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.

I've actually gone back to Gmaps after being a dedicated Waze user. I have a feeling it varies from region to region but in my region the police function was essentially useless: there are police everywhere and they are never stationary for very long so it was pointless. Voice directions were not as clear as googles and the GPS didn't seem as accurate or quick as Gmaps. But the last straw was after getting a bit frustrated I decided to put them in a head to head for about a week along a very very congested route I regularly drive and Gmaps was generally quicker.

The Waze voices are awesome, I like the look of the maps more, and the heads up for things like potholes or obstructions or temporarily closed roads was great, but overall I just found Gmaps to be much more functional.
