Waze has established itself as one of the best navigation apps, standing out mainly for its precision in guiding you from one place to another. Therefore, it is not surprising that many drivers trust it to avoid traffic jams and other unforeseen events on the road.
And it is that Its functions indicate with almost millimetric precision the incidents that you may encounter on the road.: accidents, DGT radars, works, traffic jams… Vital information to reach your destination in the shortest way and in the shortest time possible.
But, what you may not know is that Waze is developing a new feature that will end up crushing Google Maps and cementing it as the most complete tool for drivers.
The new Waze feature that surpasses Google Maps
Waze has just launched, in the testing phase, a game-changing feature: conversational reports, also known as incident reports. And no, it is not a simple update.
This novelty comes from the hand of artificial intelligence, specifically Gemini, Google’s powerful artificial intelligence, so it is a real blow to the table that leaves the navigation offered, today, by Google Maps in its infancy.
Allows you to report any incident on the road, simply by speaking normallywithout the need to memorize any specific phrase. It’s as simple as pressing a button and saying something like, «There’s a lot of traffic on my route» or «There’s an accident ahead.»

The best of all is that Gemini learns from your interactions and adapts to your speaking style. The more you use it, the more accurate it will be, which increases the reliability of your reports. Additionally, if your sentence is not completely clear, Waze may ask you for more details to improve the report.
Just press the report button and speak naturally. If the AI needs more details, it will ask you simple questions to better contextualize the situation. For example, he might ask you, «In what way is the car broken?»
In this way, the information will be much more precise and useful for other drivers. Gemini in Waze will learn to understand local expressions, such as those we use in Spain to report incidents, without the need to use fixed commands.
This new feature adds to the already popular Waze featuressuch as real-time navigation, traffic alerts, gas station price information, the option to share routes with friends, and speed limit and radar warnings.
With the incorporation of conversational reports, the app becomes even more intuitive and complete. Although Google Maps has tried to compete with similar features, such as the ability to report incidents, it cannot match the accuracy and ease of use that Waze offers thanks to the Gemini integration.
In this way, with the arrival of conversational reports, Waze consolidates itself as the most complete navigation app on the marketa truly intelligent co-pilot while you are behind the wheel.
