WazeApp - Techie Tuesday

As Realtors, we know that driving around can be a stressful experience. No matter how many times you may travel to the same destination, there are Techie Tuesday

often unexpected obstacles.

We use WazeApp now. With community-generated real-time traffic, we find that by using this app we get the best route to our destination.

We were meeting a client, and the Waze App alerted us of an accident nearby our destination. We were able to take a different route and alerted our Buyer to do the same.

You can actively report accidents, hazards and traffic jams. Users can either speak into the app or type to identify the destination or the stops they are making. You can also get road alerts coming up on your route that other drivers shared. And, you can find the cheapest gas station along your route with community-shared gas prices.

The service also learns how to route you depending on your usual commute time, and your preferred roads. Great tool for Realtors, Stagers and Home Inspectors, and anyone who is out and about all day!

Sheila: Techie Tuesday is one of my favorite series and this weeks app is a keeper for sure. No one wants to get caught in traffic and Waze App can help keep us informed about the traffic conditions.

I love Waze! I also love the trip sharing feature when expecting someone...that way, I know exactly how much time I have before they arrive. Time I can use for a quick phone call or email.

Thanks for the great techie tip! Wake is amazing - I also use Google Maps - does similar things, but Waze is better. Both show you accidents and construction spots too and are user fed.

I just had to put my two cents inon this app. WE use it and my husband is crazy for it. As soon as we get in the car headed on a trip WAZE is on board. He wants the points and no longer uses GPS, just WAZE.

I used it and liked it, but in my area there aren't enough people inputting current traffic info to make it work as intended. Maybe in time that will change.

Thank you! I am going to pass this information on to my kids and friends. Everyone could use an app like this in Maryland - our traffic is sometimes a mess! This week there was an accident on I-270 an armored truck lost thousands of dollars and people were grabbing it. Is there an App for that???? If so I want it! LOL! Have a great Saturday!
