Google has started integrating Waze’s crowdsourced incident reports into Google Maps, starting with police alerts.
Google Maps users are now seeing police reports sourced from Waze drivers directly within the app.
These alerts are clearly attributed to “Waze drivers” and include a prompt to confirm if the reported incident is still present.
This new feature is part of Google’s ongoing efforts to improve incident reporting in Google Maps.
Google Maps is getting a helpful boost from its crowdsourced sibling, Waze. As promised earlier this year, Google Maps has started to incorporate incident reports from Waze users directly into its navigation interface. This means that while you’re cruising along, Google Maps might now warn you about upcoming speed traps, accidents, or other hazards reported by Waze users.
