Waze users commonly called wazers can actively update information about traffic, police presence, construction work, speed cameras, or other hazards along the way.
This helps other users in the area get warnings about what is happening on the road.

- How Does Waze Work?
There are plenty of GPS-driven apps and software to choose from, including options that may have come pre-installed in your car’s dashboard interface or on your mobile device like Google Maps and MapQuest. Most do a respectable job when it comes to step-by-step navigation, and some even account for congestion and other factors that could affect your overall drive time.
Waze handles things a bit differently, though, relying on the power of the people to steer you down the right roads. With over 100 million users sharing noteworthy information about what they encounter along the way, Waze stays constantly updated about anything that could slow your progress. Input from your fellow drivers, known as Wazers, lets the app alert you to important items such as construction, police activity, accidents and even minor things to look out for like potholes and disabled cars on the shoulder.
Waze utilizes all of this information seamlessly to predict accurate arrival times and tailor turn-based directions as you drive, helping you traverse both city and rural roads with confidence. The app is highly customizable, letting you select from a 2D or 3D display and from one of dozens of voices across almost all popular languages. If you aren’t satisfied with any of the voices provided, Waze lets you record your own voice for directional playback purposes.
