Update to Waze ends a “horror story” that gave some Waze users the creeps

Waze still concentrates on the whole crowdsourced navigation bit and users are part of a giant community that reports accidents, police activity, detours, and anything else that drivers need to know about. Sure, Google Maps allows users to report certain issues too, but Waze makes it easier for drivers by taking the  crowdsourced info and using it to suggest alternative routes so that the user can get to his destination in a timely and safe manner.

Waze subscribers have recently found themselves creeped out by one of the voices that give users verbal directions

A Waze user on Reddit responded by writing, “Yes, I noticed this a few days ago as well. She sounds like she’s been on a three-day bender with no sleep.” Another Waze user said, “It’s bad and very random. Freaked my wife out a bit,” and yet another Waze user posted on Reddit, “This! I was on a long drive back from Montreal to Ohio last weekend when we noticed it as well.”

Google’s update for Waze puts Jane on a more even, stable keel

To see if the update has arrived, open the App Store and tap the round icon in the upper right with your initials. Scroll down and you’ll see all of the apps that are in queue for an update. The fastest way to tale care of multiple updates is to press the blue “Update All” link. Before you do that though, you might want to scroll through the list to see whether you have received an update for Waze.
