When you download Waze, you not only get a free traffic & navigation app, but also become part of the local driving community in your area, joining forces with other drivers nearby to outsmart traffic, save time, and improve everyone's daily commute!

When you download Waze, you get:

* Live community-contributed traffic information and road reports + notification when approaching police traps, speed cams, heavy traffic or hazards on the road
* Free traffic by-passing navigation featuring voice-guided, turn-by-turn guidance
* A 100% live map + real-time road monitoring & automatic re-routing as conditions on the road change

So, how does it work?

After typing in your destination address, just drive with the app open on your phone to passively contribute traffic and other road data, but you can also take a more active role by sharing road reports on accidents, police traps, or any other hazards along the way, helping to give other users in the area a 'heads-up' about what's to come.

I'm disappointed after the 3.0 upgrade. This feels like a step backwards to me. Most significant is a “feature” that causes all local roads to disappear at speeds over 40mph; this is a big disadvantage on local roads with a 50mph limit, as is common in rural areas. The Yelp stuff might be cool, but the feature is so well hidden that I haven’t managed to figure out how to do it yet. So it may as well not be there. And as far as I can tell (based on one FC) they haven’t fixed the problem where leaving the app (like to skip a song in Pandora) and coming back causes a Forced Close.

I like this app, uses it a long time, BUT, just upgraded to 3.0.0.0, it crashed my android (2.3.7, CM7.1.0), on HTC legend, so that NO BUTTON could close waze or switch to another app/screen, had to remove the battery.
