Switched to Waze from Google Maps for about 4 months until I finally confirmed that Waze is far more inferior. It doesn't have the capacity for reliable road updates. Had to drive an extra 25 kilometers because Waze did not register that there are multiple road closures in a given route. And With gas prices staying high, not driving those extra kms are crucial for saving gas. only upside I can see is that you get customization options for the voice guide, which, even that, needs some work.

Hi there. Road closures appear after multiple reports. If a closure is missing, report it in the app: https://tinyurl.com/pd7su7dx. Also, Waze calculates routes based on the fastest travel time, which isn't always the shortest distance. View alternates: https://tinyurl.com/3nhbkbym. Let us know here: https://tinyurl.com/mrx77ukz if you need help.

Waze is an outstanding app. I think it's down to preference whether you prefer it over Google Maps. It's better at finding the exact location. For example, when going to Terminal 4 Premier Inn at Heathrow, Google got me as far as the road outside, which was a dual carriageway one way system circling the building. Waze drove me into the car park. The downside of Waze is it's tendency to take the fastest route over the easiest route which can send you down the back streets a bit.

This has never been a problem before, but WAZE now refuses to play through my phone's speaker, even though this option is set properly. If there is any Bluetooth connection through an earbud, headset, or your car, it will only play the directions through that device now unless you disable that Bluetooth. At first i thought it was my phone, but clearly, something happened with an update because I've talked to several people who regularly use WAZE and it's doing it to them, too. Please fix!
