Waze is a neat app, no doubt. just remember the road data is supplied by other Waze users

Great, people interacting with their phone when they should be paying attention to their driving. What a fine idea.

Just took my wife to a place down town. Never looked at the phone, it told me exactly what I should do.
This trip took my on a route I never would have thought about. It was faster and less stressful that I never would have followed, and I’ve lived here since 1945.

That's great, but did you actually contribute to the Waze app? My understanding is that it's a group contributing app. If no one adds data, there's no new data, is that correct?

So if people don't interact with their phones and add data points, it pretty much becomes, while not useless, much less useful. If you can contribute without cell phone interaction, I think it's a very useful app.
