Waze Navigation App

Anyone here using Waze on their smartphone? Just started using it when my bro-in-law said he liked it.

Seems like an interesting idea -- get the people driving to update the traffic/speed traps/construction issues/stopped cars on the road. You can even update gas station prices for everyone else to see. With links to facebook & twitter, it combines social networking with navigation. It has the ability to create groups that travel the same route you do.

My biggest concern is the distraction factor. If folks on waze are constantly updating traffice conditiions and speed traps, that may lead to other 'wazzers' having to add more addicents due to distracted waze drivers.

Thoughts?
