the only thing waze is good for is displaying speed traps reported by other users. Thanks to it, i saved 900 bucks going from KL to Penang last month.

other than that, it eats my battery like crazy.

WAZE should be outlawed until it is updated to work with ONLY voice command!!!!! This mofo app is making people to use hand held devices while driving!!!! so yes -- it should be BANNED immediately.

Same problem here. laugh.gif

I only will use Waze to go to major locations like shopping malls or my office or home.

Anyone using Lokatoo here? brows.gif

second that.

For me waze is good GPS tool, except for that problem & no junction view.
1 more thing is, which I face quite a few time is, the route should be able to just go straight but waze will pin point u to turn left into the small road & come back out to the main road.
Which is unnecessary as there is no traffic at all, & u thought it was actually route you through another road to destination.

Also another thing is, if u are facing a ring-road with overbridge ahead as well, the direction will be quite fark up.

All GPS can just be meant as a reference, can't be fully trusted on it.

yea, ban waze immediately.

google maps, apple maps, nokia maps, standalone gps device all tak pa

anyway, talking about this, i find that waze function of "cannot type during driving unless passenger" is even more dangerous. because when driver want to type something and that pop up came off, it actually takes away the driver attention more to bypass it by saying he is the passenger =.='

oh besides lack of junction view, another thing i hate about waze is the search function

1 ) i can't search a shop name of "sin lean heang" at certain states. let's say i am at kedah now, but i going penang, and want to search for that shop which is located at penang, i can't specifically search the shop at penang

2) waze will not search everything i type. it will search each part of the word and give me the result. what i mean is if let's say i search "sin lean heang" it will give me the result of any POI with the name of "sin" "lean" "heang" inside . hence, whatever shop name that is "hua sin", "leng heang" ect ect all will pop up

do u guys get what i mean? lol

for papago usually won't like that, but you need to be very specific with the name. if the name you key in is correct, but inside the map it's another name then you are gone.

hence i hope waze can let me search a POI of certain state, and then gives me the option to choose all words must be match when i search something
*
one thing good about garmin is u can search night market, pasar malam, and alot of option will appear
i cant see this in waze
waze dont even have favoure restaurant to choose for

but free what, what can do, waze is very very fast, map noned download, impressive

LoL... ya.
That is why now I'm not really fully follow waze, only use it as a reference.

Google map was ok, but sometimes it takes a bit of time to do re-routing, mine using much longer time to re-route than waze.

i am speechless show how noob some ppl are at least it warned you that you need to be stationery to set the navigation and drive not driving while setting like other gps allows you too.

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE PRESSING WHILE DRIVING. Your intelligence got trolled so badly by a gps software.

It only appear when it detects you are on the move if you are stationery it wont appear.

If tak ada is dangerous that the main cause of accident. Cant understand small brain ppl

you don't get my point at all.

what i mean is, yes, you are not supposed to press while driving. but what does that pop up help? it only cause the driver to focus more on the phone. initially the driver might only need to spend 5 seconds, but with that pop up, he will need to spend 10 seconds on it. will the driver stop pressing the phone when the pop up appear? No, he won't. he will bypass the pop up and fool the device and say he is the passenger so he can continue type.

so, what's the point of that pop up then?

The function of the location of the police should be taken out. Its very helpful to criminals to evade the police. For average joe, if you doing nothing wrong, you dont need that.

So Waze is a must have for criminals to avoid police block.

Come to think of it, those who report that there is a police block, were most likely doing it while driving... so police can use Waze to tangkap those who report laugh.gif

the best free GPS app. love live traffic report and the destination is more accurate than google. Google gave us 1KM radius to the exact location ..means we need to search the exact location on our own.
