About
Community-based Traffic and Navigation App
Waze is a community-driven navigation app that uses real-time data from its users to provide the best route to drivers' destination. It takes into account accidents, traffic jams, speed traps, construction, and other obstacles that could slow drivers down. Waze also allows drivers to report hazards and road closures, and to see where other users are on the road.
Waze is a subsidiary of Google.
