Get me a waze _lite_ and I’m sold. But not current waze.

  Wade takes me from a to b in any country without effort and faster than any other. Wade it is. Yes the chat function is largely useless the report incident function is cool!

    > faster than any other Are you sure? Someone just did an interesting analysis (admittedly, very small data space but a long-term test), found that Waze claims faster routes than they typically achieve. Update: Ah, @dogecoinbase linked to it: https://arturrr.com/2018/02/19/navigation-apps/ https://arturrr.com/2018/02/19/navigation-apps/

      I am here providing an anecdotal story. Zurich Switzerland -> Austrian Alps Heavy traffic, incidents along the road, gridlock ...> Waze got us there FASTEST. "ATTENTION" "WAZE HAS JUST FOUND A FASTER ROUTE". Competed against iPhone & Google Maps. Same way return drive. ... So two data points I guess. Austrian Alps -> Zurich Plus ... I use it daily... So three data points then.

        It's entirely possible you're right, but I don't see how on any individual trip you can assert any solution achieved the best time, unless you have 3 different drivers to take each proposed route (and even then, there's enough variability to make it suspect unless you do it over a long enough period of time).
