Christmas and the festive holidays are just around the corner. As usual, we can expect a flood of cars on the road. There’s nothing worse that getting stuck on a jammed highway all the way to your destination. Waze is here to help with some insightful data so you can get home safely and quickly.
That’s not to say you can’t sing Christmas carols along your journey though. Thanks to integration with Spotify, Deezer, NPR One, TuneIN, Stitcher or Scribd, you can sing along to your favourite Christmas songs or merry podcasts.
