BACK OFF, Waze

[Slant Eyed Polack]

I occasionally find Waze to be useful. I used it for the first time in a while today, and discovered that the antiseptic female voice I've been perfectly happy with had been replaced by something with more personality. Too MUCH personality. Think: Barry White coming on to Pam Grier. When I arrived, Barry said, in his most You-know-you-I-want-you-naked Barry voice: "You've reached your destination. I can't join you from here. But remember - it's all about the journey. Not the destination."

If you think you need the "You know I want you naked" Barry voice, A) keep it to yourself. B) it's the "70s DJ" option on the Waze voice roster.

Carry on.

I don't even know what that is.
I've been too busy lately attempting to figure out the META AI thing on Facebook, which is annoying as hell.

It's a mapping app. Lotta Uber & Lyft drivers use it.

Are you a Uber and Lyft driver?

That's a big negatory, good buddy.

Waze is awesome but uses a lot of my "data" so I typically use Apple Maps.

Apple Maps doesn't chew up my smartphone data plan. But Waze is much better for instant traffic updates, police activity, etc.

I have not noticed a voice change, but the last time I used Waze was probably at least a month ago.
