Hi guys, and in this video we are going to compare Waze versus Google Maps.
Well, there are so many people looking for a real comparison of Waze vs Google
Maps. So here it is. Now if you want to compare app features then please check
out my blog post by clicking on the card or clicking on the link in the
description below. Both apps are owned by Google but a AI both apps used to detect
the traffic flow, get the routes, and reroute is different also what apps support
different features and in this comparison I am going to put on 20
minutes for location and we will see how both apps find the perfect route so
let's begin. In the start both apps started working we can see the speed of
the car in Waze which is a cool feature now this time the traffic is heavy
because we are driving at one of the busiest times and which will of course
give us an opportunity to see the traffic reporting in both apps. The good
thing to consider here is both are giving me the same route as we can see
we have 18 minutes travel time in Waze while 17 minutes in Google Maps there is
a difference of two hundred meters in the distance in one minute of difference
in travel time. Looking at the maps I can say Google Maps is bit more accurate
than Waze in terms of traffic reporting. Google Maps also shows the
different routes with difference in arrival time which Waze does not now we
have the time difference of two minutes and distance difference of 300 meters
the good thing about Waze is that the app is community based where users can
update the fuel prices the problem though is it is just a feature so the
fuel prices at some stations might be older. Google Maps on the other hand
tries to provide as much information about the route as possible. It shows the
number of lines and which line should the rider choose
it sometimes help when there are instance intersections. As I said Waze is
community based it supports features like safety camera, police, crash, fuel
prices, heavy traffic etc. It also depends on the users points on how fast the
information is processed. The more the information user sends the more points
the user gets. The user can also increase the points by editing the map on Waze
website. Anyway we have ten minutes in both the apps and still there is a
difference of two hundred meters and two minutes. Now here Waze is asking me to
keep going straight while Google Maps is asking to turn left. As we can see
where's route is 200 meters shorter and Google Maps is suggesting that ETA
is the same so, we will follow Waze here.
From here, most of the route is the same and the distance is equal. We have seven
minutes in Waze and six minutes in Google Maps. The thing to consider here
is Waze things that I'm already on Walkerville Terrace while Google
suggests to turn left in 40 meters. I don't know if it makes any difference
it's just the way both apps work. Anyway we will turn right on Stephen Terrace
and we will be very close to our destination.
Now here I will change the route a bit to see the speed on both apps reroute.
Now the problem with this is it most of the time selects a zigzag route.
We can go straight and then turn right but it's suggested to cross roundabouts
and then get there which sometimes might take longer time. Anyway we are here and
when we started the arrival time was 16:29 and right now it's
16:34. Which means five minutes late both apps are great but
Both apps cannot handle the fast-flowing traffic.
I hope the comparison helped and let me know what do you guys think of both apps
