Waze: an iPhone App for the Road

Tel Aviv has many innovative start-ups, which are developing successful mobile applications. For example, Waze is a type of Wikipedia for mapping. “This application is not only a local hit, but a rising force in the United States, Italy and in other global markets.”

The maps are community-sourced and rely on inputs from users and map-editors. Its trend-setting traffic component notifies users about real time road conditions such as accidents, police check points, road hazards and other conditions.
