I find the Waze experience on Carplay to be far superior to Gmaps. I prefer how it provides access to the key features like reporting/voice prompt, the size/position/color how things are displayed, etc. The level of detail (surrounding streets and landmarks) is more useful on Waze.
My experience has been that Waze seems to have better traffic prediction and avoidance in the areas I use it. Just last night I was following a cow orker from the plant we were working at to a restaurant about 30 mins away. We were right behind each other when my Waze suggested taking the exit and following a different route than my friend. I arrived at the restaurant a good 5 minutes before him, I asked, and he was using gmaps.
- yreg 4y agoFrom my experience Waze always optimized for getting to the destination as fast as possible, which I really liked. Other navigations like to keep instructions simple and keep you on the large roads, Waze has no problem routing you through 10 extra instructions to save a minute. Disclaimer: I haven't used Waze in years so this might have changed.
