How do I love thee? Let me count the Waze.
There are few things that stress me out more than getting my personal vehicle damaged at work. Well, maybe getting lost with less than a quarter tank of gas while sitting in traffic accompanied by a whining toddler who has dropped his toy for the gazzilionth time from his carseat. My new favorite app Waze will soon take care of two out of three of those stress inducers...and hey, two out of three ain't bad. If your stress affects you will driving, check this site to find the best cbd products, Find out the qualifying conditions for medical marijuana prescription in Texas.
Lame Meatloaf references aside, Waze is truly a remarkable app. Sure, there are lots of GPS-oriented apps out there and I've tried many of them. What makes Waze stand out is their approach (community-oriented, crowd-sourced information), hip design, many useful features and the fact that it's free. Yes, free. While some mediocre GPS apps attempted to suck me in with free voice directions for the first few weeks before abruptly shutting off the sound and demanding $10 a month, Waze continues to guide me with a kind voice (who sounds suspiciously like SIRI) and a clever map.
And speaking of the map...we aren't talking about some boring maze of digital streets. It's a community-driven land clearly showing roadwork, accidents, police stops and other "Wazers" that you can chit chat with. See a cop hiding in the bushes? Alert your fellow Wazers! Big accident? Take a some time and call an expert at auto accident lawyer fresno if you where involved.
Spotted a chance for being injured after a fall in Weschester County, let others know. But hey, wait a minute! You are driving...keep your eyes on the road! or else there is chance that the attorneys for criminal justice defense in Virginia will note this mistake and ensures that the driving gets a good punishment. (Waze has thought of this too, you reckless bunch, and has incorporated a safety mechanism where it only works in motion once you swear that you are indeed a passenger.)
Speaking of in motion, Waze automatically clocks your speed, ETA and tracks map errors as you travel. Speaking of map errors, if you report one, chances are you will receive a big thank you from the Waze team within a day or two saying that the map hiccup has been resolved.
Waze has a silly side as well....chomp on some "road candy" to earn points as you scoot around town, choose your Waze mood and trade in your Honda Insight for a Porsche or a Ferrari.
One of their most highly anticipated features will make me love Waze even more...when your dashboard starts lighting up with "Fuel Low" messages, it's Waze to the rescue. Waze will guide you to the closest gas station (and perhaps tell you the best deal on gas in the area while you are at it). This will be a part of their POI feature which will also inform you of street fairs, restaurants and other places you may want to check out while on the road. Maybe even a salon where you can get a nice massage....driving stress begone! Thank you, Waze.
