Waze for me.. Because of the interface easy to use.. And also I'm accustomed to its routing pattern

For me i used google maps due to i can do a lot of customization.

And google advantage is their offer walking, driving, biking, and public transportation directions .

Other than that in google maps i can differentiate between main road/highway and jalan taman easily due to google user interface color for maps. Because during navigation i used to count simpang jalan.

I prefer Google maps. Somehow I find it easier to follow compared to Waze. Furthermore it gives alternative routes whereas Waze only recommends a single route.

HERE Wego or previously Nokia Map used to be superior to Google maps except for search function. Now, Google maps is pretty good.

Waze usually gives 3 routes, with and without toll routes.

I prefer Waze. Tried Google Maps before, not to say its bad but I just prefer Waze.

But sometimes when Waze cannot connect to GPS for whatever reason then I'll use Google Maps

for finding places , I prefer google maps, because the routes that show in the apps is more clearer,

Waze is when I need to check the traffic, and waze always help to avoid the traffic more effectively. but many times waze unable to connect to gps or server

Waze for navigation, if checking traffic conditions - usually Google Maps.

My bad! Haven't used Waze for so long that I forgot about this. Still prefer the way Google Map shows all routes on the screen at the same time so that I can choose the route to take visually. Just personal preference.

It is just which interface and feature you like. Google owns Waze. So, same map source.

Google Map tends to more accurate in predicting traffic jam in normal times.
