I've been using it for a few years and it is handy.
Not sure if the same in the US, but here in Canada we are getting a lot of pop up ads. To the point of missing my turn because ads keep popping up. |

There are no perfect GPS nav systems. I drive a service truck every day and so far have used Apple, Garmin, Tom Tom, Mapquest, Google, and Waze. Each has their benefits but for real time traffic and LEO updates I prefer Waze.
I have been driving these roads for 40 years and it will regularly find a short cut I never considered before, a huge time saver. It has directed me through South Central LA and Eastside Riverside but I tend to ignore these detours and let it reroute after I pass the suggested off ramp. "Avoid ghetto" would be a worthwhile paid upgrade. |
Waze takes me through some pretty sketchy parts of the south/west sides of Chicago on my daily commute, but its saves a ton of time. I run waze 98% of the time I am in the car, if for nothing else than the LEO warnings. The last time time I didn't run Waze was 3 years ago on a easy saturday morning drive to the lake in my wife's suv...and I got popped going 88 in a 65 running with the flow of traffic. Never again.
That being said, in the past few months (with both Waze and Google Maps) I have had constant issues of the gps dropping out, then the app thinking I am all the sudden on a surface street on not on the highway, which leads to about 10 reroutes in 30 seconds. I understand why the apps get confused in they city because of the buidlings, but does anyone have any idea why it would be happening in suburban driving? When I say constant, I mean at least 3-4 "jumps" of my location per each 30 min trip. |
