Waze is one of the applications supposed to make going from point A to point B as convenient as possible, providing you both with directions to do this easily and data that can eventually help you avoid traffic jams and other road hazards.
To be able to offer the right route for every user, Waze also features integration with other third-party services, and this week, the application has received new goodies for a bunch of lucky users.
Waze now supports AutoSweep and EasyTrip passes in the Philippines so that the application can offer better routes, even on toll roads.
Drivers with RFID stickers can head over to the settings screen in Waze and look for a menu called Toll & HOV passes. In this menu, they can add any local passes they have, with the app then looking for the correct routes on both Android and iOS.
Waze has been updated with quite a lot of important features lately, including lane guidance and support for the CarPlay dashboard.
While lane guidance is clearly inspired by Google Maps, this feature is available on all platforms where Waze currently runs, including mobile devices as well as also Android Auto and CarPlay.
Furthermore, Waze now fully supports the CarPlay dashboard, which means it can run side by side with other apps on the multi-view screen. The dashboard support for third parties was announced by Apple earlier this year, essentially allowing developers out there to run their software on CarPlay alongside other apps like music players, calendars, and phone calls.
On the other hand, it doesn’t necessarily mean everything is running smoothly for Waze users, and in the last few months, we’ve highlighted plenty of issues breaking down the experience behind the wheel. One of the most recent problems concerns the dashboard support we told you about earlier, with the car icon sometimes displayed in the middle of the screen, thus making it impossible to see the alerts ahead.
