WAZE app

For those who don't have this app on your phone it is great.

Locates and alerts you to real time traffic, cops, red light cameras etc. .

You don't have to look at your phone, it will alert you when you are close.

Free and many people use it so the collaboration is high and therefore effective.

For those who do use it I bet you find it very useful. I do.

Use it, love it... better than any other nav solution I have ever seen. Pulled my garmin out of my motorcycle for this; got a pro-clip mount for my truck and wife's 3 series as well.

Now if there was a way to integrate it into the idrive screen that would be awesome.

The crowdsourcing of actual road locations, speeds, etc is really the way of the future. In DC it cuts my commute down by dynamically rerouting when necessary at least once a week.

Just found out about Waze 2 weeks ago and have been using it. Very helpful, especially with voice alerts when driving. Definitely the way of the future, I think.

Trapster is geared more towards police speed traps, though Waze has police reports. Both are crowd sourced.

I use it and love it. My friend uses it to hit on chicks on the road too. You can chat with other drivers close by to you.

Never used it either. Google bought Waze for silly money ($1.1B) not long ago.

I downloaded the app this morning. It seems to be pretty good. Does anyone have any experience with Waze compared to Escort Live?
