Or, being that i find the google maps easier to navigate, ill find the place on google maps, hold it down, copy the address or coordinates, and paste it into google.

Question, every once in a while a deal pops up for a GPS unit, but why would someone with a smartphone  buy one instead of using waze?

One of my co-workers got a car accident (> $3700 damage) because she is so addicted to the Waze. She can not stop playing Waze when she was driving.   So be careful ... ;)

Kinda. I have a couple of contacts duplicated, but not 5X and not all of them.

Saw this thread so I went to check out the update, I didn't install it yet though. I was waiting for this kind of update since the acquisition... Moving away from only having Facebook integration.

Once the contacts are duplicated, would going back to the old version fix that?

You are correct about that. The crazy thing is I tried erasing the duplicates and it was not letting me.

Don't know what phone you have, but I think that on most phones you can select which contacts to show. Just hide all Waze contacts (that's what I did on my Galaxy S4).

Did anyone else's Waze voice change today? Still female but different than this morning.

When I was in Israel the voice was also different. This may be that voice. Not sure.

I hate waze because when having  to take a specific lane its not clear which lane to take, like if you have 2 lanes going in the same direction o parallel to each other, or when you have to exit & then immediately keep right or left etc.
What every gps has, this is missing.
(Even with all this i still use it because after all i gotta know the traffic)

I know this is an old post but fyi Google maps had waze traffic integrated into it
