Product Summary: Waze (Draft 1)

Waze is a free GPS navigation application that grants users live updates of traffic, construction, speedcam, etc. With more people using the application, the better the live updates as Wazers are the ones who gather the data. Wazers can update others simply by having the application opened while driving. Other than the automated broadcast of traffic data, users can also report or share traffic accidents or hazards which may hinder the traveling experience of the everyday commuter. With this information shared to other Wazers in the area, it gives them an opportunity to change its route.

A team of map editors is also actively editing and ensuring the mapping of the app is up-to-date. Waze is also able to make use of traffic and routes data submitted by the users and learn to pick out the quickest path to get to a particular destination.
