Go to "show on map" under settings, then display settings and you can turn anything you want on or off. Settings is the bottom left symbol on the left menu.

Good to know, I also tire of hearing about cars on the side of the road.

The system relies on users to report radar locations ? Do the users here usually report what they see?

I find the turn by turn directions using WAZE much better and more accurate than the maps in the PCM. Perhaps I have outdated maps? I used both on a recent trip around NYC and Westchester and had more confidence in the WAZE directions, they seemed to take short cuts and dynamically route based on traffic conditions.

That's my experience also. I don't even use the Nav in my cars anymore.

Online Waze and Trapster maps

I used the online version of Waze's map to investigate one of my frequently traveled routes. It did not show two fixed red-light cameras that have been in place for over a year. Trapster's online map shows them both.


In planning a route in advance through NYC, Trapster's online map showed several red-light cameras that Waze's online map did not.


Is a test based on the Waze and Trapster online maps unreasonable? Perhaps I should actually drive at least the local route with both and see if Waze identifies the red-light cameras then.


I am not interested in navigation, just the ability to locate LE hazards.

My father used trapster for a few years. He seemed excited to know about all the police roadblocks in Manhattan, worked out for him. Waze does that too?
