Waze is the crowdsourced navigation app to share real-time traffic and road tips that help make everyone’s commute safer, smarter and cheaper. Users, aka "Wazers," can simply drive with Waze open on their mobile device while the app collects and compiles their data, or they can actively report what they see (hands free, of course). The mission is simple: for everyone to ‘get the best route, every day.’
Now part of Google, Waze continues to boost their technology and extend their reach for the global betterment of commuting.

Marking the occasion at the celebrated IAC Building was a life-sized Waze logo and wordmark produced by Duggal. The freestanding graphics caught the eyes of traffic and passersby while welcoming invitees to the #WazeW10 launch.
