If we talk about mapping and navigation apps, Waze is probably the best alternative to Google Maps. The platform, owned by Google, places great importance on live information from users, and even alerts on black spots where there are more accidents.
It is also the choice of many users because of its radar alerts, and now, like the Google application, it has updated some points of its design. These are intended to make certain options more accessiblealthough there are others that seem to have disappeared from the app.
Although it is a competitor to Google Maps, Waze is much more focused on this type of information, which sets it apart. In all cases, the competition they maintain makes them evolve by seeking to offer the best to users.
A facelift
The main change that the application experiences is that it is now easier to start a report on an event observed on the road, since the process has been shortened so that it is necessary to touch the screen less. Also The incident reporting process has been modified so that the application automatically completes and sends the report so that the user does not have to do it manually.
Some options, according to 9to5Google, appear to have been abandoned, since they no longer appear. For example, reporting an accident, which was previously in the danger section and is no longer there. The car warning in the middle of the road has also disappeared. So the number of variations to choose from is reduced, but they can be replaced with similar variations that continue in the application.
New Waze design
Free Android
Although the precision of the information is reduced, the speed and simplicity of the menus are increased, so it will be necessary to see how this affects the users who usually use it. This Waze design update is gradually being applied to its mobile application, both for them and for Android, but these changes have not yet reached vehicles.
