Does anyone else use waze on their phone when traveling? I never

I used it a bit on a road trip in Australia but not as many people use it here so it's not as useful.

Fuck yeah Waze is awesome for avoiding getting speeding tickets and police in general. It really goes hand in hand with a good radar detector to help defend against instant-on radar and laser speed traps that your detector won't pick up until it's to late usually.

It's great for interstate driving. I prefer Google maps for city driving. People rarely mark cops in town and Google maps is just much better at searching addresses quickly. Sometimes on Waze it gets hung up on the search screen.

It's a good app, sometimes the cops aren't in the spots marked but it's only because the filthy pigs moved. The best part is how butthurt law enforcement is about waze, top kek

i have literally never heard of this app

I think he's saying they aren't marked accurately enough or often enough in the city.

I don't know how in US, but in Europe, Baltics Waze is really accurate and there are lot of people in community sharing info about traffic. I use it on daily basis, even if I know where to go - just to check for cops and traffic jams/accidents. In 2 years I`ve had just 2 times where Waze didn`t warn me about cops. Probably because they just parked or removed themselves from Waze.

I do 70km/h in city where 50 is allowed just because I can. Especially in night when streets are empty.

I use it before i go to work. Been pretty accurate and i drive 90 when im late to work. And after I pass a cop car that wazer marked i have confidence that i wont get busted.

itt: cops advertising app because they found a loophole

enjoy your tickets

I use it tons, it is very helpful but you have to consider population density and the road you're on. It's a risk reduction mechanism, not complete avoidance.

A radar detector is a great complement.

Use it to commute, turned it on this morning and it told me there was a wreck and routed me around it. All the other wagekeks in my office were late this morning.

That's another thing I love about it. On the way down to Florida, it routed us around traffic near the Washington DC area.

Once we got into Florida, we had to stop for a semi truck hauling new cars to a dealership that caught fire. Wasn't mentioned on Waze so I reported it. Was the first Waze user to come across it. Wish I'd taken a pic of that truck. The fire hit one of the fuel lines while we were right next to it.

The best cop spotting tool is your eyes. Look for brake lights, slow down when you see a car on the side of the road ahead.

How do waze users update the cop reports? Does it use voice commands or are there a bunch of numbskulls tapping away at their phones to report cops?

What are these geriatrics doing on 4chan?

You can do it both ways. On the way down to Florida, I did it by hand tapping away since there were 2 of us in the truck. One of us would drive and whoever wasn't driving would update the app. But there is an option for both functions.

When you come up to a cop report someone else put up, it will give you an option if he's still there or not. If he's not, tell the app and the warning will disappear.

I rarely ever turn on my Waze app unless I'm getting on the highway. My commute is mostly backroads with few places for cops to hide.
