Great news for those who use their mobile or tablet as a navigator in the car or to calculate traffic routes. The Waze traffic notifications are already integrated in Google Maps for Spain. In this way, we will be able to find out about the incidents that this service collects thanks to your user community and their participation.
A few months ago we told you that Waze had been bought by Google. This application developed in Israel collects the reports on traffic conditions and transmits them to other users on a map on their usual routes. The cooperative dynamics It is what has led to its success.
For a month or so, a list of countries among which I do not know Spain was able to enjoy this information from the community from their devices. Today the service has reached 45 more countries among which is ours. To check its operation simply enter Google Maps and calculate a route by car to any place. You will see that it indicates the density of the traffic with colors and the incidents with icons, which by clicking on them will give us concrete information about what happened.
Added to the information from the Waze community is that which is offered in its DGT reports on the state of traffic.
Once we have a better understanding of the situation on the road, we can rethink our routes and thus help prevent unbearable traffic jams and traffic jams.
This is a really powerful tool that will make life a lot easier for us. The best is contribute to this information also notifying the rest of the community, for this, we need to have the Waze application installed on our mobile or tablet with connection through mobile networks.
