Have they really done that though?
- twblalock 11y agoI don't have Waze installed on my phone, and I get alerts in Google Maps that are labeled as coming from Waze, so there is at least some integration.
- Disruptive_Dave 11y agoAt least some. I get alerts from Waze and some of its functionality right in G Maps.
- harel 11y agoJam detection is much better in Google maps now.
- jegutman 11y agoBut I can't get "waze" directions in google maps (where it has me taking awesomely crazy routes). I also don't get notifications about cars on the side of the road which can be quite useful in certain areas.
- harel 11y agoThe flip side is that (at least in Israel) Google Maps is not taking you through neighbourhoods and such where you really really do not want to be driving through. The IDF has (or had - not sure how current that is) an instruction not to use waze for soldiers in certain areas. On a couple visits to Israel I used Waze because everyone did. Every single ride I was taken through "crazy" routes that wasted my time. Every 5 minutes i got an ad showing me a small discount for something I don't need if I detour 5 or 20 minutes off my route. I don't get that with Google maps.
