Do you use Waze?

I've started using waze, and I've become a little addicted - started of as an idea to learn my area I've just moved into, and to test out if it's actually any good.

I've created a MG user group, so if you use waze do a group search for "MG Zed".
See you around!

I love it when people call me at 3 AM. "Hey, you asleep?" "No, I'm skydiving."

So it's an app for those gadget freaks then! Guess I'll have to wait for my company phone to be updated from the current N96.

It's quite good fun for a while actually, It gets adictive because you start trying to create as much roads to update the map as possible (Various routes to work etc). The more people in an area that use it the better it gets (Really quick road traffic updates etc)

Currently, it sucks as a Sat Nav, but I wouldn't say the UK map is even 25% complete, but it's certainly growing quite quickly and I can see this becomming a popular app. Privacy settings etc are there to hide your location from the joe public (You can usually see other users on the map) but year the wze servers will know where you are and thats how it generates traffic reports. - It's also intended to be used to advise other road users of speed traps

Good fun, but nothing more than a gadget at this stage! - it should evetually get to the point where it's a half decent sat nav with real time route updating based on congestion reports.
