Google maps over waze any day.
It has way more information.

I'm not sure if I'm looking at the same thing other people are. I don't see any drastic changes other than street color changes and slight more greener greens and duller yellow/greys.

That's what the whole fuss is about?

Short haul maps is usually better long haul I use both. Also depends on the area.

Absolutely! I don't know what magic it has but I feel like getting the full map info instantly and live, while Waze resembles Garmin GPS maps.

Does Google Maps tell you about speed traps, red light cameras, and police?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Don't use either very often, however I find waze easier to use/a simpler app, I will still use Google maps occasionally.

Red light and speed cameras yes, it's a newer added feature, police not yet. I wouldn't bother using Waze even without those features, but I know people running it in the backend for the alerts.

For researching destinations, I use Google Maps. For actual driving, always Waze.

Google maps for directions/routing, Waze set to alerts-only mode for speed traps.

New app update is horrible! Instead of showing the result/business you're looking for in the upper half of screen with the ability to dropdown to full screen, the new results show in a narrow chopped off side on the left with no ability to expand. This is simply ridiculous! Any idea to easily revert to previous version?

Ete. Someone else shares my pain.

How can I get Google Maps to show all buinesses in the area that it is open to?
