This is something quite new especially in Malaysia. And best of all, it's FREE. So, i'm sharing it with LOWYAT forumers. It works on most of the smart phone (Iphone/Blackberry/Android based) Its a free GPS navigation (something like malsingmap?) but needs input from the community to perfect it. You can contribute your POI, buildings, food outlets, speedtrap, etc.





As you drive/walk/ride, the navigation records down your movement/ your speed etc/ your current location. So, you will know the latest traffic/roadblack etc.







Head to www.waze.com for more. The 'Guided Tour' will provide more info that you need about the whole thing. To download it (m.waze.com)

kthxbye

looks like a good apps

Used it before, unless there's more people in Malaysia using it, I don't see how it'll work.

Besides, the need of having your data turned on is an obstacle on how popular this app will be.

roads in malaysia using Waze sucks.. I just use it to know traffic and police traps..

Trying it. Lets see if its good.

Already download but havent use it yet ...
Lol wasted my money buying papago

worth to try

The only downside - the application uses your data to run. Apart from that, its ok, but more input needed.

whats the bad thing about using data?

Erm...if you dont mind your internet quota kena makan like dat. Its okay lor~

got pros and cons. papago: big n nice screen, but bulky.
waze: installed into your smart phone.

Thanks will try soon.

It's still new in the market. Therefore it will take sometime. Unless they are demand from the community.

Had this app but removed because:-
1. its really bad in finding street address. Only seem to be able to find major buildings and dunno why keep giving me addresses outside Malaysia
2. Not designed for touchscreens, so a bit tough to handle on Storm series phones
3. The app is a huge 2MB. And that doesnt even include voice directions yet.
4. Speaking of voice directions, mine never worked (and I tried on two different BB phones)

Ovi Maps is still the best.

isit better than google maps?

can install on symbian s60?

apparently its not available in Malaysia. I'm talking about the GPS navigation, unless if you use cracked, brut google map (only for android), not for blackberry. Sigh

real man have built in gps in their head

kinda obvious but not sure if malsingmap fella and malfree fella knew bout this but maybe u could try promoting in that forum too as they have quite a few hardcore mapper there. They dnt make Garmin xt anymore hopefully sumthing free like this will be standard in the future. Think bout it,this gps sw can make money through ads.
