Hello Waze!

Same goes for Android carplay which is nice. A great benefit if you live in an area with above average cell service.

Android has been able to do that for a long time. Apple is finally coming around on it.

I am glad they are putting some effort into CarPlay. Now, I would like to access my Chamberlin Garage App from CarPlay.

WAZE is simply amazing

I adore Waze and don't go anywhere without it. It's my navigational american express card. We usually use it in lieu of Michaels' car navigation because much of the time Waze is just better.

I like waze because it at least downloads a fair amount of the map. So crappy 3rd world cell service, like Vermont, isn't as bad. Its annoyance is it can be horribly slow to figure out a route. I will say some of its work arounds, like traffic near the GW bridge, are amazing. Much to the chagrin of locals.

I go back and forth on Waze. I think it works better if you already have some local knowledge.

Yesterday it found a crazy route through Jersey City to the tunnel, but that was after it cost me a half hour because it committed to a Jersey route too early. I would have crossed the river at the TZB or even more north. Waze would work better for long routes if you could put in a preferred route and only leave that route of there was a long delay. That might make it work faster too because it would only need to solve the last 10 or 15 miles of a trip to the city.

It's amazing how many people use it around NYC. Traffic on the Sprain can be fast and crazy, with cars weaving around all the slow-in -the-passing-lane, and as soon as you hear "police reported ahead" it all calms down to the speed limit. You don't even need the app to know there's a cop. If the towns were really interested in keeping speeds down instead of revenue, they would fire the cops and just flood Waze with fake police reports.
