Google on Tuesday announced that it is
incorporating real-time traffic data from Waze into its popular Google
Maps mobile application.
"Users of Google Maps for Mobile will now benefit from real time
incident reports from Waze users," explained Brian McClendon, vice
president of Google Maps. "This means when Wazers report accidents,
construction, road closures and more on Waze, the updates will also
appear on the Google Maps app for Android and iOS in Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Mexico, Panama, Peru,
Switzerland, UK and the US."
Waze provides real-time, crowdsourced traffic reports and was
acquired by Google in June. Tuesday's announcement represents one of the
first visible fruits of that union.
