Who would prefer Waze Navigation?

[m3gt2]

I am using Teslamirror app for ios and android to stream Waze in the Tesla browser. For now it is the best solution to get Waze integrated in my Tesla Model 3.

You dont need any extra hardware and it will not use more mobile data than you need for Waze.

That looks very interesting!

I find Waze distracting - tonnes of little smiley faces all over the map, every stopped car and minor incident needlessly highlighted. The Tesla navigation works well for me. Only thing is it doesn't update the traffic data as often as Google Maps on my phone. That said, when Google suggest 'alternative' routes to save 4 mins of queueing, it tends to just make everything worse as it sends hundreds of people on wild goose chase country lane-clogging trip that drives locals mad. Unless the motorway is totally blocked it's generally much easier and less stressful just to stay in the queue.

Two points for you, @Jonny Ringo

1. Waze is owned by Google and I do suspect they use the same traffic and routing data.
2. There is a site you can use in the car's browser, TeslaWaze Tesla Traffic Incidents and Information

I found the latter too slow, but that is the ancient browser [in MCU1 anyway].

Stay Safe,


Tony

Still slow with mcu2

I find the routing algorithm in the Tesla nav system suboptimal. My house is in the middle of a two mile country B road which has an A road at either end. There is also a very narrow single track road that intersects with my B road. I always try to avoid the single track road, which is neither quicker nor shorter distance to my home. Invariably, from whichever side of my B road I approach, the Tesla suggests routing me around and in via the single track lane. Often this would be a longer path (both distance and time). As soon as I turn onto the B road it corrects itself, but this insistence on going around and taking the single track road gives me no confidence in the Tesla navigation algorithm when I am driving on unfamiliar roads and at a minimum I find myself also running Apple Maps or Waze on my phone to confirm the car routing.

I definitely need it! Thanks!

Please let me know what settings you are using both in Waze and in Teslamirror to get the best experience.

you can turn of each/all of the map overlays and notifications you're not interested in

I would like the option. I was stuck in local traffic a couple of nights ago for 45 minutes because the police had closed the A1 in Hendon. All the Tesla Satnav wanted me to do was go round the block and come out onto the (blocked) A1 again. I had to get Waze out to ask it for alternative routes.

Does the Tesla Nav do this as I could not figure out how?

Waze users would mark the route as blocked and then subsequent travellers would be re-routed automatically. That's a nice feature Tesla does not have.

Also, SPEED CAMERA ALERTS!!!

Speed camera alerts is the only thing I miss from Waze, it's brilliant.

Do you have any involvement with this teslamirror site? You are going around bumping threads all around TMC basically promoting this solution.

yes I am promoting this app as a happy user. I am looking for other people using it to exchange user experiences. Please let me know what you think

Never used Waze so can't really vote, but I can tell you that coming from the system in my old Disco makes the native system in the M3 feel like perfection. The algorithm used by Land Rover (at the time) is absolute bobbins, whoever programmed that wants to be forced to live with it for a while, then tarred and feathered for good measure!
