I gave up on Waze years ago because it kept giving me the worst possible routes. I just do Apple Maps now and it’s fine. They’ve come a long way in a short time.

In my area, the address locating is actually more accurate too. I was shocked, cause the Google vans are around pretty regularly.
There’s a town in New Jersey that regularly sets up police barricades to prevent cars from taking the “shortcut” Waze tries to send drivers on when the George Washington Bridge is backed up. I learned that the hard way once. But I did end up at a nice Korean restaurant while I waited two hours for the traffic jam to clear.
