Interesting. This doesn't seem like a good fit for me: Apple really just needs better data, yet the accuracy is even worse for Waze than Apple's maps. Plus, most of their product would probably never make it into iOS -- I can't see Apple letting users report police locations, messaging other cars or collecting items.
(Side note: just last month, Apple was reportedly in talks with FourSquare: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324907204578186074223787936.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732490720457818...)
- sisk 14y agoI have had wonderful accuracy with Waze. In fact, the one instance where I had an issue (was told to turn left on a no left turn), I reported it (a well exposed feature in the app) and it was fixed by the next time I drove by. I think that's the real win with Waze as far as mapping goes (the realtime traffic awareness is the number one feature over all): it's crowd sourced so problems can be reported and will be fixed by community map editors (similar to the Wikipedia model).
