Waze is extremely regional. I was among the first adopter and mappers here in Italy, and was involved with various misfortune with the local bureaucrats which locked all the dialogue and started making terrible, terrible decision for a mapping software: for example to save mappers time they decided not to map service roads nearby larger mains, except in places like Milan if you need to know when to get from the main into the service road since not all left turns from the main are legal and not always the service road can merge back into the main. As a direct result Waze was unusable in large Italian cities for the longest time, long enough that the gap in free turn to turn navigation that was once there got filled by google maps on ios and everyone forgotten about that experiment. They eventually conceded and started mapping all the details as needed by turn to turn navigation, but too little, too late.
