @Teslarati 💯 That is exactly what I was talking about. It is quite frustrating. There are plenty of navigation systems out there that they could model from. Why is it still an issue? And their map data is pretty old as well. A peer managed mapping system similar to Waze would be awesome.

  FSD needs some systemwide Waze type features. Road construction is one of the biggest issues with navigation.

  @Julius_S_Malema @NgizweMchunnu Working for you is real colonisation. Imagine wasting all the time for your lawyer just for and apology? Chief use your resources very waze. How does and apologise benefit the ground flow of Eff? Yeah @FloydShivambu really was running the retail store for you.

  They simply slow down when police are spotted or WAZE warns them, then they speed right back up.
