My experience running Apple Maps and Waze simultaneously is that they more often than not route me completely differently. Thus, one can't be "behind" the other, since they're giving completely different commands. Maps wants to send me on the main route, and that would be great with no traffic. Problem is, there is always gridlocked traffic over the 4 hour morning and evening rush hours. Waze almost always out performs Maps and gets me there quicker. Maps is clueless with regard to traffic gridlock.

If you live in an area with generally light traffic, it makes no difference which nav app one uses, and the OEM nav works great too.

Why not buy a real phone instead of a junior high school girl's twitter toy?

Other than being tethered to everything Apple (Socialism), what benefit is there in owning an Iphone?

Most of you can get the same performance out of a Tracfone or the new Jitterbug mobile phone.

Other than a better interface and user experience, *far* better security, and not exposing all of your personal information and location to companies whose sole reason for being is to monetize these things, nothing.

It's sort of like saying "why would I drive a C7 when a Civic will basically do the same thing?"

Socialism? Really? People keep throwing this term around without understanding what it means. Here's a definition:

Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
This has nothing to do with Apple, which is a private company, not a government. While Apple does control it's own means of production, distribution and exchange of it's own products (only), it's hardly "the community", again, it's just one company, big maybe, but not the community. In the US it isn't even #1 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/...united-states/) and has even less of a market worldwide (http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-...bile/worldwide). Why people inflate the size and importance of iPhone always baffles me. It feels... well... snobbish.

Confucious says “A man with a GPS receiver always knows how to get somewhere. A man with two, can never be certain.”

Actually I made that one up myself ten years ago while trying to figure out a discrepancy between a Garmin portable, and a rental car unit. I’m still proud of myself for that one.

2016 was the first year of the C7 for CarPlay and Android Auto. Unless you have multiple Apple devices connected via the Apple Echo System...it's hard to understand the true benefit of the iPhone over Android. I use 4 iPhones, 3 iPads and 3 Macbook Pro's between work and play and the beauty is really seen on how they all work together as one. I also have a Samsung S8 and although the screen is really nice and it does have a few features that iPhones don't have (and are on the bottom of the list as far as importance), IOS deft has the more polish not to mention simplicity.

I am a Waze beta tester. Works flawlessly. Should be the next update from Waze. See if there is an update today.
