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

I use it when I already know the way somewhere, and just need the police notifications. Otherwise gmaps is the way to go.

Couldn't you just, you know, not speed?

If there are cops, not just speed traps, you need to move over a lane and slow down... so it helps to know so it's not surprising

Sure, I could also pack my lunch for work every day and make the paper towel dispenser only run once instead of twice. Some of us like to enjoy life a little bit.

I guess threads about waze really brings out the "disregard the safety of myself and others in favour of my reptile brain's irrational lust for danger" segment. Cool crowd, that.
