Travel Tips – WAZE saved my trip

June 22, 2015 by Laurie Deppa Leave a Comment


I took a trip to Panama this year and rented a car.  Upon receiving my car, I was told that google maps didn’t work in Panama.  My Panamanian friend even said “there is no GPS” in Panama.  She was wrong about that part thank goodness because a gentleman overheard me and said to use “WAZE”.  “WAZE is the world’s largest community-based traffic and navigation app”, according to the company.  It saved my butt, let me tell you.  I didn’t get lost once, and believe me, as my friend said the signage is TERRIBLE!  It was also able to talk to me in English or Spanish – which was perfect as sometimes my Spanish friend would play co-pilot.

I recently used it on a trip to Virginia Beach – not because I needed directions – but it’s usually very accurate about where the police are waiting ;-0.  It even told me where there were potholes to avoid.

I’m a believer!  Check out WAZE.
