I had tried using Waze earlier this year, and while free turn by turn directions were really nice, my issue was with the voice guides navigation. Gladly, with the latest update the voice navigation in Waze has become much more robust! Previously the only voice input from the app was highly generic like, “turn left”, “bear right”. Now however the app tells you specifically the name of the road you are to turn onto, which greatly improves usability and obviate the need to look at the screen.
The other thing I like about Waze is the social aspect of the app. You can easily and quickly add an alert if you happen upon an accident or construction or some other delay. If enough people use this it could be very useful. Since the app is completely free, why not download it and give it a try?
