I've tried WAZE a little in the past. While a nice concept, it doesn't always given reliable routes or ideal results.

I just downloaded it on my phone and asked it for directions to Summerbrooke Golf Course right now from my house. It gave me 3 route options, all of which take me on I-10. All options are around 18 miles and take an estimated 40 minutes. Primary route with Google Navigation calculated 12 miles from my house and estimated 29 minutes.

While it may work for a free option, it isn't up to par with Google Navigation in my experience.

Fair enough.
I'll give Google Nav a try.

But I do LOVE the way Waze tells you where Cops, Heavy Traffic, and Accidents are vs. simply telling you where to go.

It's definitely nice. Google Nav shows you where traffic is as well. It also re-routes on the fly and does a good job. You can select your route by different options (i.e shortest distance, shortest time, no tolls, etc).

Waze seems like it's got a lot of promise. If I were a betting man, I'd guess they got bought out by Google, Microsoft, or Apple. Apple would make a lot of sense, as that's what they did with Siri. Buying Waze would give them an option to have a build-in navigation app.

Did something similar for me, Desi. From downtown to my home off Miccosukee. Had me going down Tennessee, then turning left on Magnolia (past Miccosukee), through some neighborhood off Centerville only to pop back out on Miccosukee. Weird/dumb.

Don't need to buy a GPS App if going with iphone or Droid. Waze is free, detailed, and completely interactive. FTR, I have a Samsung Exhibit II (Droid)and love it. I've read it's a basic smart phone, but it is beyond basic (at least to me). It does everything I could want. This post was edited on 3/9 3:09 PM by RycheNNole 3/9 2:46 PM | IP: Logged
