What is Waze?
Waze is a community-driven GPS navigation app that provides real-time traffic updates, route optimization, and turn-by-turn directions. Powered by user-submitted reports—such as accidents, speed traps, and road closures—Waze dynamically reroutes you to avoid delays, helping drivers save time and fuel. Though not a dedicated mileage tracker, Waze logs your trip history and distances, which can be exported or referenced for informal mileage reporting.
FAQ
Waze relies on its large user community to submit live reports of traffic conditions, hazards, and police activity. These crowd-sourced updates are combined with anonymous speed and location data from active users to calculate optimal routes and estimated arrival times.
While Waze isn’t built for formal mileage logs, it does store your recent trip history showing start/end points and distances. You can manually reference or export this history for general mileage reference, but it doesn’t categorize trips as business or personal.
Waze is available as a free app on iOS and Android devices. It can also run in a browser via Waze’s Live Map for planning routes on desktop.
