yep. it's great and pretty accurate for interstate and busy highway driving. not so much for backroad.



i dont get it to be honest. unless im mistaken you have to constantly check to see if there is a cop coming up.

When i drive to Tennessee I'm not going to check Waze every 5 minutes in a 5 hour trip.

You can use it like garmin and see cops ahead of you. It also gives audio alerts. I have Bluetooth in my truck and it will tell me when a cop is up ahead.

What don't you get?

It is a gps app. I put it the address I'm going too and it gives me directions over BT while also telling me where cops are

So you never use GPS? You can let it run in the background and it will alert you when cops are coming over the speakers

Nah. Mine says aloud, "Warning, police ahead".

Just like it says, "Warning, vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead".

Do you maybe have sound or alerts turned off?

ETA: I believe you have to be using it as GPS.. like have an end destination typed in. I use Spotify for music anyway, so my phone is already plugged in over my speakers.
