Over ten years after buying Waze, Google has finally been blending the platform with its own navigation app, with the latest step being the addition of live Waze incident reports to Google Maps.
Back in July, Google revealed plans to simplify incident reporting by merging insights from both Maps and Waze users. Around the same time, Waze announced plans to share its user reports directly with Maps. Now, with Waze incident reports officially live on Maps, that vision is becoming a reality.
A post on the Maps subreddit recently highlighted Waze-sourced incident alerts, like heads-ups about nearby police presence, popping up on Maps (via 9to5Google). The alert also makes it clear that the report came from a Waze user.
