My biggest complaint, which is very frustrating, is the lack of picture in picture (PiP) feature on Samsung Galaxy. Between driving and passenger, being able to allow for Waze to float on my screen while looking for food, gas, etc (on road trips) is such an inconvenience. Which at times sends me to open Google maps as they do have that feature. Also, there are times I open up a pinned location and the GPS takes me to a completely different place. Inconsistent calibration.

I use it all the time! But, now I'm frustrated with it because it won't let me search for a faster route. Also, when I search for businesses that are local to me, it gives me options that don't match what I'm looking for and usually several hundred miles away. I searched for coffee on my way driving down to Key West and the closest option that I got was in Key largo when I was in North Florida at the time. I was trying to find a local sporting goods store and it suggested somewhere in NC.

overall it's a great navigation app and i strongly prefer it to anything else. i wish it was at least programmed to populate recent destinations automatically when you do am initial search. the recent destinations category isn't helpful bc it's listed chronologically and doesn't make for fast searching if you're trying to find a destination from a week ago.
