Symbian’s Waze Social GPS
Waze is an application for Symbian-powered handsets that provides GPS and navigation features. But Waze stands apart from most GPS systems in many ways. It can provide real time traffic warnings submitted by other Waze users, making it extremely accurate. When you are driving under the speed limit, Waze will ask if there is heavy traffic, then records your answer into their database, helping fellow drivers on the same highways. It is also an ever expanding archive of maps, being that if you discover new roads it also records them and becomes viewable to other users as well. features cute, cartoon like graphics that make it fun to use.
The best part is, Waze is 100% free to use. You can download the application directly to your phone from http://m.Waze.com. The only catch is that Waze does not store it’s maps locally, it relies on your phone’s internet connection, so it is best if you have an unlimited data transfer plan. It means you will also run into some issues when you are out of range of a cellphone tower, which could be a serious problem if you are on backroads and are relying entirely upon Waze to guide you.
