Does anybody else use WAZE app in car?

SurfDog · 09-22-2012, 01:47 PM

I have been using the WAZE app on my dash and love it. Just recently it gave me a heads up of the location of no less than 3 speed traps on my 45 minute drive into denver. The police in my area are using lazer now (not easy to detect radar) WAZE is great for keeping my situational awareness up.

I like that my fellow motorists can start tracking the movements of law enforcment (and all sorts of other road hazards), so we collectivley can keep each other out of harms way.

yep, me too , just started using it about 2 weeks ago. Live traffic reports is far better than my stand alone garmin with live traffic. Go figure, the power of user created content I suppose.

use this all the time there is backups or traffic jams, love it, Im part of the daily Hartford commuting crew, I feel like I use it more than I contribute though, maybe I should start posting updates.

SurfDog · 09-24-2012, 07:47 PM

I like it only takes two or three button pushes to report a "hazard" (car on shoulder cop etc)

I have avoided several Hazards in the last year and am therefore a loyal user.

With laser guns so prevalent now, radar detectors are becoming less useful on detecting certain "hazards". You got to have crowd sourced traffic info (like WAZE) to feel like you not barreling into bad situations.

I wish I could somehow recommend a day of WAZE use to all our members. I know 90 percent would be grateful for the tip!!

I think a lot of people would benefeit from this app. Well developed and made, and the user interface is amazing and helpful, it gives me updates on traffic accidents faster than most news channel feeds because its LIVE 24/7 and immediate

Havent had an opportunity to check it out at the app store...what is cost and does it work on all iphones? I have a 4s (I think)....

SurfDog · 09-25-2012, 11:14 AM

4s is what I use too.

It is free!

Probably the best app I have.

Only drawback is that to work it needs to be in data coverage.

SurfDog · 09-25-2012, 11:17 AM

I feel about this app the way I felt when I discovered pandora. It is so great I can't wait to pass it along to my buddies.

blackcherry20 · 09-25-2012, 12:13 PM

OK-if we are sharing good apps I love Shazam too....it wil find a song for you from "listening" to it on the radio....also love pandora. I will def be looking up the Waze.

If I like it-reps to you Surfdog!
