Waze Navigation & Live Traffic

by Waze Inc.
FREE in the App Store

Avoid traffic jams, update others on construction or accidents, and more. Waze does all of that, plus helps you find places with Foursquare integration and more.

Inform others. Let Wazers know when an accident, road closure, or other issue arises.

Check the map. Zoom in to view popular locations and tap when you see a hazard.

Planned drives. Add a planned drive and the app will notify you when it is time to leave.

What is it about?

Waze is a pretty impressive app. You may plan to leave for an appointment based on how long it normally takes you. But, if there is a traffic incident or closure that will lengthen your average drive-time, it is beyond helpful to know that. Waze has you covered.

For those who...

  • Travel regularly
  • Need real-time traffic details

Not for those who...

  • Never leave the house
  • Use public transportation

Why we love it

For community-based reports, real-time traffic conditions, and reminders for what time you need to leave for an appointment, Waze is a terrific tool.
