I really enjoy it and wish Apple would have done something with it for maps. For those unaware, Waze is a maps application that relies on crowd-sourcing for it's data. You can pin the map with things like photo-radar, accidents, traffic flow etc. and the system will alert other motorists.
Pros:
- When it works, it works great. I find it's much faster than google or Maps for alerting me of traffic back-ups
- If a road doesn't exist on the map, you can go into a mode, drive regularly, and it will be sent off to Waze for review and addition.
- I reported an error on the map, and was responded to within a day with a notice of it being fixed
Cons:
- If heavy traffic is reported, sometimes it has a tough time figuring out when the traffic has lessened. I've been rerouted off Macleod trail by 1 block before, only to look over and see no problems whatsoever.
- It's just not that attractive in comparison to Maps or Google Maps imo.
