Having arrived in Dieppe on a travelling holiday I started Waze and was a little annoyed that it was quite laggy. My position on the map didn’t reflect the reality of where I was.
It was challenging enough to drive in France anyhow, but without a working navigation tool, it was a little more difficult.
However the next time I started Waze it worked fine.
It is illegal to use a speed camera detection system in France, but this was easy to turn off in Waze.
Routing avoiding toll roads was also relatively easy. It was a much nicer and more interesting journey. Yes it takes longer, but I found the driving experience so much better and more interesting than when we came back through Belgium on their motorways (no tolls).
