How do they know? Love or hate Google, I like that google maps warns me when there are faggot ass road pirates out there with their radar guns stealing money from people going five miles over the speed limit, because that's all I ever see them pulling over. They never pull over the actual speeders who weave around traffic. Anyways, I appreciate their service and would like to support it, how can I send in tips to warn other drivers when I see highway patrol hiding on the side of the road?
Not enough people use it to be near comparable to the data-mining GMaps does from people's phones out and about. It was good for like a year, but then google automated what they were doing that was relying on user input pretty much.

Osmand is better for actual navigating to addresses, but google Maps is better for finding places to eat or shop
Christian Powell
Lol, you don't have saphe in the US?
Jeremiah Gutierrez
Nobody ever got pulled over going 5 over, unless you're in a school zone. Road is FULL of people going 15 over, EVRRYWHERE. They should get ticketed.

Waze is owned by Google retard

Yeah, I agree. There is a thing in google maps that allows you to report a change though, which should improve the address seeking for everyone else if it goes through. But I doubt regular people go out of their way to make use of that. I've used it a couple of times to fix addresses of family houses that were in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.

yeah after all the drama with play services this week I'll give it a miss
Ryan Mitchell
My bad then, god damn. It's probably how google's traffic and cop sensing shit got so damn decent then.
Colton Anderson
Depends on where you live. In my country, Waze is the best by a mile.
Noah Wright
they pull over the slower drivers because its a higher chance of someone carrying drugs and trying to not stand out by speeding so fast

It's literally the same database as Google Maps but with a toddler-like interface and shitty gimmicks like celebrities voice directions. GMaps is the professional navigation tool.
Bentley Butler
No it's not. Google maps doesn't show potholes, roadkill or stationary police cars. Also it seems to me like the routes differ sometimes, but I've not tested it side by side so can't be sure.
John Long
Why can't either of these apps give me an option for the route with the least traffic? I'm okay with it taking like five or ten more minutes if I can avoid stop and go traffic
Oliver Cruz
I'm pretty sure google maps does this, or at least displays a red/orange/yellow road when it's busy.
I don't think it updates on the fly that often though. I mean that seems like it'd be pretty hard to do without monitoring a significant amount of data. Even for just a small region.
