Waze's product is dreadful, it looks like a kids game and the information is half way between a social network and a useful traffic information source. Contrast Waze with google's discreet color coded streets that show the same information and its clear why everyone loves google maps.
Mapping is an interesting area right now and Apple's poor performance in this area has opened a nice little market to fill useful maps for the average person, but Waze is not it. It would just be a waste of money for Apple to buy them.
- jmspring 14y agoFor Bay Area driving, Waze is very good for traffic conditions. That alone makes the app a winner for me. Their routing information has it's quirks. But, don't down play that "kids game...social network" aspect for actual driving info. Have you actually used it for day to day commuting? From a friend in Israel, it is even more useful and very much a loved app there.
