Waze is a free GPS navigation app from Waze, a Google company. It runs on Android and iOS and works with Android Auto and CarPlay. Its official site is waze.com.
Waze is built around drivers helping each other. When someone reports a crash, a stalled car or a traffic jam, other drivers on the same road see it on their map and the app can suggest a faster route.
What makes Waze useful?
- Live traffic and rerouting: Waze keeps checking conditions and changes your route if a quicker one appears.
- Community reports: Drivers report accidents, hazards, road closures and police with a couple of taps.
- Arrival times and sharing: See an estimated arrival time and share your trip so others know when you’ll get there.
- In the car: Use Waze on your car’s screen through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
- Voices and music: Choose a navigation voice and control supported music apps from inside Waze.
How to download and install
- The Download button opens the official download page on waze.com; you can also go straight to Google Play or the App Store.
- Allow location access, then type where you want to go.
- Optionally sign in to save your Home and Work addresses and favorite places.
Safety and report coverage
Avoid typing reports while driving; Waze supports voice commands, or a passenger can do it. Reports depend on other users, so they are most detailed in busy areas.
Pros
- Real-time reports from other drivers
- Automatic rerouting around traffic
