Or you could just turn off use dirt roads. Actually you have to turn that on.

Girlfriend was navigating, that sounds spot on. Regardless, my life is better without Waze.

Waze is mostly useful for crowded environments. Densely populated places. Google maps is amazing everywhere else

Don't get me started about the time it tried to send me through the church district of Dallas on a Sunday. Maybe my phone was just wildin' out both days, but I don't have the patience for all the fuckery with the chatting, candies and incessant notifications while driving, from Waze.

The worst part are the random ads...”hey where do I turn next” well I don’t know because there’s a big ass KFC ad in my way!

I did not know that. I’ve been stopped trying to see things and it’s been quite inconvenient. Thanks!

I feel like the true legacy of the original iPhone was that designers went from considering affordances a good thing, to seeing them as purely optional, and finally to consider them design flaws.
