I use waze for any road trips I take and it's worked great. It probably saved me today too by calling out police ahead as I was about to overtake a car. There's a lot of flexibility in the map display and it doesn't use much data either.

For strictly driving, Waze is great, but if you're in a big city and use public transport then Google Maps still is the app to use.

I combine waze with my valentine 1 and the app YaV1 for a perfect suite of protection

I use Waze occasionally but I generally prefer Google Maps because of its better presentation of route options before and during the trip.

I was on the road Saturday and amazed at how many other Wazer's were in my vicinity.

I'm a user. Been one for a while. It can be very handy, but sometimes the routing is very strange.

Lots of people used this on MTTS 2014, seemed to be very popular for the big MINI meets going coast to coast.

I use it going state to state. My experience using it in town has not been the best. Probably just me.

I use it and am a top 1% user here in the DC area. It's a must have in my opinion especially in an area with lots of congestion. I don't always trust the routes, but 9 times out of 10 it is dead on advising a better commute for me. It has saved me from countless laser checkpoints, and my V1 does just fine for RADAR even when moving and when Waze doesn't pick it up obviously. Love Waze...the more people that use it the better.

Love it. Use it every day. I find it spot on on using the crowd sourced info to accurately reroute. And the police function ! Wow.
1 thing I wish users were able to load pre selected hazards to the map screen maybe limit it to 2 or 3. For instance a little icon. For. Police on this side. Or pot hole on this side. So the user doesn't have to click 4 buttons.

I could have sworn that's one of the new things they added in the big 4.0 release. You can hold down the report button on the map and then three options pop up for quicker reporting. Still not a one-tap solution but a little faster.

Is there a manual anywhere? I have no idea what it means when I'm driving and get this blue halo around my vehicle.
