Not surprised. I haven’t used Waze in years. Either just use Google maps or Apple Maps.

Was eventually going to happen. Google bought Waze to move them to Google. There is no room for competition.

More than 70,000 companies in the US currently in the process of cutting jobs. Google just one of them. Bad times.

Waze my daily driver. Pretty much have it running on Android Auto on car screen when in the car...even if I am not actively driving.
