Falcon Snapper
Waze is launching a new feature (2020) called the Falcon Snapper (FS). The new snapper is next generational – it is smarter and more predictive than the previous matcher. It uses multiple sensors including GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer (and bluetooth in tunnels) to determine the most likely position of the car in relation to the road. It’s power setting is currently turned down though. Before we can fully utilise its power, we need to make changes to our mapping standards and the Waze map. Once we finish, the power setting on FS can be turned up to the max!
