Waze is a navigation application for Android that allows users to check on current traffic conditions. It is possible to find a necessary location on the map and create a convenient route to get there.
Navigation
Users can detect their current location on the map and learn how to get from one place to another the most convenient way. To do so, it is only necessary to enter the address on a search bar after which Waze shows a list of recommended routes to take. Additionally, it is possible to view the distance and time necessary to go to desired destinations by means of transport or just walking.
Just like in OsmAnd, there is an option to add important locations to favorites. Thus, you can always see them on the map and quickly create routes even from unknown places. The application allows you to save your home, work and other addresses.
Safety
Waze is known for displaying the least crowded streets to drive. You have an option to receive alerts about upcoming traffic jams in certain places, police posts and road accidents. Thus, it is possible to get real-time updates and choose the safest routes to travel.
