Portable GPS


A couple of months ago, I told you about one of my favorite Samsung Galaxy Tab apps. Now, I'm letting you all know about another app that I love, love, love. Welcome,  WAZE. It is a free mobile GPS app for your smartphone that has 3D maps, real-time traffic, etc. No need to purchase a separate gadget from car or portable gps providers.  As this site mentions :
Waze is as interactive as you want it to be - by simply driving with the app open on your phone, you passively contribute traffic and other road data that waze incorporates to keep the map 100% live, but you can also take a more active role by sharing road reports on accidents,  police traps, or any other hazards along the way, helping to give other users in the area a 'heads-up' about what's to come. And the first time you receive a “speedtrap ahead” alert that was reported by another wazer, you'll understand the advantages of drivers working together for the common good.
The benefits of social driving continue with localized driving groups, Foursquare, Twitter & Facebook integrations, alongside other cool geo-gaming elements. And because it's user-generated, the more people who use waze, the better (and more addictive!) it gets, so join the over 3 million drivers, worldwide, who’re contributing to the local driving communities in their areas, and hit the road using Waze today!
 This app has been tried and tested by me and the husband. During one of our road and food trips to Divisoria and Binondo, my husband dared me to test this app. Of course we knew how to get there but I wanted to see if the description in the site holds true. Yeah, WAZE rocks.
