Give one example can't find in Waze but can find in maps.

i can name at least 10 in my area that waze's own map can't find. but if use google locations within waze's search then u can find them. the problem is, after u got the location, loading it to navigate takes so long i am already own the way there after i close waze and open google maps. not only loading navigation and calculating route in waze is slow, but EVERYTHING in it is. that's why i don't use waze for navi, only using Sygic and google maps now, these are super fast and quite accurate. the only thing that waze is good for is sharing traffic info and police traps.

in waze there are 4 search engines - bing, foursquae, google, and waze
i type "one utama" in waze, it doesn't give me anything interesting in waze search, then click on "google search" it gives me specific shops in one utama like "TheClick Shop", which the point it gets me there.

in google maps:
i type "one utama" it gives me a direct hit "1 Utama Shopping Complex". So Click on that and u on your way.

So,
1. Agreed waze is a bit slow in initiating the navigation, but not of a big deal
2. Waze still gets the searching job done, but a few more extra clicks sometimes (but most of the time its direct hit)
3. Waze still have other values that is a big pull - traffic update, fastest path by avoiding traffic jams, fun!, tracking your spouse (i know exactly when she will pull up to the house!).

so that's YOU who are blocking the traffic that day! i thought it was some guy who fell asleep at the lights...
