Johnston Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 There are many but I guess common for all platforms (ios, android etc) is Google map. Infact, for many other apps the backbone is infact google map. But I wanna try other apps as well, do you think waze app could beat google maps interms of features? I wanted to download the same from here: https://androidcrew.com/app/com.waze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda_One Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Waze is owned by Google. Both are great but Waze is actively user supported and interactive. I been using Waze from the beginning before Google ownership and have their highest rating Royalty Wazer That and $5.00 will get me a coffee.

nevets27 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I read a comparison once where they had tested both google maps and Waze side by side. Thier conclusion was that Waze would do everything in its power to get you to your destination the quickest, meaning it might make you take a lot more turns. Google on the other hand looks to sacrifice some time getting to your destination for the sake of making the route less complex and therefore having less turns. Which they also concluded and which makes sense if what they saw was true of the behaviour of each, was that it didn't make much difference which app you used outside of the city. Which makes sense as there is less route options. If you drive in the city it looked like Waze will get you there a bit quicker at the expense of making more turns. I haven't compared them and I'm comfortable with Google maps and I'm ok with a slightly longer but simpler trip. With the above info in mind I have them both installed and if I'm pressed for time in the city I'll use Waze, but that doesn't happen much atm.

MaasaiWarrior Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I came here to write in Waze, I've been using it since I had my blackberry Z10 when it came out. It has saved me hours commuting to the big city and back, I use it on almost every trip even in my city. 08 Spec B, insta: @08_spec_b, 10 SH Forester insta: @shfozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
