Waze has announced a new feature that will alert you when you're driving over the speed limit.
Today we’re introducing a new feature in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Czech Republic, El Salvador, France, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, Trinidad, Tobago and Uruguay that helps you avoid tickets and drive more safely by notifying you when you’re going over the speed limit (rest of world coming soon.) Whether you’re driving on new and unfamiliar roads or a place where speed limits change with the season, you’ll no longer be in the dark. Waze will keep you aware of your speed, reminding you to slow down and drive safely.
To see speed limits you don’t need to change a thing. If you’re driving over the limit, a visual alert will appear on the Waze speedometer. It will stay there until your speed drops below the limit. In settings you can customize the alert to appear either when the speed limit is reached, or when your speed exceeds the limit by 5, 10 or 15%.
You can download Waze from the App Store for free.
This is not a good thing, who's to say that law-enforcement can't tap into the application eventually and or Google will share the information with law-enforcement openly so they know who speeding and who's not. I will be deleting Waze shortly if this is where it's going. This doesn't bother anyone else?
if you are worried about being tracked, then dont use Waze at all.. it knows all the places you go
for that matter, dont even carry a phone with GPS capability if you dont want your locations to be logged
really, using a cell phone creates many logs of your location in many different apps.. of course if youre not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about :-)
as far is whether google will give the cops your location at the time you are speeding.. thats the least of your worries, if theres a cop nearby, he will know youre speeding anyway, and if hes not nearby, well, you could slow down before he ever finds you
bottom line.. worry if you like, but, we are all being tracked.. and nobody really cares.. unless you do something really bad and they want to figure out your history
