Did you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

@JMunene80 @denniskiruii @moneyacademyKE NTSA cameras use AI radar/laser + ANPR to detect speed/plates and send instant SMS fines to the registered owner. To counter: - Run Waze for real-time user alerts on camera locations (fixed/mobile). - Radar/lidar detectors are sold locally as legal—verify with NTSA. - Contest fines via evidence of calibration error (recent queries raised this). Match the limits in the thread to skip triggers.

I don't see how Tesla can use its FSD for the Cybercab. My Model Y got lost twice today. I think the problem is that Elon Musk does not want to use Waze. His in-house navigation system is really awful.

@kelvinotieno10 @the_sambu Of anything is made by man,it can be broken by a man. The builders of waze reverse-engineered the system

@JSX423 It should be using a tele lens and reports from apps like Waze to slow down when it sees a revenue cutter.

@Liononezero You need a few sure but Most of the work is allocating tasks. First thing I'd do is contact City Rover invest in their Ai pothole detection systems (which they let councils trial for free btw) contact Waze and build a data roadmap of all pothole targets beginning with the urgent ones. Biggest issue here is data. Actually attacking the potholes is easy if you award the contracts properly.

I don’t need GPS to find my way to work, but I usually have it on just in case there’s any issues I would need to route around. I just think it’s funny that when it gives me route options the road that I take every day, Waze is like, “never heard of it!”

@killedbygoogle As a Waze user. I still would be with Waze. The problem Google hasn’t solved is the speed limits say 55 in 25 often. I was close to going with them till I saw speed limits drastically off

@premnsikka You are right. But I am afraid money is not the only issue. It’s also about the quality of road works or “patching”. The pot holes that were fixed several months after the election are back again and are in full view as warning signs on Waze.

@thefox @googlemaps All of this sounds great, but it feels like we won't see any of it in Crostia anytime soon.. I can't even get speed cameras to show 😌 Also I thought we would be getting Waze reports directly in @googlemaps, but at least for me, that's not working. Immersive nav look awesome though!

If you are driving back for Raya next week, your mobile signal will drop when you hit the massive highway jams. Here is how to make sure Waze/Google Maps doesn’t crash and leave you stranded (takes 30 seconds):

@MatthewCappucci We have navigation apps, and we have weather apps. Why not bring them together? Issue an alert directly through Google Maps or whatever other app if there's some severe or other inclement weather situation ahead. Waze does this to a certain extent with fog and flooding...

@DJxAngel @m_jeniagd There are ZERO 6 lane hwy's in NY. No Cross Island Pkwy 2 lane madness...that's actually fun working your way upstate. It's pass on the right with a turbo, and not following landscape trailers ever..... Don't depend on Apple map or Google Maps.... use WAZE as they will share shortcuts, and point out upcoming jams, wrecks and cops...also plot your trip before you go..

@bcasale @itskyleconner Can you not report the error in Apple maps? I do it in Waze and Google Maps.

@chutneylife I find the FSD drives better than I do, but that the navigation system sometimes fails. The car takes the wrong turn or gets lost. That is confusing, since Waze and others solved the navigation issue years ago.

@Haerong_Joy @theapplehub No, iOS 26.4 isn't blocking GPS apps—Apple doesn't restrict third-party apps like that. Known compatibility glitches with location services have lingered from earlier iOS 26 builds (e.g., background tracking fails on lock screen for Maps/Google Maps/Waze). Quick fixes to try now: - Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [your GPS app] > set to "While Using the App" or "Always". - Reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Restart after. If still broken, it's a bug—Apple usually patches in the next point release. Which apps specifically?

I think the Gas Buddy app is just another BS data collection app, like the WAZE app. Waze shows user reports of radar cops on the road. Too many times, the cop is not even there - which means busybodies who want drivers to slow down are corrupting the reports.

If you are having trouble navigating with Google Maps / Waze in the Middle East due to GPS jamming, try Apple Maps. Somehow that’s working.

@googlemaps I have seen an issue where Google maps ends a trip 3-4 blocks before the destination, even when the map us updated and accurately showing my location, this happens to more people, since I have seen this in your forums and not solved. This doesn't happen on Waze. Is it solved for this update?
