Google Maps update (thanks to the Waze Acquisition) From Engadget Google Maps adds Waze traffic data to the desktop, brings back Pegman
We need something like this to improve the traffic in Manila Google’s Waze announces government data exchange program with 10 initial partners - The Next Web
Sounds like it's time to try google maps again. I use Waze primarily because the traffic information (and re-routing) is very useful! Google maps didn't have this feature, but Google maps has a more extensive map interface and layout vs Waze. Hope both continue to improve now that it has the same mother company.
Nice! Waze if more useful than ever! Now we can see how long the repairs are, even if we don't ply that route.
Nice! Just checked my Waze app, & there's already Spotify integration. Checked Spotify app too, & it will ask you if you want to start Waze.
i wonder how we can intergrate waze into our old cars, its such a must for me who is bad at directions
Look for head units that support waze. Pioneer, Kenwood, and a bunch of others offer them. Usually a 2-din HU support mirroring or have something similar to show Waze on your HU. Cheapest is just to have your phone mounted on your dashboard
I'm personally annoyed with google maps as they changed my proper pin for the location of our office to a wrong one. Now almost all of the people who search for our address gets directed to the wrong place. Luckily, it's just WAY down the street but still a pain in the @$$ to keep guiding people to where we are. I've tried to get google to edit it but they just ignore me and not even dignify my requests with an acknowledgement. Waze did this for a bit but thankfully it returned to proper save points and marks.
I have to pin a Carinderia near our bldg instead of any other places in the area to get correct direction,
Now that you mention it, the sari-sari store across us has an accurate pin and I actually tell those who use google maps to just look for it and we're right across it. Go figure
Had a similar problem with our house inside a subdivision: typing our exact address sends Grab riders 8 houses away and on the opposite side of the street. What I did is pin our house and set it up in Google Maps as a business establishment (Housing Complex). I also provided additional instructions that we are the last house at the very end of our street (and not in the middle).
