    For driving, Waze easily beats Gmaps.

    For travel details, Gmaps wins.

    Most of the time here it isn't even that the base data is bad, it's just that UIs behave horribly. Especially stuff like searching for things.

    Then there's also that real-time data is just.. missing. No info on live traffic or even longer term stuff like construction.
