Was road tripping thanksgiving. Waze has the most detailed traffic data (accidents, etc)? but Maps has better UI and route planning. Why not merge the products into one?

The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
Two different orgs? And waze is focused on android auto experience?
Also Google map getting worse year by year, would recommending giving a shot on Apple Map
💯 can't believe how far apple maps has come. 5-8 years ago Apple maps was shit and now I really like Apple maps especially for navigation while driving. (I somehow still prefer Google maps for finding places, while walking )
Can confirm. Apple Maps is TRASH for walking. Almost had me getting mugged, going a sketchy path in Seattle. It could have sent me a block over, like google maps, and I woulda been perfect.
Google always just kills the bought tech after integrating it under existing infra. So see waze go away slowly but as you see slowly signals, incidents are already now in google maps.
The butchering started today. Waze ceo fired
Fake news. The organization structure changed so no more CEO role. Too bad, she seemed good compared to other Google leads.
Waze is a community and social network. Maps is a location directory and navigation product. Difference
I've seen Waze features being added to Google maps, like accident and cop/speed trap locations
you are a fortune teller
Just announced they going to. It’s about time. And I say this as someone who was part of the org leadership up until recently.
post did not age well
O shit
Ex CEO of Waze actually wrote an article on how Google deliberately squeezed them out of the market after acquisition
And he decided to sell and earned millions
Well.. they sold it...
