144 million Americans spend 52 minutes per day in the car. 76% of which are spent alone.- Mary Meeker, Kleiner Perkins

@AndyEllwood

Waze is a community of 40,000,000 people that hate traffic and are working together to outsmart it.

@AndyEllwood

The average Waze user drives with Waze for ~440 minutes (7+ hours) per month.

Or, said another way, Waze was used 5,800,000,000 minutes last month.

@AndyEllwood

Because driving is more than just traffic, the Waze community also provides alerts to police speed traps, roadside hazards, and traffic jams on the road ahead.

@AndyEllwood

All of our maps are based on real drivers around the world, Waze knows about and navigates around all of the ever-changing variables that may come up between you and where you’re going.

At Waze, we are striving to save everyone five minutes a day and we’re thrilled that so many people around the world even joined us to help do their part.

If it’s good for the Brand, but not good for the User, It’s not good for the Brand.
