Waze
Branded as 'social GPS and maps', Waze is in its most basic form a turn-by-turn sat nav app, but it does a lot more than that. Other Waze users appear on the map and can report incidents and speed camera times, plus Waze can analyse information like journey times to advise drivers of alternatives. Users can also place points of interest for others to pick up – marking events, shortcuts, scenic routes or whatever else they want.
