Waze is a mapping and navigation app with a strong community around the product. Google acquired the Waze app this June and since then Google is slowly bringing Waze features to Google Maps. Google today took a big step and launched the app on Windows Phone platform. Waze gives recommendations on traffic on your commute, it gets the data from its community of Waze users.
While the Waze for Windows Phone collects great deal of info if the app is open while driving, users also report on accidents, road blocks, and other events as they encounter. Waze is a cool app to have if you commute daily on a car, as it reports useful information that can save lot of time.
