Waze, the GPS application for smartphones, will take a step forward in the functions it offers to users, and with a new update that will add a large number of features, this service will notify users of more obstacles on the road, whether they are speed bumps, humps or tight curves. With this, this service belonging to Google and that competes parallel to Maps, will see its warning system improved.
Waze has been under the Google umbrella for over a decade, and it has remained strong throughout that time. In fact, this major update package certifies that this service is in good health and also plays a useful role as “fake competition” for Google Maps, as although it can steal users, they are actually still within Google’s services.
Waze notices for drivers
According to the explanations from Google on their official blog, there are a total of 6 new features that Waze will receive soon in its service. In this way, this application, which is often used by those who want to avoid obstacles in their routes thanks to its fast redirection system, will enjoy a wide range of additions to continue ensuring their satisfaction.
The 6 highlighted news are as follows:
- Closed curve warning. Thanks to this, users will be able to slow down if they were not aware of the risk of a curve.
- New warning for speed bumps and humps. These are obstacles present in many urban environments, and thanks to these new warnings, they will be marked more clearly in the application.
- Speed limits. Waze will highlight the speed limits of each street you are driving on.
- Parking search. The application will also improve its service for searching parking in high traffic areas.
- Emergency vehicles. If an emergency vehicle is near your route, the application will notify you.
- Extra route information. Waze will provide more information about the route than was previously provided.
Mobile GPS, a valuable tool
Before smartphones flooded society, having a GPS was not as easy as it is now. While before it was necessary to buy expensive systems, or look for modern vehicles that had them integrated into their system, nowadays any user has access to high-quality GPS services thanks to providers like Google, but also to many others, like Apple in the case of iOS systems.
