RE: Speed difference
Although I have the speedometer enabled in Waze, I haven't really tried checking how far it deviates from the speed reported in my car's dashboard.
I wouldn't blame waze for the inaccuracy though. The car speed rating comes from the built in accelerometer in your smartphone or tablet. Waze is just reporting what it reads from it.
I assumed that the speed waze is reporting is via gps not accelerometer. I could be wrong. Thanks for the info
