But I can't get "waze" directions in google maps (where it has me taking awesomely crazy routes). I also don't get notifications about cars on the side of the road which can be quite useful in certain areas.
On a couple visits to Israel I used Waze because everyone did. Every single ride I was taken through "crazy" routes that wasted my time. Every 5 minutes i got an ad showing me a small discount for something I don't need if I detour 5 or 20 minutes off my route. I don't get that with Google maps.
