Has Google done anything with Waze other than buy it, or with Google Maps, incorporating some Waze treats? Haven't seen any noteworthy changes to either Waze or Google Maps that one might have (optimistically) expected as becoming both feasible and worthwhile from the deal.
- Scaevolus 13y agoYes, Google Maps now includes realtime traffic updates based on the Waze app.

- snarf 13y agoI'd be really surprised if they do a whole lot with it. My impressions was that the main reason they bought Waze was to keep Facebook from acquiring it.
- eliben 13y agoYour comment looks really silly in light of the two directly above it.
- jedberg 13y agoIf you hover over accidents in Google Maps, sometimes it says "reported by Waze". I assume there is lots of data mixing happening on the backend that we can't see.
- mjcohen 13y agoWhen is Google Maps going to restore "Save as Contact"? I keep my old Galaxy Nexus around so I can use Maps 6. The new Maps is a definite downgrade.
