Waze, the crowdsourcing navigation app, is continuing to find ways to make frustrating road bumps a little more bearable. Waze users – also known as "Wazers" – provide information on things like stopped cars, road work, gas prices and police activity during their commutes. The addition of Waze to the Google portfolio was expected to help Google improve features on its own navigation app, Google Maps.
