Waze phone app, everyone should use this - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Tillman32 · 10-02-2013, 03:53 PM

Anyone else use the Waze phone app? It's pretty cool for finding friends and people under certain groups. I made an FR-S/BRZ group, if people joined we could see where everyone's driving around.

Sounds stalker-ish, but it's actually pretty cool, would be fun when everyone's at an event like the FT-86 bash!

Makes me think of Need for Speed or something. You can always see where people are and you could find people to RACE ... I do not condone illegal racing >.>

I have the app but I have never used it yet. Just read fun stuff about it.

Hmm I will look into it.

This just saved me from a speeding ticket!

I was about to pass someone on the 202, and as soon as I downshifted, it told me there was a cop up ahead. Sure enough, there was the highway patrol right up the road.

Put your right hand up and swear. Downloading as we speak.

I swear!

It's only because another user reported it, I'd imagine there are a lot of people using it in Dallas like there is here in Phoenix, so you should be good.

Just downloaded and its pretty legit. Thanks.

It's very useful on road trips.

I've been using it for several years now. In the ATX area it's pretty widely used and 80% of reported hazards are accurate (the ones that are not, the broken car has been towed or the LEO has moved on). Highly recommended.

There is an "FT86 Dallas Club" group for well... Dallas.
