Waze navigation and real time traffic monitoring

[Joe_Satch]

Anybody here use Waze? Free GPS Navigation with Turn by Turn - Waze

here is the description;

Waze is a free social mobile app that enables drivers to build and use live maps, real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation for an optimal commute.
100% powered by users the more you drive the better it gets. Join the community of drivers in your area today!

I was previously using my car's built it AVT navigation system but ever since I installed Waze, I rarely use AVT anymore. Mainly due to Waze's ability to display where traffic is and provide a route to avoid it. It isn't perfect since mapping and the traffic information is crowdsourced but it sure beats my AVT and the MMDA traffic info app combined.

Ang alam ko kailangan ng internet. But i might be wrong

[dfopiso]

^ yun Garmin is a free app sa Android phones? kailan bang naka-internet para magamit?

[ZENMasterTYL]

you need to connect to internet for real time traffic monitoring, pero kung wala kang internet, you can still use it as a map sans the live traffic update

[dfopiso]

^ pag walang internet, parang Maps app pala sa Android

[Joe_Satch]

kailangan ng internet para makakuha ng realtime traffic info, tsaka para ma-download yung map tiles dun sa current location. di ako familiar sa garmin pero yung AVT kumpleto na halos yung streets sa metro manila pero mas madali gamitin yung waze.

so kailangan may internet sa 3g internet sa phone mo para magamit itong feature.

[greenlyt]

waze user also
maganda yun live trafic reports, police presence, mga road conditions
pwde ka rin mag ping or mag message sa ibang users for more update/latest sa trafic

Meron bang tsikot group?

oo kailangan, dito nakukuha yung real-time traffic info feed.

Meron bang tsikot group?

wala pa tsikot na group, pero sobrang dami na philippine groups at hindi lahat active. di naman kailangan member ng group, ang mas important yung nakaka-contribute sa pag send ng update requests sa map pag may mali at yung pag-edit mismo sa maps.

Maganda Waze lalo na kung nakakonek ka sa net. You will get info kung saan matrapik, kung may accidents, etc basta may nag-uupdate na users. Nung nagloko Ndrive ko, I switched to Waze, since naka install din sya sa phone ko. So far, okay naman sya sa akin. Kung may locations database na offline si Waze tulad ng Ndrive, di ko na gagamitin si Ndrive.

Okay sya sa Samsung Galaxy Note.

Tried it this afternoon and it seems good. I had both gps and 3G on. Will try it again without the 3G and see how it turns out.
