My screen is set not to turn off and I monitor traffic as necessary. I don't like close-up views as I can't see down the route that way, I keep it zoomed out. I also don't need audio navigation, nor do I like it.Navigation doesn't take into account traffic signals that take years to change. I don't need Google Maps for directions, I need it to show me which highways and secondary roads to avoid. |

I also don't need audio navigation, nor do I like it.You can turn off the audio on WAZE. Navigation doesn't take into account traffic signals that take years to change.How do you know? Because while that may have been true in the past, I think now maybe WAZE does take that into account. I mean why wouldn't they???? I don't need Google Maps for directionsRight, you need WAZE for directions (I know, both are owned by Google/Alphabet). I need it to show me which highways and secondary roads to avoid.That's a recipe for disaster. Way too distracting. You should let WAZE do all the real-time analysis for you so you can focus solely on the road out your windshield. |

It does when you need to find the right line (i.e. the road you are on) and differentiate the colors for the two directions of that roadway. Then you also would want to look downstream and see the length and origin of any delays, as well as the cause. All the info is provided. All that info takes time to read. And then it takes a lot more time to process it and make a decision about whether you should divert or not, ans if you should, then where to? WAZE does all that for you. In milliseconds. And it redoes it constantly. Even if you're a pretty smart guy and a very good driver and very familiar with the local road system, how in the world do you think you could do all that manual work safely WHILE DRIVING, and at the same time come up with conclusions as good as, or better, than WAZE? I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy figuring things out on my own. Showing that I can get around on my own. But this is a no-brainer. There's no shame in using technology to help you be safer and more efficient. especially when that technology has a stellar track record as per my personal experience, the experience of others here, and the general consensus of the citizens of these here internets, AFAIK. |

You are acting like you have to manually type in GPS coordinates, operating Google Maps is not difficult. You can easily adjust the map at red signals. If on the highway, I already know where I am. I also don't like audio directions. As I've already said, in the NYC Metro area I don't need google maps to tell me where I am, I just need it to show me where the traffic is. I'll plan my own routes, thanks. |
