One more reason I need a smartphone!
From USA Today:
"The first benefits of Google's $1 billion acquisition of map software service Waze will appear today.
Real-time traffic reports from Waze app users will now appear on the Google Maps app for Apple iOS and Android, says a blog post from Google.
The reports include accidents, road closures, construction and other incidents.
Meanwhile, Waze users will gain access to Google search and Street View. The updates to both services will be available today.
In
June, Google scooped up the Israeli startup for $1 billion in an effort
to bolster its already powerful Google Maps service. Social network
Facebook had been rumored to consider an acquisition of Waze prior to
the deal.
Waze is a social mapping app that provides turn-by-turn
directions and real-time incident reports filed by its community. The
app boasts about 30 million users."
