Сегодня уже слабо верится в то, что еще какие-то пару десятков лет назад большинство участников дорожного движения пользовались обычными картами – геолокационные и картографические сервисы окружают нас повсюду. Причем навигаторы, как отдельные приборы, быстро отжили свой век, уступив место мобильным приложениям. Публичная капитуляция когда-то лидера этого сегмента, голландской TomTom, отказавшейся от производства приборов в пользу разработки мобильных приложений, это убедительно...

Свежий апдейт «научил» Waze обращаться к календарю на iOS и Android и прокладывать путь по адресу, указанному в назначенных событиях.

The Google-owned ‘social GPS’ app Waze has been updated to add support for navigating to destinations directly from calendar entries....

As some app development teams race to include as many new features in their navigation apps as they can, others are creating complementary features outside those same apps. Perhaps there is no ‘one’ best solution anymore.

As we wind down the year, The Next Web compiled a list of some of the social apps that have made some significant moves in 2013. How did we qualify what a social app was? In our mind, it was a service that had a core functionality that enabled users to interact and engage with other people, either online or offline....

A Waze update launching Wednesday adds the ability for users to report closed roads on the social GPS service, in real-time.

Along with the update, Waze also announced it has reached 40 million active users a day -- 10 million of which are in the United States.

Waze, the app that uses crowdsourced data to build its maps and provide real-time traffic information, is introducing a new feature today allowing users to report road closures. This seems like a pretty natural extension of what Waze does — drivers could already report things like accidents, so this is just giving them another way to get important information into the system. In fact…

Reports claiming that Apple could buy social mapping service Waze have been rescinded, with the source of the rumor now saying such a deal is "not happening."

Они по-разному оформлены, неодинаково работают, бывают и 2D, и 3D, и всё сразу. Но основная цель всех - навигация. И все эти приложения, в первую очередь, средства ориентирования на местности....

Apple’s launch of its new mapping service, the ensuing backlash and management shakeup, have been anything but its proudest moments. Adding insult to injury, As Kim-Mai reported two weeks ago, Apple’s pain quickly turned into a gain for other map makers. However, for most, this was only a temporary blip. Only one company was able to sustain increased marketshare: Waze, which saw its share of U.S.

Apple CEO Tim Cook on Friday posted a public letter in the fashion of his predecessor, addressing the ongoing hullaballoo surrounding the company’s Maps app in iOS 6....

iOS 6 has some great features but the maps are not one. Thankfully there are good alternatives available right in Apple’s own App Store for detailed directions and points of interest. Also a bonus tip: how to turn an old iPhone 3GS into a standalone GPS.

The iPhone, being without a built-in turn-by-turn navigations app, has found itself with a number of third-party options.

There are over 130,000 apps in the App Store. About 100,000 of those expect you to pay cash money for a download. Sometimes it's worth it! Often, it's not. Prof. Dealzmodo's here to help you tell the difference. Oscar Wilde was right about cynics: they know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. On your next trip to the App Store, don't be cynical. Be smart—even if it means spending a little money.

Free, crowd-sourced turn-by-turn app Waze might not navigate quite as well as the Navigons and Telenavs of the world, but it's got one killer feature that they don't: cherries, to chomp with your car. The cherries (and various other icons) are part of Waze's new "Road Goodies" program, which essentially turns the navigation service—which has, by most counts, gotten a lot better over the past few months—into a simple point-gathering game. The point of these points? Well, the treasures are placed...

This week in the unseasonably entertaining App Store: Another bizarrely amazing music app; free turn-by-turn directions of questionable reliability; a fat man on a tightrope; an interesting take on the classic-est of classics; and a treat for our dear developers. Pac-Mac Remix: This is an official, sanctioned Pac-Man remake, and accordingly a pretty good one. Purists might be turned off by the 3D graphics, but the gameplay hasn't really changed; in fact, using finger flicks to change direction is a...
