  • Waze vs Google Maps - Why Google bought Waze for $1 billion. How does Waze work? How does Waze differ from Google Maps? Who owns Waze? Are Waze and Google Maps the same? Is Waze better than Google Maps? Does Waze track cops? What is Waze? How does Waze work? Does Waze really detect police? How does Waze make money?
    We discuss the rise of Israeli startup Waze, and how the crowdsourcing project went from a local novelty in Tel-Aviv to a multi-billion dollar business acquired by Google. Here's How It Happened.

    3:56 Both Google maps and Waze use data but it is just a bit different type of data, nevertheless well made video

    If google maps had police notification and accident reporting - I'd stop with Waze... Apple now have accident reporting.....

      Google shows both of those. Maybe on iphone it is another version of it, but on my s22 and all previous android phones, it has done those things.

    Use to love wave, but when they started carpet bombing us with adds when we came to a stop. I trashed the app off of everything.
    I hate advertisements, I will purchases a app that I like so I don’t have to look at adds.
    Same reason I won’t watch regular tv. Seriously we pay a small fortune for the services, cable, satellite, streaming package services, and still get carpet bombed with adds.
    Nope, I’ll go behind a paywall that doesn’t advertise. And if they start advertising I cancel.
    Big business has bent us over for far to long telling us what THEY want US to watch while not letting us pick and pay only for what we want to watch.

    Why not explain why all the features don't work on Waze on both Android phones and iOS Apple phones. Also why not tell the new CEO to fix up the issues that lots of people are having with Waze...

    How about an Apple Maps video? 😉
    Also, just out of curiosity, why was this video delayed?

      Do you think you'll be buying another MacBook Pro? Maybe one of the M1 machines? It might be worth updating the video description... 😉

    Do any of these apps give an audible alarm when you exceed the speed limit !!!!

      Nope only on waze if there is a speed camera nearby. There's radar detectors that do warn you when you are speeding though.

    If Google goes out of business, will Waze also go away?

      @Sulfen 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If google goes out of business there will be bigger issues. Google holds the largest video database on earth thanks yo TH-cam. They also host a large portion of the internet thanks to Google Cloud. And the largest email system thanks to Gmail. And let's not forget the largest phone market thanks to android.

    I have both. I just don't like Waze's layout - too kiddie. Google Maps for me.
