New mobile app helps you avoid traffic - and cops →
Waze, a free mobile app that uses crowdsourcing to create driver-generated maps, is launching today in the U.S. Its technology gathers information on driving patterns, traffic, accidents, police traps and more and analyzes it in order to inform the driver of the best possible route available.
Waze drivers are building the first dynamic driving map reflecting the roads right now. Driving with waze mobile client lets users passively and actively share real time data and receive the optimal route to their destination. This level of dynamic information can only be achieved by drivers participating and sharing real driving data. Waze is all over Israel and will be coming to the US (currently Android only).
