• Best app, like, ever?

  Waze (Free) - Would have said Google Maps but Waze helps me get places AND tells me where speed cameras are. Source: 3 months ago

• Is someone using my API key or am I being stupid?

  Had the exact same thing happen to me, including waze.com as referring domain and same billables. Source: 8 months ago

• Alexandria to Chantilly

  I would suggest using waze.com from wherever you currently are over the next few days. At the time you expect you would actually leave Alexandria for Chantilly, use waze.com's "Live Map" feature to see the route. It will show you a remarkably accurate estimate of the best route and the time it will take. It will also show you a couple of alternatives. Source: about 1 year ago

• How is the commute from Ashburn to Arlington?

  If you want to get pretty accurate actual times for your commute, after next Tuesday (when traffic is getting back to normal levels after the holidays), use waze.com AT THE TIME you would commute to view their "live map" of the trip. It will show you a pretty accurate estimate of the time it would take right then. Source: about 1 year ago

• There is a water main break on Belair Rd

  We are updating Waze with live closures and detours. Source: over 1 year ago

• In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users

  Had the same experience, and ended up being satisfied with Magic Earth[1]. I tried more or less every major navigation service (paid and "free"), and I ended up sticking with it. And no, I'm not affiliated in any way; just wanted to share a recommendation because I was in the same boat. [1]https://magicearth.com. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Does your city have the bicycle route option for Google Maps? Mine doesn’t.

  Don't bother with Google Maps. Not just for cycling but also for driving. There's better options like Osmand or Magic Earth that actually use a map instead of a yellow pages for navigation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Migrating from iOS, deciding if installing Calyx or Graphene on Pixel 4a

  Try Magic Earth for a Google Maps replacement (you can try it out on your iPhone now and download via Aurora Store on CalyxOS). It’s better than Google Maps in many aspects (except public transport and looking up places, but you can easily use separate apps for that, namely the app/website of your local public transport company and a search engine/Yelp/TripAdvisor).

• Google Maps and Google Play Services warning

  If you need live traffic information, Magic Earth might be something for you. Source: over 2 years ago
