Waze keeps you hook on it

PETALING JAYA: Waze has new features that will anticipate and respond to users’ specific needs, enabling them to go on safer, less-stressful trips.

The new features include Trip Suggestions which provide a visual overview of everything a driver needs to know minutes or hours before leaving, such as the time the trip will take and the traffic along the way.

Recent Locations show drivers the destinations they recently drove to. They are conveniently displayed “front and center” when drivers open the Waze app.

Waze users viewing their upcoming journey each month on the Live Map using its real-time data will now be able to save their itinerary directly to their Waze app on their Android or iOS device with a single click.

Location badges now appear under the search bar to help surface locations offering drive-through or curbside pickup even faster.

Lane Guidance tells drivers which lane to be in, when merging or exiting a stretch of freeway or highway.

ETA calculations in areas where there are fewer drivers have been improved.

Last but not least, drivers can activate the Batman experience on Waze by selecting the iconic voice of Batman (Kevin Conroy) or The Riddler (Wally Wingert) to guide them.

This feature is available globally in English, Spanish and Portuguese until Oct 31, 2020.
