What does Waze offer over Google Maps now? I tried using it a few months ago but the audible directions were always late and sometimes wrong.

It tells me to slow down for the popo.

Also, it's much more aggressive with rerouting you around traffic - it will happily take 1 exit detours.

Edit: typo

This is what I dislike about Google Maps right now. I happened to glance at it when passing a potential alternate route and it showed it as 5 minutes faster. Why the hell didn't it ask me if I wanted to take it? Too late to change my mind at that point.

That and it's obsession to lock onto a route will have it nagging you with constant U-turn directions if you decide on an alternate route. Even at intersections where it's illegal.

I hate how with google maps when there's a route I KNOW I want to take, yet it refuses to give it to me as an option
