Know what's ahead on the road with the help from other drivers. Waze is a live map that harnesses the local knowledge of tens of millions of drivers around the world. Drivers safely and confidently reach their everyday destinations thanks to Waze map’s GPS navigation, live traffic updates, real-time safety alerts (including roadworks, accidents, crashes, police, potholes and more) and accurate ETAs.
Make your next drive more predictable and stress-free:

• Even if you know the way, avoid surprises on the road ahead with safety alerts for accidents, crashes, roadworks, objects on the road, potholes, speed bumps, sharp curves, bad weather, emergency vehicles, railway crossings and more
• Steer clear of tickets by knowing where police and red light and speed cameras are located
• Share what’s happening on the road with other drivers by reporting live incidents and hazards
• Stay informed of upcoming speed limit changes, and keep your speedometer in check
• Know which lane to be in with multi-lane guidance
• See toll pricing and choose to avoid tolls along your routes
• Add road passes and vignettes for HOV lanes and restricted traffic zones
• Find petrol/fuel stations and prices and EV charging stations along your route
• Locate car parks near your destination
• Use voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation from a variety of languages, local accents and your favourite celebrities
• Plan your next drive by checking ETAs by future departure or arrival times

It has saved me countless times navigating unknown territories. However, I wish it had an option for you to change the road or route because at times there are road blocks by police or even an accident and alternative routes may be possible but Waze continues to send you back on the same path that you are trying to navigate from. If an option is there that allows you to say a road/path is blocked or not open, and Waze can provide alternative routes to your destination of choice, then it would be an almost perfect app.
Developer Response
Hey there, thanks for your suggestion to make reporting and avoiding road blocks more accessible. Our map is updated by volunteer map editors based on information from users. If you reach a closed road that isn't on the map, you can report it in the app: https://tinyurl.com/pd7su7dx . Still need help? Let us know: https://tinyurl.com/mrx77ukz .
Love it...except I can't verify my account

I rave about this app in The Bahamas, but the only thing I don't like is I can't verify my account with my cell number. I use it with/through my Facebook account, but without the phone verification I can't use some features. I still recommend it to everyone I know.
