A Waze to Go

Gosh, I’m punny.

But seriously, sure, GPS is a useful tool for getting where you want to go when you don’t know how to get there. But have you ever followed your GPS’s route and ended up in a quagmire of a traffic jam.

Something new and better is on the way. Introducing Waze, “a social mobile application providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road. 100% powered by users, the more you drive, the better it gets. Join the community of drivers in your area today!

Have a windows mobile or symbian smartphone? Want to help us build the first driver-generated dynamic map? We’re seeking a group of enthusiastic users to participate in the very, very early stages of the waze project.

Do you enjoy playing a key role in early building of community-based products? Do you like finding bugs & errors, providing feedback on functionality and helping overcome all kinds of teething challenges? If this sounds like you, then come join in and help us to make waze the very best it can be!

You can register with any phone WM or Symbian phone, including: HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Diamond 2, HTC Fuze (Touch Pro), Smasung Omnia HD, HTC Tilt, Samsung Jack, Nokia E71x, Nokia N95 and more.”
