I've got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort. Use any services you know you shouldn't? Any tools that you're just waiting for a chance to replace but can't yet?

Waze is owned by Google.

That.... is unexpected. Why would they make a competitor to their own product?

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago

They didn't. As far as I'm aware they bought the competition.

Waze serves a slightly different purpose to Maps, being a friendlier face that's more of a driving GPS than Maps is. And while they don't really market it as a Google product, people will use it thinking it's a good alternative to using Google or Apple.
