I like it because I drive a lot on unsealed roads, and Google Maps doesn't want to help me find a fast route that involves gravel, whereas Waze has an option to allow that. Waze doesn't seem to be aware of fords, but then, I wouldn't expect it to be. I also like that I can tell Waze "I ain't afraid of tricky intersections", and that it's happy to take side-roads if it'll get you there slightly faster, which Google Maps prefers not to do.
