Waze was purchased by Google in June 2013 and the crowdsourced navigation app continues to focus on the actual journey from point “A” to point “B.” Google Maps, on the other hand, not only gets users from point “A” to point “B” quickly and safely, but it will also recommend to travelers places to eat, sleep, or find entertainment once they arrive at point “B.” Waze users report on certain traffic, road, and weather conditions to help others know what to expect in terms of delays or detours while alerting them to areas where there is a police presence.
