Google Maps is a world-renowned application used by millions of people. However, in the app stores there is another app that is also very successful among drivers. We are talking about Waze, an application that mixes satellite navigation with a social component In addition to seeing the road, Waze offers us some interesting options such as traffic announcements , the possibility of controlling the music from the app itself, the search for the nearest gas stations, the search for parking and much more.
And now comes a important update of the application with new functions and improvements in some of the ones we already knew. Let's check what the new version of Waze offers us.
Improved trip suggestions, better traffic control, Amazon Music integration and much more
One of the most useful features in Waze is trip suggestions These are based on previous trips we take on a regular basis, such as it can be coming home after work or going to the office every day. Waze stores this type of displacement and automatically indicates the traffic conditions and the estimated time of arrival so that we can accurately calculate how long it will take us to reach the destination.
The traffic notifications also notify us of possible incidents, such as works or congestion on our route.This will allow us to leave earlier so as not to arrive late at our destination. These enhancements to the traffic feature will not only work on regular destinations, but also on one-off trips, as long as we plan them in advance in the Waze app.
In the last update the application has also improved the calculation of the estimated time of arrival at destination On the other hand, the quick search The app also gets some improvements like location badges for things like driving, curbside pickup, etc. They also now indicate social distancing efforts where applicable.
More news. If you're a Amazon Music user, you'll be happy to hear that Amazon's music streaming app joins Spotify and other music apps with its Waze integration.
Lastly, Waze recently announced that we were going to be able to save actions in the app's map option. This will allow us, for example, to create a route on the computer, save it and then use it on the mobile when we get going.
Now also lane guidance has been added, which will allow us to navigate more comfortably and have more information when we have to exit a road or take a specific lane to reach our destination.
New travel suggestions and traffic notifications will start arriving in Waze next month of October New Arrival Time Calculations and Quick Search Coming in the Next Days , while lane guidance is already rolling out Amazon Music integration will be the longest coming feature as it we will still have to wait a few months to have it.
