Waze has added a new feature to its real-time traffic mapping app that answers a timeless question for commuters: “Will this traffic jam ever end?”
It will, and Waze can estimate just how long it will take to break free by tracking real-time GPS data from its community of drivers. The latest update to Waze’s iOS and Android versions now includes a “Time in Traffic” bar that displays how far your car has progressed through the jam and counts down the minutes to freedom.
It’s a handy tweak for those moments when the app can’t find a detour around the nastiest snarls.
