It has speed traps , red light cameras which are one of its best features. Developed by Israelis which explains.

I like it also not perfect. For one it does not post the comments on traffic in the order it receives them

Gosh, far from best and there is at least one other thread where it has been discussed.

Most useful gps yes. Best no. It has alot of details that it still needs to work on. The maps are not yet perfect.

The maps aren't perfect but are getting perfected constantly. With millions of users, it shouldn't take them too long to catch up.

Its usefulness is far greater than any other app, which IMO makes it the best app given that its flaws aren't too great.

Really, where?
Some people think that every checkpoint in Israel leads to Ramallah.

The truth is that many GPS systems have taken people to dangerous places. Abour 2 years ago a Cellcom employee nearly got stoned to death 1000 yards from my apartment because he was following his GPS.

I don't get it. If you'd walk ten football fields from your apartment, you'd get stoned to death? I thought Ramallah is 5 miles from you?

You need not go to Ramallah to get stoned, East Jerusalem (which is just across the Kvish from Chaikel) has residents that are quite eager to stone unassuming lost souls.
