Doesn't Google own Waze[1]?
I'm surprised that you find Google Maps superior after the Waze acquisition; you'd think both products would be approaching a feature-equilibrium by now.

- nilkn 12y agoYep, they do. I prefer Google Maps simply because it's simpler and I ultimately found that the additional features of Waze weren't worth the complexity. I believe Google uses the crowdsourced Waze data in various ways, e.g., for their traffic maps, but I'm not sure of a source for that.
- philsnow 12y agoI just got (on Android) a Waze push notification saying that I could add Waze integration to my (iOS) notification center. I was very confused, even despite the handy animation they showed me (I apparently can't recognize the iOS notification center on sight, so thought it was showing me something on Android that I'd never seen before).
