In both LA and SF it's pretty much already like that in my experience; LA especially it's traveled by word of mouth - probably because driver's are so desperate to escape the traffic hell.
However, I tend to favor Google Maps unless I'm anticipating significant traffic because Waze tends to pick "over-optimized routes" (i.e. 5 extra turns to save 30 seconds). Which is great when you're trying to escape traffic, annoying when you're just trying to get somewhere normally.
- ja27 13y agoI mostly use Waze to get a good ETA and watch for traffic and police when I'm going somewhere I already know the path to. If I'm going somewhere unfamiliar or not very popular, [TACO BELL AHEAD!] I don't trust it. I've been burned too many times when it sends me 10 minutes of of the way because [TACO BELL AHEAD!] the last intersection before my destination mistakenly doesn't allow a right hand turn. I've been kind of hoping they and FourSquare would get together somehow.
