What is it
Waze is a navigation app:
- with daily updated maps
- maintained by volunteers
- for free
World's largest navigation app maintained by us
There are many navigation apps, many of them have maps that are updated only a few times a year, resulting in outdated maps. Waze is different. Waze maps are updated on almost a daily basis. The maps are constantly updated by volunteers of our India community. And last but not least: Waze navigation is for free.
The app uses maps and your phone's GPS. Maps that are not already present on your phone are retrieved via the internet.
It is possible to use Waze without internet connection while driving in areas where your phone uses already cached maps, but the best navigation experience you got with an internet connection. The data usage of the app is moderate.
See our page on the Waze app in India and for more information on the app please visit the global Wiki page.
