Virtual maps apps have become an essential tool in our lives to reach another or to find a specific location. Without a doubt, Google Maps is the great reference in this regard, although little by little, its sister platform, Waze, is gaining more followers.
The main difference between both apps that are owned by Google, is that Maps is designed to move from one side to another in any way, while Waze is designed only for driving by car and therefore their interface and their functions are focused on improving this aspect.
For that reason if you use Waze, it is quite likely that you have questioned Why sometimes the app indicates to follow the route that you know is the fastest to reach your destinationsomething strange, because the goal is to get to the place as soon as possible.
The reason for this is because The app controls many more information flows than youand although on a road there may be many more traffic lights, or the allowance speed allowed is greater by the way, there are other elements and details that determine how to get faster to the destination.
This is because Waze is connected to Huge amounts of traffic information, accidents, deviations and other data in real time That when the route calculates, there are times when a path in which more kilometers are made at the end ends up faster.
For example, if you are in a jam, Waze deviates you along an alternative route that, even if it is a little longer, but you will get to your destination before. As we said the app always offers you the fastest route at that moment, even if it is not the shortest, And even in the middle of driving, if it detects a faster route you can propose to change it in real time.
And it’s not just that, but Waze also analyzes the driving habits of each userto create a kind of profile in which Identify aspects such as average speed, how it conducts or how it takes them curves, and then customize the routes that suggests to these.
For example, if you detect that you like to go fast, you are more likely to suggest routes with highways or highways where you can go at more speed because you know that the driver can take advantage of his driving style and arrive before.
