    Based on my experience, waze works better in Asia while google map is more accurate in North Am and EU.

    When I am driving, I let my wife operate Waze on her phone. I don't like looking in the middle of the dashboard when driving as I focus more on the road. You cannot be distracted when driving at a certain pace. I just ask her how far we need to go on the current stretch of road and how far till the next turn (left of right) or in the case of winding roads, how far on the next hairpin or chicane.

    Before the trip, I study ahead of time my itinerary and plan alternate routes if necessary.

    How about listening to the voice instruction on the bluetooth speaker bro?

    Sometimes I do that but I just don't like the idea of watching over to the central dash. Maybe when I have enough dough to buy myself those fancy Audi's with the navigation screen built in in the driver's dashboard view.

    All the cars at home has a dedicated GPS receiver. Not the built in ones integrated sa head unit. Garmin ones.

    I always put the Garmin on the left side corner of the dash, closest to the left side mirror. For me, it makes more sense Kasi dun sa side na yun ako nakatingin. I tried at the center to have a more balanced dash board but yeah, I tend to look away from my front driving perspective when it's at the center.

    Try mo sir, baka effective rin sayo.

    I don't have a Garmin or any other GPS device at the moment, we just use waze on our phones. When I was living in the US before, our Garmin GPS has this suction tool and thus I can place it in a position better suited for driving.

    Without real time traffic, garmin is less effective in managing your time.

    I mean sir, instead of nasa gitna ng dashboard yung phone mo while using waze, try placing it Sa left hand corner. Better viewing angle and no need to veer away from what you're looking at when driving.
