- The new Waze button allows faster navigation to favorite places
- The recent update follows a general update of the user interface
- Speed blow alerts and lane strength notifications now also appear
Waze has long been a favorite firm among motorists thanks to its early use of multiral origin for the most up -to -date travel information and the precise route guide. Okay, the tastes of Google and Apple Maps have now updated, but it is still a popular application for Android Auto and Apple Carplay users.
If you use the latter, you will find that Waze has silently updated its Apple Carplay user experience, so the interface is not only cleaned and more modern, but now it is also easier to use thanks to a deck of functionality clue.
A shortcut for favorite or more visited destinations is now on the right side of the main screen, just below the search button, before navigation begins. This makes it much easier to obtain the route to a house or office address with a couple of products.
It is also intelligent, since this favorite Hot key will adapt according to the time of day and the planned driving behavior. For example, a button pressure in the morning will navigate directly to the office if that is part of its routine. Similarly, he will sail back home in the afternoon.
The automatic concealment bar at the top of the screen now presents a favorite button (to enter and administer addresses manually), as well as the volume of notification and voice search.

While Waze was once the application for real -time traffic notifications and almost instantaneous alert Powerful the most powerful tool to navigate to restaurants or dark places of interest.
In addition, many automotive manufacturers now execute Android Automotive as the election operating system, allowing said car manufacturer to introduce specific vehicle information on Google Maps.
This is especially important for electric vehicles, where the remaining battery range and the proximity of nearby loaders, the price per kilowatt and the live state (many of them do not work) is essential for trips without stress.
Despite this, Waze users have increased ten times since Google's acquisition in 2013, according to an interview with its founder in Forbes, indicating that it remains extremely popular among Android Auto and Apple Carplay users in general.
But for how long, Google will continue to allow its developers to work and introduce a new functionality is a assumption of anyone.
