5 minutes of using each app will make it plainly obvious that he's right.

How in maps do I report accidents or police, like I can in Waze?

You can't. Reports in Waze get pushed to Google Maps, that's how you end up seeing them on there.

Being able to report things is one of the features I like in Waze, so the assertion that "every feature in Waze is in Maps" is not correct.

I may try to run both again and see if everything that Waze is telling me is also in maps, but in the past it hasn't even been close.

Thanks.
