I wish Waze would tell me less things. It is getting to the point that it's issuing warnings every 1/4 of a mile. Car stopped, object in road, railroad crossing, etc. I like using Waze for navigation, but I know keep the sound off

In a weird way I've never considered NYC to rank highly on the "walkable" scale. There are too many other people out walking, and too many cross streets where you are constantly waiting to cross. IMO, "walkable city&quot
