Waze vs Google Maps - Comparison of Two Apps from Google - YouTube

Hi guys, and in this video we are going
to compare Waze versus Google Maps.
[6]
Well, there are so many people looking for a
real comparison of Waze vs Google
[10]
Maps. So here it is. Now if you want to
compare app features then please check
[15]
out my blog post by clicking on the card
or clicking on the link in the
[19]
description below. Both apps are owned by Google but a AI both apps used to detect
[25]
the traffic flow, get the routes, and reroute
is different also what apps support
[30]
different features and in this
comparison I am going to put on 20
[34]
minutes for location and we will see how
both apps find the perfect route so
[39]
let's begin. In the start both apps
started working we can see the speed of
[45]
the car in Waze which is a cool feature
now this time the traffic is heavy
[49]
because we are driving at one of the
busiest times and which will of course
[55]
give us an opportunity to see the
traffic reporting in both apps. The good
[59]
thing to consider here is both are
giving me the same route as we can see
[63]
we have 18 minutes travel time in Waze
while 17 minutes in Google Maps there is
[69]
a difference of two hundred meters in
the distance in one minute of difference
[72]
in travel time. Looking at the maps I
can say Google Maps is bit more accurate
[78]
than Waze in terms of traffic
reporting. Google Maps also shows the
[83]
different routes with difference in
arrival time which Waze does not now we
[88]
have the time difference of two minutes
and distance difference of 300 meters
[92]
the good thing about Waze is that the app
is community based where users can
[97]
update the fuel prices the problem
though is it is just a feature so the
[101]
fuel prices at some stations might be
older. Google Maps on the other hand
[106]
tries to provide as much information
about the route as possible. It shows the
[110]
number of lines
and which line should the rider choose
[113]
it sometimes help when there are
instance intersections. As I said Waze is
[119]
community based it supports features
like safety camera, police, crash, fuel
[124]
prices, heavy traffic etc. It also depends
on the users points on how fast the
[130]
information is processed. The more the
information user sends the more points
[135]
the user gets. The user can also increase
the points by editing the map on Waze
[141]
website. Anyway we have ten minutes in
both the apps and still there is a
[147]
difference of two hundred meters and two
minutes. Now here Waze is asking me to
[152]
keep going straight while Google Maps is
asking to turn left. As we can see
[157]
where's route is 200 meters shorter and
Google Maps is suggesting that ETA
[161]
is the same so, we will follow Waze here.
[175]
From here, most of the route is the same and the distance is equal. We have seven
[182]
minutes in Waze and six minutes in
Google Maps. The thing to consider here
[187]
is Waze things that I'm already on
Walkerville Terrace while Google
[191]
suggests to turn left in 40 meters. I
don't know if it makes any difference
[196]
it's just the way both apps work. Anyway
we will turn right on Stephen Terrace
[201]
and we will be very close to our destination.
[209]
Now here I will change the route a bit
to see the speed on both apps reroute.
[216]
Now the problem with this is it
most of the time selects a zigzag route.
[221]
We can go straight and then turn right
but it's suggested to cross roundabouts
[226]
and then get there which sometimes might take longer time. Anyway we are here and
[232]
when we started the arrival time was
16:29 and right now it's
[237]
16:34. Which means five
minutes late both apps are great but
[243]
Both apps cannot handle the fast-flowing
traffic.
[246]
I hope the comparison helped and let me
know what do you guys think of both apps
[250]
