Waze and Google Maps are mandatory applications for most travelers or new arrivals in a region.
Some users prefer Waze because it is thought to provide more alternative routes. Updates of traffic information are also shown faster. Some people prefer Google Maps because there are more choices of transportation routes.
Then, which one is superior between these two Google-made map apps? Before answering the question, KompasTekno has summarized the difference between the Waze app and Google Maps, as quoted from Digital Trends, Tuesday (20/2/2018).
Waze
Waze owned Google in 2013 ago after it was acquired from Waze Mobile, an Israeli company. Google's acquisition of Waze is worth 1.3 billion US dollars (Rp 17.6 trillion). When using Waze, drivers will be notified turn-by-turn, from place of origin to destination.
Like Google Maps, Waze will also display the travel time and route details to be traversed, including alternative routes, crash info, traffic jams or road closures. The difference is, Waze also provides information about traffic raids and one-way road changes, where this information is not found on Google Maps.
