Many drivers favor Waze's navigation app over competing services like Google Maps, Apple Maps, or other GPS apps. That's because Waze has a great feature that helps drivers avoid being stuck in traffic for long. The incident reports are based on real-time crowdsourced information from other Waze drivers, which continuously inform the Waze algorithms about the road issues ahead. The app can offer alternate routes to avoid incidents and bypass traffic. But Waze ran into an unusual algorithm issue a few months ago that ruined trips for many people. Waze is aware of the problem, and it's likely that you'll never encounter it.
