    if you’re going by car or train it’s good.

    Goole’s far superior car navigation app is Waze.

      What’s the big difference? I’m using Maps and it does its job. So what cool features does Waze have that Maps doesn’t?

        For me on many phones over the years the arrow in Google Maps never points into the direction of travel.

        Although GMaps at some point integrated some of Waze warnings, Waze offers more and not just speed cameras others mentioned. Broken down car streetside, btw.

        Radar/autovelox/speedtraps community added. And with in-time alerting if you are passing in it and you are speeding

        Also, in waze with few taps you can add a temporary issue on the rod, like a stopped car on the shoulder, traffico, police presence etc.

          The temp issue thing is also in maps and the radar feature is not allowed in a lot of countries, so they probably won’t add it to maps
