I’m not sure if you’re joking, but Waze has been owned by Google for over a decade. It’s not a real alternative at this point.

Waze covering up important areas of the map (such as junctions I was supposed to get off at) with adverts for local businesses was what made me rapidly give up on it.

Google going full on with the enshitification here
