Waze Can Make Mother’s Day More Special with Features

Global community-based traffic and navigation app Waze made some special updates this Mother’s Day, not just to honor the matriarchs, but to help them out on her daily routines on the road.

Here are some of the ways you can show love to your driving mommas:

What better way to tell Nanays 'I love you!' then to record your own Waze navigation voice to guide her on the road. To enable voice customization on Waze, head on over to Advanced Settings > Sound & Voice > Voice Directions. No worries, Waze will guide you through the recording process to ensure that the directions she receives will remain clear and accurate. Once recorded, your custom Waze voice pack can also be easily shared with the rest of your family.

Never miss an important family appointment with the Waze 'Planned Drives.' This feature will help Nanay plan her upcoming trips. She'll know exactly when to leave, and if she's a lady who lives by her calendar, then she can sync it with her smartphone's calendars and Facebook events.

Aside from navigating through traffic, Waze is also a trusted co-pilot for every essential pit stop while driving. Take the 'Gas Stations & Prices' feature for instance: choose her preferred petrol type and station, and Waze will show price updates and station locations along her driving route. Our Nanays are master multitaskers, juggling work with many other household responsibilities. Whether it's stocking up on groceries or finding the nearest hospitals during emergencies, Waze has got her back by recommending those nearest at any given location, including available parking lots.

Instead of calling her endlessly to check up on her, encourage Nanay to use Waze's 'Send ETA' feature. Running late or unsure of the arrival time? Tap 'Send ETA' at the bottom of the Waze map to let family members follow her drive in real-time via text or WhatsApp, so you'll never have to worry. You can also send the same to her, so she'll know when to expect you.
