Almost a million people use the free Waze browser in Spain
The Waze application continues to conquer Spanish users. And it is that its possibilities and resources when using it as co-pilot or GPS are most useful. Perhaps for this reason it has achieved that in just one year there are already more than 950,000 Spanish users using This application. A milestone that they have made public in the official blog in Spanish of this tool, and where special mention is made to the people who are in charge of making the maps so that Application users can enjoy free of real-time alerts about accidents or traffic jams, and the updated streets and highways to drive on.
You have to know that Waze doesn't just work communitywhen alerting about incidents on the road or mapping problems on a street Behind the application there is a broad community of people who are passionate about mapping who contribute to the proper functioning of this application and who help to create all of these maps more actively than the users who use it for driving A community that has worked hard over the past year to, for example, create a complete and detailed map of Tordesillas (Madrid), so that passive users of Wazecan drive and find all streets without problem.
This has been possible thanks to an initiative carried out by two users of Waze (PlumaVeloz and Calandraca) who have decided to put into practice a editing method of maps that could be considered guerrillaThey have called it Waze Outediting Week, and it consists of issuing the alert on a specific point that needs to be reconstructed or edited Thus, in a short time, and with the help of a reduced group of volunteers , have focused on correcting and creating maps of Tordesillas, Monover (and neighborhoods) and the training of other users interested in editing maps after these experiences
In this way, during the past year more than 2,000 volunteers worked to create and edit maps, roads and streets from the web page of Waze Thus up to a total of more than 16,000 million editions But not only The data of the volunteers has been published, the number of alerts and problems encountered on the road during drivingSpecifically, there have been 900,000 incidents that have been reported by users during the past year while traveling more than 150 million kilometers
Therefore, it is clear that Waze continues its growth , with a large community in Spain and concerned about improving the maps Something that results in the improvement of the application, being able to enjoy these maps without any kind of cost and knowing that there is a whole community willing to update the streets, highways and maps of this application. A community philosophy that seems to work very well. Even more so after the latest updates of this application that introduces new features to make it moresocial and helpful.Waze is available completely free for Android and iOS
