The other side of it is that it is Google and they are tracking you with your permission . It works well but is not 100% consider it about 95% on cop accuracy I bet you can't guess who owns and operates Waze? Since he just said who owns and operates it, I'm guessing he can. |

Great app. Just this weekend it warned me about an object in the road. Slowed down and paid extra attention. Sure enough, just a bit ahead, a big chunk of angle iron in the road. It's also saved me from hitting things (mainly shitty retread truck tires  ).Constantly warns me about retread pieces in the road on 85. Why do you people assume treads are retreads?

When they make you sign the ticket, you are instructed to press hard while signing since you are signing several copies of the ticket at once. I may or may not have been pulled over on one or more occasions.

I used Waze all the time on the commute home. I like that it will update your route while in use to adjust for changing traffic. Since I'm paranoid, I disable the tracking when not in use (or because it eats my battery). |

I don't but I live in an area with little traffic.
My brother swears by it (lives in NC, regularly travels to PA on I-95) and he recently introduced my mother to it (same AO) and she loves it. For getting around traffic congestion, it seems like a good idea. |

I don't use it in town but only when on the interstate.
On a trip to Tennessee a couple of weeks ago, it let me know of every cop that I passed and several objects on the highway. It's a battery hog if not plugged in but a good app to have on the highway. |

All the time, and I tell all the guys I work with about it too. It's a lifesaver from traffic. The GPS systems in our trucks are shit and don't have traffic integrated, so it can literally save hours/week in driving.
Of course, knowing where speed traps and red light cameras are helps a lot. The rest of the functionality is great too. Last weekend I used it to avoid probably an extra hour in a 2 hour drive out of Chicago for the 4th. |
