Waze can take you to holland as well. Lately I was facing some weird directions.

Eg. 1. Wanting to go kelana jaya LRT station. I'm on Jln Majlis, suppose to turn left on LDP, crazy Waze told me to turn right.

Eg. 2. Wanting to go Puchong from KL. I took Mex, Waze told me to exit at Putra Jaya instead of Bukit Jalil. When I exited and waited at the Sri petaling traffic light to u-turn into Kesas, Waze still tells me to go straight and turn towards the city, into NPE.

Just type in the coordinates? Like how exactly?
How many years have you been using Waze?

Take a look how Waze takes a much longer totally unnecessary route as compare to google map.

Destination - LRT Station Kelana Jaya
It is so close to LDP, only need to turn left on LDP to arrive at destination and yet it ask to turn right on Jalan SS4A/1 to somewhere then join back with LDP

For example:
101.714658, 3.156789 (i google map klcc and got this)

Must key in the 101 coordinate first. If the other way round, you will get some 10,000km away location.

you try and key in and see

Whoops... guess with the latest update they decided to follow Google Maps' coordinates. My bad.

It's has been liddis since day one. I think you are confused already. Google way is the normal way, Waze is terbalik.

Try switching the two sets of numbers for Waze

I remember experiencing this problem (earlier this year), that's why I remember the 101 would come first. Unless either Google or Waze changed the format.

Or user problem blush.gif

I hate how Waze's "sleep" button works now. Previously, turn off means turn off. Why in the world do i want it to sleep? If wrongly press, it will be awake draining my battery
