Virtual maps apps have become an essential tool in our lives to reach another or to find a specific location. Without a doubt, Google Maps is the great reference in this regard, although little by little, its sister platform, Waze, is gaining more followers.
The main difference between both apps that are owned by Google, is that Maps is designed to move from one side to another in any way, while Waze is designed only for driving by car and therefore their interface and their functions are focused on improving this aspect.
In addition, historically this Waze has stood out for offering differential functions and tools that the other apps do not havealthough in recent years Google Maps has been adding these differential aspects such as police controls.
Now, we have just known that Waze has decided to back down with the introduction of a new function For driving, a news that surely more than one bothers him, especially because It fit perfectly within the platform.
It’s about Add on the route the stop signals and traffic lights so that when users are driving they know even more in advance that they are there. As it seems, this function “does not conform to our strategy” explained a Waze representative, so it seems that it will not finally reach the app.
It is striking that the platform has decided to take another path, because Waze already knows and has registered in its systems both traffic lights and STOPs, so what It would not seem very complicated to add these alerts to the maps.
