I learned about Waze app from other members on Forum. I did not see any threads so thought I would share and see if I learn more.
I downloaded Waze a month ago and have been trying it in my small town.
Waze is a navigation app that can also be used to mark road hazards and where Police are pulled over. The users mark these items as they drive by so that others behind them are alerted.
I am likely the only one in my town using this but in bigger cities it works well with more users.
Benefits:
The speed limits for each road are marked and updated in real time.
You can set an alert, "for me" 10mph over speed limit. The light tone is helpful when unposted speeds change or you are one new to you roads.
Navigation is actually good. You have many voices to pick like my UK young lady. "Turn left .1 of a mile".
In heavily used areas, every car on the side of the interstate is marked and you are alerted a good bit ahead. At night this helps to avoid cars with no lights sitting on side of interstate or when objects are in the road. Tire tread.
You can also mark police location. Friday night coming home, I was alerted 1 mile out and sure enough he was on an old rest stop ramp with no lights on.
The program will also ask you to verify if the object still needs to be tagged or if it is clear, car moved. So as more people use, the data is more up to date.
I like the program. Works best with many users and bigger cities.
Try it and help out your fellow MK7 owners.
