Hey have any of you guys tried the Waze iphone/android app. Its a free app that acts as a GPS and gives you verbal instructions but also takes into account traffic in real time. I downloaded it but haven't given it a shot yet. Once I use it for a bit ill put my thoughts down. But it seems pretty cool. This could be useful to riders who use their phone for music but don't have it mounted anywhere on their bike. Thus far I have been putting the destination into the maps app and just pulling over every now and then to check to make sure I'm going the right direction.

Waze app
- Thread starter trilea
- Start date
It doesn't pull much data as it caches it and saves the info. A downside is that it will drain your battery pretty quickly if you leave it on for a ride.
I use it in my car with the hopes that another waze user will have marked down where cops are hiding out along my route. I use it and try to mark down whatever hazards I come across to keep it up to date.

TomTom does voice instructions as well, and doesn't use your data plan. So does the one Garmin App as well. Just make sure you've got ~2GB free on your device for the map data.
