"I'm a millennial so I have absolutely no sense of direction." What a condescending way to start a video! Lack of Direction has nothing to do with age, It's a symptom of a lack of education.

I'm a millennial...
One of the worst ways to start off a video.

[Xario]

I'm a millennial and actually have a really excellent sense of direction. Way to really get your audience to really feel connected

[Mrluke]

I'm a millennial..? You look like 39

"i'm a m" - Paused video. Wrote this comment. Returned to search.

Google subsidiary (2013–present) Google bought Waze for $966 million in 2013 to add social data to its mapping business. Waze's 100 employees received about $1.2 million on average, the largest payout to employees in Israeli high tech.

One reason to use Google maps over Waze:
You don't have to unlock phone to see navigation.

You've convinced me to give Waze a try. Thanks Flo!

I'm a boomer and I just glance at the sun or the north star to get my direction. I don't even have tattoos to express who I am or wish to be. Not only that, but I tried this Waze app, but it doesn't include electrical cars and charging stations. Otherwise, I loved it. Easier to follow than the Google thingi. I hope it will include charging stations for the upcoming updates.

While I use Waze a lot, one advantage Google has is that it tells you what lane you need to be in.

I immediately dislike and left, well not immediately. I had to type this.

You're definitely not a millennial.
You look 100 yrs old.

I have used the Waze voice commands before. The only problem with them is that when you use the ones for Waze, it takes exclusivity over your microphone and make it so you can not use your Google Assistant. I much prefer using my Google Assistant over using the Waze voice commands.

"Im a millennial and am EXTREMELY HYPER sensitive to a lame joke." seems to be the more accurate association.

"I'm a Millenial"

Dislike.

Waze is what Lyft recommends (it's more accurate to a point), but it is a PITA to set up for me to schedule a Lyft ride. Also Lyft's own app doesn't default to Waze so you have to jump through hoops to get it to work for you. If I have to sit and think about configuring something I'm not gonna bother. While I am pretty tech savvy, Waze just didn't work like I wanted it to.

Google Maps works for me because it's already there in my Galaxy, and I've used it so much. Plus I don't need yet another app eating up more storage and have another app eat all my RAM.

I use Waze with Android Auto. Best nave app out there. It can now be used with the iPhone and Apply Car Play.

I have had a horrible experience using Waze navigation. Yesterday I was directed to the backyard of Walmart in Burbank. Waze is a kind of shit which doesn't work offline. It looks like a bit of colorful video games. It cannot be compared with the Google maps. Google maps is and will be the best forever

I'm a millenial, so I can barely read & don't know traffic symbols! 😕

My 2021 Waze doesn't have the things on it that the online videos are talking about, or I should say I can't find them. Is there a 2021 video?
