Waze has just announced a handful of fresh updates that aim to make navigation smoother for everyone, from bike riders to daily commuters. For starters, motorcycle riders now have their own dedicated mode. This setting uses smart technology to find routes that suit bikes better, like smaller roads and special shortcuts. It also warns riders about bumpy roads, narrow bridges, and other hazards that can be tricky on two wheels. The app is also learning your habits. If you always take the freeway instead of side streets, Waze will start suggesting similar routes based on your past drives. You can turn this off if you prefer the old way. There is also a quieter voice option now. It cuts back on frequent updates so you hear fewer prompts, but you will still get key alerts for turns and road dangers. On the voice control side, Waze has made reporting easier. You can now speak naturally to tell the app about closed roads or wrong addresses. These reports get checked by vo...
Waze has just announced a handful of fresh updates that aim to make navigation smoother for everyone, from bike riders to daily commuters.
For starters, motorcycle riders now have their own dedicated mode. This setting uses smart technology to find routes that suit bikes better, like smaller roads and special shortcuts. It also warns riders about bumpy roads, narrow bridges, and other hazards that can be tricky on two wheels.
The app is also learning your habits. If you always take the freeway instead of side streets, Waze will start suggesting similar routes based on your past drives. You can turn this off if you prefer the old way.
There is also a quieter voice option now. It cuts back on frequent updates so you hear fewer prompts, but you will still get key alerts for turns and road dangers.
On the voice control side, Waze has made reporting easier. You can now speak naturally to tell the app about closed roads or wrong addresses. These reports get checked by volunteers before they show up on the map.
And if you need to find something, just ask. You can say things like “find a gas station with cheap fuel” or “show parking near here.” The app pulls up options and lets you choose with your voice.
The motorcycle feature is live on Android and iOS in the Philippines, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, Mexico, and Peru right now. Other regions will follow.
