Waze is one of the most popular transit and navigation apps out there. However, in the last few weeks, it has been experiencing some problems with its indications.

Waze users have been reporting routing issues. They point out that the app would be sending them on roads with heavy traffic or closed roads, even when there are better routes available.

Waze users are reporting serious routing issues

According to reports from Waze users, the service has become much less reliable in the last few weeks. Although the app take them to the destination, it does not choose the best routes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

In some cases, Waze is reportedly taking users to the least convenient routes. This means that trips can take much longer than expected (1, 2, 3, 4).

In addition to the above, Waze is not offering correct traffic readings. This reportedly produces that, instead of offering the clearest routes, users get the ones with most heavy traffic.

There are other reported problems that stem from the bad indications that Waze would be offering. For example, some users report that the app takes them to closed or non-existent roads.

At this time, the Waze team has not offered official statements on the problem. Therefore, it is not known if they are already working to resolve the issue.

If there is any new development in this regard, we will update this article. So, stay tuned with us.
