Just found Waze and love it, best feature is speedo on screen and warning you when going over limit

This video should be titled “what Waze is capable of”. Although it was very well done, it did not show me “how to use Waze” which is what it appeared it would do..

Don't really know so far what everyone is complaining about. I've had zero issues using it so far and it's really an easy interface to use. I switch back and forth from time to time with the apps but for the most part Waze is great in the city.

Thx Before iOS 15 Waze used to announce the favorite name which was a big hit with the kids when I had the favorite named after them and they would hear their name ,that no longer happens since iOS 15 Also sometimes when a direction is announced the radio gets disabled

Kind of forgot to mention a feature that differentiates it from Google Maps.... the map is maintained via crowdsourcing by local volunteers which makes it more accurate than Google Maps at times. Another feature is that Waze has something called Waze Beacons which is found in several areas that allows for navigation within tunnels.

i like to see a photo of the street before once i select a destination which G maps can do but waze does not have this feature.

Super cool 😎 😊

The best navigation app ever

As others have said, this only list features, not how to do anything. You need to address a couple of "features": how best to control the volume, which in iOS goes up and down; and how to get rid of the WORK location which takes up precious screen space for those who work from home.

I've used Waze for years and it was great. I gues somewhere along the line one of the updates rendered the program useless on my phone. I get the error, "Something went wrong. Error calculating route." Yes, I've done the following "fix" actions to no avail: - Turned off WiFi - Uninstalled/reinstalled both Android Auto and Waze apps So, I am just going to use a competitor's program that actually works. Thanks anywaze.

The problem with ways is they cannot seem to give you enough notice before your turn comes up. Google Maps tells you in advance where you need to turn but Waze kind of waits to the last minute and then you're screwed sometimes.

I used this app everyday. Haven't had had a ticket in 6 years.

Is there a way of picking a GPS coordinate on Waze the way it is done on Google maps simply by long pressing on the map? If there isn't, I would propose the feature is included. There are times that we need to pick coordinates on the map for other applications.

Interesting video, thanks. I’m curious to know if Waze also sends information to other users even when it is closed. Whenever I open it there always seem to be a lot of users locally, and while I imagine that some of them will be using the app, it seems unlikely that they would ALL be using the app! I should add that I don’t have any problem with the app showing my position; it’s anonymous enough plus it is supposed to be helping other drivers, but it would be nice to know. I really like the app. It’s easy to use although I have noticed that it often gives different destinations to Apple Maps - I don’t know which is more accurate - so I sometimes use that instead of Waze. But it does seem to me that it eats through your battery very quickly.

Is there a way of overlaying a satelite image on Waze? That would be helpful because Waze pics only points along main roads. For a point that is a bit offroad, its a bit tricky to exactly pin point the feature or object. So if Waze could have the option of overlaying a satelite image that would help.

Hello, is it possible in Waze that you can somewhere select that you don't want that Waze choose small roads as were only one car can pass? We have regular the problem when we are on the way with our camper that Waze let our drive via small roads and that give regular problems with cars coming from other direction than. Thx for the reactions.

Try and pre plan a drive for a later date from a different start point and destination from where you currently are. It as a complete disaster. Say you have to pick up someone from an Airport and drop them to a hotel, include two different stops. I can't see how it is done

Does waze have a smart mode or learning mode? when I drive to work it always wants me to make a turn that you cannot make and instead of realizing it and modifying the directions it suggests the same impossible turn everyday

I mount my phone on the holder in landscape orientation. Gives a much better view than the portrait view..

Does WAze allow you to see step by step directions like Google maps? I cannot find it

Is Waze supposed to work wirelessly without plugging into the usb when you have apple CarPlay? I have a 21 crosstrek limited with car play but it doesn’t work wirelessly, want to get rid of the cord and use a charging pad, does everyone have to use a cord with Waze?

hi bro, how can I link the location from the mobile waze app to my car navigation system ? for car and mobile I uses WAZE only. When some location comes in WhatsApp, I am not able to link that to my car android navigation system. Is there any technique to link that ?

Does this app have accurate lane guidance?

I'm in Australia and use Waze with Android Auto because of the speedo. In my car, my phone connects via wifi and Bluetooth, all is good. But - when I ask for a destination (like a supermarket in a suburb), I get around ten unwanted options, including churches and MacDonalds that are not in the nominated suburb, and usually, the supermarket in the nominated suburb is NOT on the list! Even Seaworld was the tenth option when we were going there. Google maps works fine - but not Waze with AA. Waze shows the one location on my phone in the lounge room, but in the car with AA, it's a let down. Does anyone have ideas? TIA!!

Is there hands free capability through voice commands? Thanks.

Is there a way of saving a route in waze which one can use offline

When I was using Waze another wazer honked at me but would not allow me to honk back. Any ideas?

Is it possible to mark hazards that aren't where your car is? When I drive past things.

find it dont reroute when driving just heads in to the traffic ,and still find the TomTom Traffic way better never lets me down

🌹!

Facebook no longer available on Waze so how do you connect and locate friends on Waze? An update tutorial on Waze for iPhone will be very useful…

How do you turn it off? I see no button or other trigger that will let me turn it off. How about an OFF button?

Waze needs a data update. I tried to plan a trip and couldn't find half my hotels.

How do I add on lane guidance on Waze?

Unfortunately has just very basic functionality using Android Auto in Australia, which disables the native touch screen in my Mazda. For safety reasons say the sage heads at Mazda...😒

Is it possible to stop the pop up ads that occasionally appear on the screen? They are dangerously distracting.

It would be helpful to have a road app. Include for kids games like I spy, and car identifying games, along with hazard identifying for rewards as a way to train AI, and tech kids to identify road hazards.

it would be great if it had vehicle type and weight so it could prevent you going down roads unsuitable for specific vehicles, for example low bridges

Do you need internet to use Waze?

When was the last time WAZE worked? I can't find a single app that works with diesel fuel. Not a single one.

This was more of a review rather than a "How To"

How to hide disturbing purple bubble road name.

Too much clutter on waze,the constant advertising is distracting and many times leads to confusing dead ends.Does not give you options on which route to take and cannot preview route. I do find it useful at times but looking for something better.

My van doesn't use "gas" it runs on diesel, and what about petrol? I don't know anybody who has a gas vehicle.

It annoys me when using waze.. mainly because i dont understand what the hell is happening on the app... To me google map is more simple and direct... Waze is too complicated, i just wanted to see the road ahead of time but don't know where to click.. often it saved as future travel while i just wanted to see the road and tolls.. just that.. and it was hectic because i stayed at location A, but wanted to see route between location B and C.. but don't know where the hell i can see that... Too many features...

Seems like half of KZfaq is British these days. I guess they have a lot to say. America still hasn't adopted metric which is annoying but it is what it is.

Nope sorry both Google maps and Waze directional function are very poor and if I were to use these apps without question then my journey would be 10 miles longer each way, 20 miles per work day, 100 miles per week, 4800 miles per year. And of course traffic alerts Re only useful if you actually driving on those roads Waze thinks you are going to use. My car navigation maps allow you to set routes. The route I have chose is perfect, off the beaten track, I can actually enjoy my drive because the is NO traffic. The very aim of this app.

The person who produced this obviously does not understand the meaning of words. This video does not show you how to use anything, all it does is tell you what it can do. There is a difference.

Never opens up

Dont bloody work mate

No “how to” included in this “how to” video.

The narrator in this video is mumbling and difficult to hear. He's trying to be cool with his British accent and loosing the audience at the same time.
