I had to give up Waze over xmas because it refused to give me the 1 hour, straight down the motorway route, and instead tried to send me a bizarre route that would take 2.5 hours. Switched to Apple Maps and haven't gone back, though I do miss the fact that Waze shows you your current speed.

> though I do miss the fact that Waze shows you your current speed.

this is the only reason I use waze!

I feel like I’m missing something here - presumably your vehicle has a speedometer? What does the Waze speed dial give you over this?

Unless you mean that it has the speed limit too, if so I agree that it’s a must have, along with the speed camera alerts.

It gives you your current speed, the speed limit, and flashes warns when you go over the limit. I find it more helpful than plain speedometer because sometimes you don't notice speed limit changes
