I wasn't aware that Waze was "alternative" vs "traditional", nor do I know the difference. I suspect that almost no one does, if the categories exist.
I am specifically responding to a post that details that Google Maps reroutes. What is the difference between an "out of the box" reroute and a regular one? Danger?
- dbetteridge 3y agoWaze is more likely to use what transport engineers call "Rat runs" Diverting you via side streets and alternatives to highways when the major roads show congestion, roadworks or other issues. Google maps tends to prefer freeways/highways above all other options and its often a fight to get it to take an alternative, You have to toggle the 'avoid freeways' and then even sometimes enter waypoints to guarantee bypassing the motorway.
