Which of the two to choose?

Noticeable differences

Let’s start by seeing what they have in common. Both offer basic features such as voice navigation, route search, travel time estimation in real time, taking into account traffic, as well as automatically updating routes in case of problems on the road. But they are not in the same boat in terms of interactivity, interface or driving experience…

• Interactivity. Waze emphasizes user community by allowing drivers report accidents, traffic jams, cameras, obstacles and other information in real time This data is then used to optimize routes for all users. Google Maps also has community features, but much smaller than its competitor. Waze is the benchmark for real-time interactivity!
• Interface. Waze has a more playful user interface with colorful icons and dynamic visual notifications based on real-time information provided by the community. Google Maps offers a more streamlined and professional interface with more focus clarity of maps and routes.

Other factors to consider

• Price indicator. Waze offers real-time fuel price information to help you find the most affordable gas stations on your route. Google Maps may display gas station information, but may not necessarily include real-time fuel prices. unfortunately it depends on the stations and fuel suppliers…
• Google services: Finally, note that Google Maps is integrated with other Google services like Google Search, Google Calendar, and Gmail, which can make it easier to access your apps and data while you’re behind the wheel using the Google Assistant voice system. Waze, although owned by Google, is not as tightly integrated with other Google services.
• Driving preferences. If you like and want to benefit from a more interactive driving experience real-time notifications are provided from the point of view of other drivers, Waze is the first choice. If you’re looking for a navigation app that’s more integrated with other Google services, simpler user interface and more professional use of Google Maps may suit you better.

Therefore, the choice between Waze and Google Maps is up to youwith personal preferences and the experience you are looking for. Some prefer the community aspect of Waze, while others prefer the simplicity and integration capabilities of Google Maps. But the best way is still to try both programs to see which one best suits your needs…
