WAZE users out there?

[Stigg ma]

Even though I use Waze especially when we travel out of town, I also study or review the route(s) beforehand.
I am not totally dependent on GPS maps.

tama, gps is only a guide sa pinas kase napaka gulo nga kalsada dito, preparation is still a key... pero kung sa USA yan, GPS all the way kase napaka ayos at updated ng kalsada nila at GPS data...

back to topic: i find waze's Fuel and station price finder very useful (wag lang sa day of rollback kase di pa na uupdate ng mga wazers)

I think there's an exception to this. My friend uses Garmin GPS navi going to Grand Canyon. She was routed through a longer circuit going but coming back there was a shorter route.

Waze works better than any navi software I've tried so far. The only issues I've had is not being able to connect to the routing server (maybe too many people logged in?) and sometimes getting routed to seldom used narrow roads with a lot of obstructions like videoke singing drunks who won't give way.

Familiarity with routes is still important.

I usually tell people to check the other route choices in waze as Id rather stick to edsa and loose 5 mins than pass through small roads.

Other map apps are just good for telling where you are, not necessarily where to pass. Google maps is getting better though and Apple maps is still rubbish

+1 for this bro. Aralin muna dapat yung route. Yung Waze is parang coach mo na lang to remind you of the turns. Saka para alam mo kung alin yung main road just in case gusto ko iliko ng Waze sa mga minor routes.

Best tip I could give to anyone.

Ang settings ko sa waze ay yun mg quickest route.

Madalas ko sundin si waze maliban na lang kung ang diperensya ng distansya at oras ay malaki.

Katulad kahapon, from Makati to SM North Edsa ay 15kms tapos ang ETA ay 1 hour 40 minutes. Tapos kaoag via SLEX, Quirino, Nagtahan, Espana, Q Ave, ay 1 hour 15 minutes pero 18.5kms.

Nagvia SLEX ako nasunod naman yung ETA.

Pagdating sa gas ewan ko lang kung mas magastos o hindi. Kung nagEDSA kasi ako baka 7km/l lang sa bagal. Yung SLEX na ruta pumalo ako ng 9km/l pero mas malayo ng almost 4km.

EDIT:

Mukhang halos parehas lang konsumo ng dalawang ruta. Sa oras talaga ako nakatipid.

I firmly believe that the best way to solve traffic is to use Waze...

Even if I don't need it, I just keep it on. At least i can help other motorists by updating accidents and road works.

I agree. The more users , the more accurate the data. Minsan lang, nakakabobo din minsan. Parang calculator lang na kung nasanay ka eh kahit simple arithmetic, you still use it. Kaya I just use it if I'm time constrained. If not, magtatanong na lang, or u-turn or road trip ang labas.

For those instances where you want to avoid the small roads, you can try to customize Waze to ignore smaller roads... it's not quite as easy as with Garmin, though.

Personally, I use it as much as possible. Even out in the provinces, as long as there's a decent-sized population in the area, Waze's maps are up-to-date, showing road blockages and detours. It can also find destinations much better than non-networked navigators like Garmin.

And keeping it on and following its shortcuts as much as possible helps decongest crowded roads. The more of us who use waze, the less traffic there will be at the regular chokepoints.

So how to do this?
