• Lacks terrain, satellite, or 3D map imagery
• No true offline options

Ride Together, Share the Wealth

Waze – GPS, Maps, Traffic Alerts & Live Navigation Mod Apk is straightforward and simple, featuring just a few on-screen buttons. One button re-centres the app on your current location, becoming a speedometer when it locks onto you.

Next to that is a button that takes you to the “Car Info” menu, a place where you set the type of vehicle you’re driving. This changes the routes the app gives you. Your options are Private, Electric, Taxi, and Motorcycle, and each category is nicely tailored to the needs of the vehicle type.

For example, Car Info highlights taxi-only parking lots and potential charging spots for electric vehicles. You can also change your preferred gas type or set the app to avoid tolls and HOV lanes.

There’s a cool carpool option available as a sidestep to Uber or Lyft. You can choose whether you drive or ride. As a driver, you control matters using the Waze – GPS, Maps, Traffic Alerts & Live Navigation v4.100.90.901 Mod Apk itself, picking up extra passengers heading your way who share the cost of gas and tolls.

As a passenger, you must download a different app: Waze Carpool. Riders pay directly through the app, which takes care of calculating gas, mileage, and tolls. Waze brands this an eco-friendly option, a way to rideshare in a more personal manner.

Let’s Go

The big, shiny “Go” button is where most of Waze’s active lives. Once it’s tapped, you can choose where you want to go today or set up future trips.

You can search for specific buildings or addresses, which quickly bring up pertinent details, such as distance, business hours, and nearby parking. If you hit the “Go” button again, you’re taken to the route selection screen, which gives you the fastest route and points out any traffic on that route.

There are buttons that let you add a stop along your route, or find any gas stations, restaurants, or parking along the way. Tap the gas station button, for example, and you see a list of stations and their gas prices.

Hit the parking button, and you’ll be given any nearby parking and the distance you have to walk from that location to your destination. In terms of driving, Waze makes it fast and easy to get on the road, more so than Apple Maps or Google Maps.

Once you’ve dialled in your route, a number of other options appear on the app. The big, orange report button is key to Waze’s operation, letting you instantly report any traffic, accidents, or closures to fellow Waze – GPS, Maps, Traffic Alerts & Live Navigation v4.100.90.901 Mod Apk.

The app’s social model encourages people to report any issues along their routes, making it easier for Waze to give everyone better directions. You can see the avatars of nearby Wazers, which serves as a handy reminder that many people are on the same road as you.

Waze remembers your recent searches, but it’s well-suited to frequent commuters. You can save home and work locations, add favourites, or set certain planned routes as events. With the latter option, the app send notifications for when you need to leave to get there on time.

Road Kill

Problems emerge between opening the app and starting a trip, though. Waze is built to take you from your current location to a destination.

Selecting a different starting point is more difficult; you must search for that other starting point, dive into a contextual menu from that search result, click “set as a start point,” click the new starting point and then search for your destination. That’s far more annoying than Apple Maps and Google Maps’ streamlined location selection process.

Waze Mod Apk web-based Livemap makes it easier to change your starting point, but the process still isn’t ideal. In fact, the company expects you to search trips on Livemap and transfer them to the app. Waze also lacks terrain, satellite, and 3D maps.

Similar to Apple Maps, Waze doesn’t let you save maps or routes offline. The option that best resembles that is to start a trip and then go offline. Unfortunately, you’re out of luck if you lose your connection before you start the drive.

This method is only for that single trip, and you’ll miss the detailed, real-time information that makes Waze unique. Google Maps, on the other hand, lets you save maps for offline use as long as your device has storage space, with the app offering turn-by-turn directions. On the upside, Waze saves routes as shortcuts.

Waze has a number of vocal options. There’s voiced turn-by-turn direction, and you can record your own voice within the app. There’s something keen about giving yourself directions, and you can share these voices with your friends.

Waze has voice commands for hands-free searching, as well. There’s a cool feature available for music lovers: Waze can connect to streaming music apps, such as Amazon Music, Pandora, or Spotify, so you can manually control your tunes while driving.

A Waze Down the RoadIn an era when apps try to be everything to everyone, Waze’s simplicity has its benefits. If you’re taking a daily driving route, or just want to get from where you are to a new location, Waze is great. It does what it needs to do, and not much else. These excellent Waze tips will help you get started with Waze in no time.

However, the competition offers more features. You may not need more than simply driving directions on most days, but when you do, Google Maps (our Editors’ Choice for navigation apps) or Apple Maps have you covered.

Even in terms of certain directional options, such as creating a route from a place other than your current location, Waze isn’t as simple to use as Apple and Google’s offerings. Still, frequent commuters will love the community, and Waze’s crowdsourcing means you’ll always have access to the best driving routes.

Conclusion

If you’re driving, Waze Mod Apk v4.108.0.1 is one of the easiest ways to get directions. Its routes are a cut above the competition’s, with a bustling community and real-time, crowdsourced traffic and accident reports. Unfortunately, it’s a pain to get directions from somewhere other than your current location.
