Just a heads-up: Waze is owned by Google [1] now.

Waze was recommended by family for a trip to Israel.

The good news: Available for Windows Phone (which I had at that time)

The bad news: In order to use it access to my address book.

For a navigation app?

WHAT THE FUCK!

Peeves me that in order to control Spotify from Waze I have to agree to share my Waze location data w/ Spotify...

I really wish we had regulations that limited companies from blocking functionality behind data-walls.

That would be true if it was optional, not required.
