    i came across this while in the market.

    http://www.waze.com/


    i like the idea what do you guys think of it.
    i have started using it and i paved some roads in limerick.

    it could be really great if people started using it.

    its available for the iphone aswell as other phones.

    I had this for months & while its novel, it isn't very practical - you just can't rely on it...

    thats why i said i would start a thread here and hopefully more people will use it

    because i think it could be better then google one because of the community updating it

    I just got this app too and have started paving some Limerick roads. I'll pave and pave and pave until I see some results.

    It has been the most popular navigation app for a few years in the Eastern Europe for a few years now. Even before Google bought it.
    You get all the speed cameras, accidents, checkpoints etc.
    Tried it here couple of years ago and only met one truck on the M9 using it.
    It's a good app but only if a lot of people are using it

    Which is exactly why I stopped using it 8 years ago...
