Been using it for years too and love it
Remember the cops and accidents on that app don't report themselves.. report them when you see them

you can set north in the settings, it drove me mental for a while. Waze is good, but everytime i use it i put like 40 extra miles on my commute. I check how things are going on ocean parkway and make a B line it all the way down to the meadowbrook from the robertmoses. What traffic?

only problem with that route is it makes my 30 mile trip an 80 mile trip. somehow the longer route is faster.....




oh and the reason i stopped using waze was because i'd never remember to set it to invisible. too easy for someone to watch your routine and plan a robbery. if they made it a default setting, i'd use it everyday.

for reason stated above.. I never turn it on or off at my house, always wait until im on the road already so no one knows where i live.

hmm, i get that and all but how would thieves know what kind of car you have? unless they already knew you and would be waiting for you in which case waze is useless for them.

when it shows the little icons of waze users while driving, if you saw the same person enough times you could figure out which car was which user

been using it the past 2 days, what a great app indeed! i like that it delays you from being on the map for a minute after you start moving. I think this will be useful for when we go cruising
