New useful features are coming to the Android and iOS versions of the Waze app،

How to separate Waze from Google Maps? After all, both services are owned by Google, and ultimately both are responsible for getting you from point “A” to point “B” quickly and safely. But there are some differences between the two. Google is more of a concierge navigation app, as it will recommend restaurants, hotels, and landmarks, and the app will also tell you what passes for entertainment when you arrive at your destination.

Waze announces six new features for its iOS and Android apps

Waze focuses on travel. Using its collaborative data, the app will tell you if an accident requires you to take a detour or if the weather has become a factor, and Waze will also tell you if radar-equipped police are looking for speeders along the route. Your itinerary. Waze also likes to lighten things up during your ride by adding celebrity voices to give you directions. You can even configure the app to use your own voice to tell you when and where to turn.
And today, Waze has announced six new features that it says aim to make “driving safer and more predictable.”

Trying to navigate a roundabout can sometimes be nerve-wracking and you could end up taking the wrong lane and finding yourself lost. But thanks to members of the Waze community, Waze will show you exactly which lane to enter and where to exit. The feature will be released to Android users worldwide this month, and iOS users will receive it later this year.

Waze will also start showing you when an emergency vehicle is stopped along your route, giving you plenty of time to make necessary adjustments to keep you and first responders safe. The information comes from Waze for City partners and the feature is now available for iOS and Android users in the United States, Canada, Mexico and France. It will soon be available in other countries.

Don't you hate it when you're going 100 km/h and suddenly a sign pops up saying the speed limit has been reduced to 40? Rolling out globally to iOS and Android users starting this month, Waze users will see an alert when the speed limit along their route is about to change. Now you have no excuse to get pulled over for speeding, unless you simply have a leaden right foot.

When you're driving in a new area, things can get pretty difficult. That's why Waze will begin rolling out a new feature to iOS and Android users around the world this month that provides early alerts alerting users of upcoming sharp turns, speed bumps, and tolls. This combines with current alerts for potholes, railway crossings and bad weather to help you navigate unfamiliar territory like a local.

Waze users can get more information about parking and reserve a space from within the app

Waze today announced its partnership with Flash to offer more parking information. If you've ever driven through a major city, like New York, you know how invaluable this information is. Waze will tell you how much the garage costs, whether it's covered or just an open lot, whether it's wheelchair accessible, and whether you can charge your electric vehicle while it's parked in the garage. Here's the cool thing: you can even reserve a spot in the garage from the Waze app.

More than 30,000 parking lots in the United States and Canada will be supported by this new feature in the coming weeks for iOS and Android users. Parking garages in New York, Chicago and Montreal will be among those included.

Sometimes your preferred route to a familiar place like your home or office isn't the quickest way to get there. But you might like a particular store you pass or a certain view. Starting this month on iOS and Android devices, Waze will show you live traffic updates and delays for your favorite routes, even if they're not the fastest options. You can use this information to compare your preferred routes with alternative routes.
