This is great.

Waze provides an additional service here - pointing out police locations, which is extremely useful over long stretches of highway.

I wonder if google Maps' performance is due in part to Waze users being shunted off of main highways?

Another weird though - if Waze is spoon feeding you ads, don't they want you to drive as long as possible?

You can leave it running in the background to do this while routing with Google Maps in the foreground, it'll call out speed traps and hazards and police with it's voice in the background

But waze doesn't point out police by itself, waze user did that when they're driving. And I really don't want the drivers in the cars around me doing that...
