    I've been using the Waze app for a couple of months now. it's been very accurate at pinpointing police, accident, and debris in the road. this is just my experience in Florida. any of you guys trust it?

    the users do, it's actually a very simple app, and I've used it to get out of a lot of traffic jams. it has almost always alerted me of cops at least a mile ahead.the one time it showed debris in the road and when I clicked on details it said deez nutz lol

    Oh good, I'd hate to take my eyes off the movie I'm watching while driving to see the alert. ;)
