    If they forced them to split Waze off and make it independent again it probably could, it’s probably the only non default app I see people use regularly

      Oh, did they actually keep Waze? I assumed they bought it to kill it.

        Shockingly they kept Waze around. It sounds like they believe the Waze brand is too strong to be worth killing off in favor of maps, but they have been implementing new features into each and cross pollinating between the two

        I think they might be using it as a beta testing ground for their back end features, the brand is also pretty valuable in and of itself. The traffic avoidance is much more aggressive than Google maps
