It's there, use the QR code on wpCentral rather.

I just installed Trapster yeserday!

Trapster uses a lot of data as the maps are online. All I need is the traffic camera anonuncements. Just wish Here Drive+ would integrate cameras for SA, or at least give us the opportunity to import the ocations oursleves.

How does Waze compare to Trapster?

 

[Park@82]

Good, more users means more traffic data.

SO I've been using HERE Drive for a bit now but I'm not sure if it is better or worse than Waze. On the face of it Waze seem more accurate regarding traffic and routes around it but I can't be 100% sure. Anybody here that used both care to comment?

Anyone know whether Waze allows you to place an obstruction on a highway ? And in a single direction only ?

I'm looking for a solution to bypass the eToll Gates (but not to avoid Toll roads altogether).

The Garmin and TomTom GPS units cannot do this.

I see a tick that says "avoid major highways".

Settings -> Navigation.

Edit: seems to work (android user). Universally though, not single direction.

Single direction obstruction is possible. Will post comparison on waze and here drive a little later today.

See if you can place an obstruction in one direction of highway - that is what you need in order to avoid eToll Gates.

Like this?

Yes, I also saw that but it will not work as the Waze hazards or obstructions get erased if others pass through them.

The community thing is a problem here.

It will only work if Waze would allow you to set your own obstructions that could not be overridden by the system or others.
