A few friends use it, and it seem quite helpful sometimes with traffic reports. What say you, oppo people?

I just realized I had unlimited data. Gotta give Waze a try!

I use it all the time. The only problem is that it doesn't always know when freeway entrances/exits are closed. I think it is most helpful when you know where you're going and are just trying to find the fastest way to get there.

Yeah that probably is its best use. I think google bought them out though, so maybe it will become fused with google's map services.

Expressways as well. That information is available on the (depending on location) DOT's website, but not on Google Maps...

I've been unsung it for a few years now. I swear by it. Works well in urban areas, and it's getting better in rural areas.

I used it before I started taking the bus. Pretty useful unless it distracts you while driving, the upside of which is that you can report your own accident while it happens.

LOL i totally was thinking about that scenario. It's best used with a passenger, or at least having a mount for your phone which I need to get

I find Waze good for two reasons:

1. It's a very accurate navigation app with cool features like cop spotting and accident reports.

2. You can have Kevin Hart give you directions.

I love Waze, I only have 2GB of data a month and use it everyday and for my trip last week from ohio to florida nd back and it doesn't use that much data. I enjoy it. it really helps for traffic, cops and an eta of your arrival.

It's a clever too. I also like how people can report speed traps. Google bought them and are integrating some functionality into Google Maps.

I use it. Where I live there doesn't tend to be many people, but there's enough that reporting things helps others and they help you back sometimes. When I go to Birmingham or Atlanta though... it's great.
