Over the years, Waze has been trying to impose itself against its long-time rival, Google Maps, by integrating new features. The mapping service can always rely on its main strength: community aspect. Indeed, Waze’s primary interest is to allow users to report accidents, slowdowns, construction sites or traffic jams without forgetting the police checks. At this last point, the Ministry of the Interior tried in vain to ban this function.
The Constitutional Council decided otherwise, arguing that drivers’ rights are within the scope of freedom of expression and communication. Soon Waze will show charging stations for electric cars. Good thing once electric cars are more and more on French roads. In 2021, more than 6.5 million electric vehicles found buyers worldwide.
Waze: Refuel cheap with this feature
Ok, you may not know, but Waze can also help you refill petrol or diesel fuel cheaply.. Indeed, the mapping service includes a feature called “Waze Gas Station” or “Waze Stations-service” in Molière. Accessible from application settings, this function is onlyShow the nearest gas stations on the map, also the cheapest.
When near a gas station, prices are automatically updated based on information shared by users. Additionally, you can apply some filters. eg display of stations that only offer SP95-E10 or dieselor, for example, by selecting only Total, BP, Carrefour or Esso stations. Finally, you can also sort stations by distance, price or brand. As a reminder, and since February 2021, Waze is compatible with Google Assistant. In fact, it is quite possible to plan a sound trip without taking your eyes off the road.
