I tried out Waze for some trips in the last few months after hearing all the hoopla about it, and honestly I don't see why people like it. It's kinda cutesy, I'll admit, but the only useful feature it has is that users can inform each other about speed traps. Aside from that, it's really kind of a PITA to use, and also it doesn't seem to do any kind of re-routing for slow traffic or have any indication that you can take alternate routes and how that will affect your travel time. On Google Maps, there's frequently places where it'll show you alternate routes in gray, and how they'll affect your time ("3 minutes slower"). Waze doesn't have that at all. I was really disappointed, so I just went back to Google Maps.
