For those that use a Tablet in the car, what apps do you like?
So far I have Google Maps, but it doesn't do multiple stops or route changes. GasBuddy for finding stations en route. I like DashCommand for OBD2 at work, but making custom gauges is involved. The ELM327 works great. So far I'm so so on Waze and Torque. Roadtrippers has been a pita to get it to route off highway, requiring me to add stops that complicate the mileages between gas stops. Still looking for a dash cam app that's simple. A track specific app would be nice too. |

For day to day driving, I use Google Maps as it seems to give very accurate traffic updates and faster routes when available. Do any of you feel that Waze does a better job?

Van Waze is google maps, they were acquired in 2013 by Google. . Waze is where Google gets their data for Google Maps.. Google maps will possibly get you there faster, but Waze will tell you every little issue along the way as its a community driven application. You want to know where the police are? Waze. You want to know where the big pot holes are? Waze. You want to know where theres a tire in the road? Waze. I use waze every mile I drive.... Its saved my ass more times than I can count. I dont even bother with my radar detector anymore. Waze tells me where the cops are 10 miles ahead or if they have been spotted in the area.. |
