Every evening Waze wants to send me down Charlotte Street or another mystery street between Richmond and Wrightson road.
On another note I tried the Toco navigation with Waze this weekend.
It doesnt work as good as NavPhone does. Waze basically shows one main road all the way.
Il stick with my initial claim...Waze only good once you have net access, now even with simple navigation.
no it's not. And no you don't need wifi to load the navfone map dataDVSTT wrote:idlemind wrote:It may be suggesting the PBR if other Waze users are taking that route.

Will check out Navphone. Is it free?
Went down mayaro and was not able to track the route with Waze as the maps for that area did not load until I got to the house and connected to wifi. Will I need wifi to load maps on navphone?

If you're looking to get NavFone and are on IOS look elsewhere $49.99. Read for yourself.

The Android version is cheaper $26.81 but still outdated.

When heading to Williamsville waze navigates me to San Fernando tech overpass and the reform, by passing the Gasparillo bypass road.
Even when I take that road it would send me right when it should send me left...

Swisha wrote:Facebook rumored to be buying GPS app Waze for up to $1 billion
Between buying Instagram and calling Facebook Home the "next version" of his social network, it's fairly clear Mark Zuckerberg's obsessed with the prime real estate on your smartphone. Israeli newspaper Calcalist is reporting that Zuckerberg and Co. are eyeing up crowdsourced GPS app Waze, which generates mapping data by pulling it from its users' devices in real time. The paper says that Facebook entered into discussions around six months ago, with prices in the $800 million to $1 billion range being mentioned -- and while that sounds like a big number, it's still only a dollar per user.

Facebook expected to acquire Israeli navigation startup Waze
Social networking firm Facebook is in talks to acquire mobile satellite navigation start-up Waze for up to $1bn, according to Israeli business daily Calcalist.
Financial results released in January showed almost a quarter of Facebook’s business is now mobile, making location-based services an important area of development.
Commenting on the results, founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg said: “Facebook is a mobile company. Mobile is a perfect device for Facebook. It allows us to reach more people.”
The deal will give Facebook its own mapping service it can customise, which will improve its competitive position in relation to Apple and Google, said Reuters.
Waze, which has 47 million members, uses satellite signals from users’ smartphones to generate maps and traffic data, which it then shares with other users.
The app has already incorporated Facebook, allowing users to share journey information with friends.Maps and navigation services have become a key asset for technology companies with growing adoption of smartphones and other mobile devices capable of location-based services.
Neither company has issued a statement, but reports said talks between Waze and Facebook started six months ago and have reached an advanced stage, with due diligence processes already underway.
The acquisition will be the largest for Facebook since it agreed to a $1bn cash and stock deal for photo-sharing app Instagram, which ended up being $715m, following declines in Facebook’s share price.
Shares of Facebook were up 1.1%, or 30 cents, at $27.42 in afternoon trading on Thursday.
