Google Maps vs Waze vs Apple Maps - Outside North America!

[@cassian_pcm6941]

Basically, use Google Maps for searching and deciding where to go, look for pictures, reviews and stuff, and then use Waze for driving to the location :))

[@imjamf]

I think it's weird that Waze and Google Maps are so different when they're both owned by Google. In my opinion, Waze would be more dominant & feature-rich if they were allowed to grow on their own.

Well they are so different because they are allowed to operate on their own, but that might change soon. ​@@imjamf

​@@AaronAObeng Why not just use Maps? (genuinely curious)

[@AaronAObeng]

​@@kindofanmol as mentioned in the video I like the community based features of Waze (crowd sourcing), the ability to report and view things such as incidents, speed traps, objects on the road etc, which are lacking in Maps. On the other hand Maps has street view and satellite view which allows me to see the destination before I get there, and I mentioned before the feature that benefits me in Maps is the ability to copy the coordinates of a destination and paste it in Waze and off I go.

[@birtalanlorant5572]

Same. Check for a parking spot and entrance and shit on streetview, then set the address on waze.

If you're someone who travels internationally Google maps is the only way to go. My wife and I have planned several trips and were able to find locations, create a list of our itinerary and use all kinds of transportation. Also, if you're getting a rental and driving around, it greatly helps because you may not be able to read the directions on the signs, but navigation will still give you the visual cues. However, Waze is looking interesting for when I'm back here at home in the US

[@Funkteon]

Waze will send you down side streets during periods of heavy inner-city traffic, whereas Google Maps will just point you down main arterial roads and give you the time delay for your route. Due to this feature, Waze is pretty popular with Uber drivers who want to keep their customers happy rather than sitting in traffic, and this is especially true for taxi drivers due to the meter running while sitting in traffic.

[@portudissimo]

Google maps also has the report option, and it's possible to plan a drive too like Waze, you just need to select when you are planning to leave or arrive in the search bar

[@gentle285]

But that's the difference, it's the other way around. Waze tells you when you should start to get the best time and the least traffic.

[@georget10i]

Something that Google Maps has that no other maps apps has, is showing POIs on the map, while you are navigating. Start navigation to somewhere, then tap the search magnifying glass icon, search for a POI, like petrol stations. Then tap "Re-center". The navigation continues, while all the POIs are still visible along the way. It is convenient because you don't even need to enter the POI as a destination, once it shows up on the path, in your view, just detour to it.

[@zemont]

In portugal, google maps have a lot of features that were missing from your app, like lane assist, speed limit, fixed and temporary speed traps, crowd sorced alerts like waze, etc

[@30garryb]

In the US Google maps allows you to report as well along with lane assist and turn red when you go over the speed limits. When approaching your turn or exits it also speaks out the same way that waze does for your location as well.

[@stanisawczajka3963]

The problem is there are countries outside US. Thats the point of this video, waze works well everywhere I have been, google or apple maps have their features limited

[@i.d.6492]

No they aren't. He's just biesed and turned off all of the options

[@lechatinconnue7310]

I use Apple Maps because I find it explains directions better than the others. I also use it because, when there are traffic jams, it proposes real secondary routes, whereas Waze often proposes a route that is already quite full, which amounts to the same thing. Waze is useful for those who don't respect speed limits, as it lets you see the police and so on. However, in terms of navigation, I find Apple Maps less energy-consuming than Waze. What's the point of knowing that I'm exceeding the speed limit? I've got my speedometer, I'm not blind. Apart from using more battery power, each application has its advantages and disadvantages.

[@vizender]

I second this. Apple Maps is also rolling out precise lane indications across the world. Since it used to be the only advantage Waze had over Apple Maps to me, it got me to change to Apple Maps indefinitely for navigation. I also find Apple Maps predictions to be much more accurate than Waze, with Waze usually being real time, while Apple Maps is much more predicting (and precise). When I tried to use both to compare on a 9h trip, Apple Maps was precise at 20 minutes, while Waze estimated that I would arrive 1h30 minutes before the real arrival, due to the traffic jam at the entrance of the city during rush hour. I also don't use G Maps because I find the app way to cluttered, and when I look for some shops/restaurant, I do a quick search one Apple Maps and go on Google on internet if I want more infos.

[@atyabmuhammed6897]

Only issue with Apple Maps is no turning arrows at the actual turn on the map

[@barrydraper]

In the US, for me it's WAZE with crowdsourcing (Best for Navigation), followed by Apple for Nav, and Google Maps is my choice for looking up places & reviews. BTW, I'm using an iphone & still preferring WAZE for primary navigation.

[@hegedusuk]

Apple gives lane assist instructions in the UK and the diagrams of complex junctions are better, especially in London. Waze does let you have offline maps Apple and google do use crowdsourcing. Apple’s graphics are more detailed than Waze and Google Waze and to a larger extent google tell you that the route found is x minutes longer than usual due to traffic, but Apple doesn’t do that Apple Maps tells you when there’s a better route (due to less traffic) and tells you what that route is, Waze doesn’t, it just says ‘we’ve found a better route’ I find that Apple Maps won’t reroute if there’s only a small amount of time saving but the route is more complex, depending on time saved. It’s just more conservative than Waze Overall, I use both Waze and Apple Maps, they’re both brilliant, give accurate routes and are easy to use. I live in the UK

On Google Maps, the speedometer changes from BLACK to RED when you go over the speed limit here in Canada. Not sure why it is not showing on yours.

[@swestuff]

On 1:32 you said the speed camera warning is only on Waze there since it's crowd sourced. But at least here in Sweden it shows all cameras even hidden ones on google maps it also gives you plenty of warnings. Same goes for the speed limit and current speed, Google maps does show the speed limit and how fast you're going. It may take time for google to update it since some roads at least in Sweden is displayed wrong but for the majority it's correct. You can also report incidents on google maps but I haven't made one so idk how good it is. One more extra thing google maps also sometimes shows you lanes. Not sure what decides when it shows which lane to take versus when it just says keep right/left, hit and miss. But it might have something to do with road works since those places are where I've driven mostly recently.

[@IDTR]

Salik) charges shown, which is very useful. And it also shows user reported speed traps unlike Google maps. This is one of the reasons I love Android, there's no way to share between maps like this on iOS. Great video!

a little strange that in Mexico we do have lane-level navigation, the button to report incidents and even the speed radars (that you also report on the incident button) I always thought that UAE was more important country to google.

[@randomkuchen]

So for me in Germany, Google Maps talks a lot more. 1km, 500m, 250m and directly in front of an exit on the Highway. And also the exact lane I need to use and if I need to stay to the Right or Left. And for the Gas stuff, the same. Google can more. It can show me the prices (For the type I choose.) directly on the Map while driving. And when I click the station, it will show me the price of every type.

[@adilsond]

Here, in Brazil, Google Maps has a option to report accidents and other traffic issues. And it get some information from Waze.

[@kamal-ahmed]

Wise used to show nearest parking to any direction but now it has removed it. This was one of the most important features to me. I live in Sharjah. When I go to Dubai to any place I get very worried to find proper parking place or route. Because just because we are near a building it doesn't mean we can park. For example before when I wrote Dubai mall then it showed nearest parking automatically and asked me to choose a parking place. But now it randomly select place like Google maps. I just don't understand why they did that. I use yango maps for unknown place in the UAE and waze for known parking place.

So, I used to be a FedEx Courier, I still kidna am, except I drive a semi truck for them now, but when I had 100+ stops a day in the part of the city I didn't know too well I would just type in each address on a map app really quickly. When I had an iPhone I tested each one of these apps. Waze was too clunky, and slow. It physically slowed down the number of stops per hour I delivered. It's only good for long road trips. Apple Maps was just not reliable enough. It wouldnt pinpoint a lot of places, or was off quite a bit, or would have me turn down wrong streets to get to an address, such as going behind a building instead of out-front. It also would always display the screen even when i would just lock the device and listen to directions to save battery. Google Maps on the other hand was way quicker, I could type in an address and get navigating in a matter of seconds. It had so much more info about the world, it knew the location and address of almost anything, even in neighourhoods that didn't exist yet on the map, it was so much more reliable. I ended up being one of the fastest couriers on route because of how quick Google Maps was. It wasn't without fault here and there of course, but none of the other navigation apps even came close.

[@ganeshr477]

[@henryijeoma]

The only thing i don't like about Waze is that it forces you to look at your phone screen when making exits, which is bad especially when you're driving to a place for the first time. Example is in their voice commands Google Maps: In 200feet, keep right and take Exit 150 (without looking at your phone, you already know the Exit number) WaZE: In 200feet, exit right (WHAT'S THE EXIT NUMBER WAZE!! So now you'll have to take your eyes off the road to quickly look at your phone to get the exit number. I missed an exit because of this when i started using Waze newly)

I have an android Pixel phone, and I have tried both Google Maps and Waze. I prefer Waze, and feel it is easier to use, and more likely to alter navigation favorably as traffic conditions evolve. I think that the more drivers participate in these apps, the more smoothly we can negotiate inevitable ebb and flow of traffic!

I mainly use Apple Maps in Germany and other parts of Europe and it never failed me. I’ve noticed multiple times that Apple Maps gives better traffic jam forecasts (e. g. Apple Maps said to take the alternative route while Google Maps insisted that going through the traffic jam is quicker, it was not btw) and Apple Maps also has the more up-to-date roadworks and closed roads data in their system. This data usually comes directly from government institutions and should be available for Google Maps too, but Google either does not care or is very slow in implementing this data in their system. Apple Maps also has a much better voice (in German) and I find the routing experience in cities with a large number of different tracks better. Waze is okay imo and the best thing about it are the laser warnings (which is illegal in Germany btw) but otherwise I don’t like the UI of Waze.

Waze for driving and google maps for reviews and exploring and directions when walking and to see what a place looks like before I get there so I know what to look for
