The directions are fairly flexible even while youвЂ™re navigating, and youвЂ™re able to search along your route for services and add additional stops. Google Maps isnвЂ™t just a navigational aid though, as it also shows the location of various businesses, local landmarks, and points of interest, making the app useful for getting a broad overview of a region or part of town, seeing what else is near your destination, and other traditional static map functions.

If youвЂ™re using an Android phone, then itвЂ™s the navigation app that comes preinstalled with your phone. Google Maps is a standard navigation app that provides navigation for anyone, whether they are walking, biking, or using public transit, in addition to driving with detailed turn-by-turn directions and helpful lane designations. It has a motorcycle mode, and you can also listen to your favorite music from apps like Spotify and podcasts by linking those services up with Waze and playing them through the app. You can also choose from a variety of app audio voices to guide you while you drive and even use the appвЂ™s carpool feature to arrange carpools to offer rides or find companions. Updates have added support for Google Assistant (on Android) and Siri (on iOS). Waze doesnвЂ™t just focus on driving though. The app also helps you find the cheapest gas stations along your route, and in conjunction with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, you can use Waze on your carвЂ™s display, if it has one.

вЂњWazersвЂќ can alert fellow drivers to accidents, hazards, road closures, speed traps, police activity, and other issues that may call for route changes, and that information comes with an ETA based on current traffic conditions. Google purchased Waze in 2013 and developed it as a separate community-based GPS navigation app with several real-time, crowd-sourced social networking features.
