Unless you use an iphone.. In that case you must manually switch back to the Uber app..
Like Uber Crack said, you can change your default navigation settings in the Uber app. I have mine set to Waze. On my phone (Android) this is how it works: After I hit accept/start trip, the Uber app will automatically show its own navigation to the riders location/destination. If I hit the navigation button it will open Waze in a new window and automatically enter the address shown in the Uber app into Waze. It should work the same if you set Google Maps as default. I don't know what the navigation button does if you set Uber nav as default.
is there a reason waze didnt come up as an option?
not if the arrows and metres disappear when i press navigate. Was the question
sounds like you might have a slow connection, disable wifi and do a speedtest, the arrows shouldnt dissapear
Perhaps you have to first download waze and have it in your phone Idk. I'm just a Google girl
if I didn't have it I wouldn't be able to uber. I don't get along with the uber nav. I tied waze a while ago but couldn't dig it though lots of people love it AFAIK neither Google Maps or Waze will show up unless they're in the phone already.Perhaps you have to first download waze and have it in your phone Idk.

What was it about it? If you dont mind. Also did you find google is slower to calculate than uber app?Perhaps you have to first download waze and have it in your phone Idk. I'm just a Google girl
Uber nav may be improved now, but it used to be clueless in my market. It wouldn't show turns in time sometimes (a lag). It would suggest turns onto one way streets that weren't possible. I couldn't see where I was going in advance like I can on Google.
In my market even on uber nav the map might spin for nearly a minute while it calibrates.
yes thats what happened to me on my second day. SO i guess it hasnt improved. Thank youUber nav may be improved now, but it used to be clueless in my market.

We have major freeway interchanges here. Uber nav would say "take 50 west" then when I got on the interchange it would show "50 east". At that point it would be unsafe to suddenly change lanes. I tried to pan out on the uber nav and it wouldn't let me.
Twice I asked uber to refund riders due to navigation on freeway errors. It's all good and well to refund people's money but how do you refund their valuable time? (this was before up front pricing) One time support didn't refund my rider.
Finally, the font size and boldness on the top left where it runs down how many miles til the next turn - I can't see it clearly and I can on Google.
If you're using uber nav and not having any problems with it, by all means use it.
Yes it takes 15-45 seconds for Google maps to load when I first hit nav. I have got in the habit of hitting it asap once I've established I have the right rider(s). It wasn't that long before, only the past few months, not sure why.
If it takes a while I tell the riders, "I'm just waiting for the GPS to load, which way should we start going?" At pick up, the uber pick up page does show the initial direction which is great. Often that's all I need.
I think, experiment and see what works for you on your phone in your market with your eyesight.
waze and uber nav caibrate much faster, google maps takes a while esp for auto added poolsUber nav may be improved now, but it used to be clueless in my market.

The map you use won't affect pings in any way. At least, I've never heard of such a thing (but I'm always on board with any paranoias haha
) I very seriously doubt it though. Sometimes pings are fewer because of time of day, location, other drivers out there etc.
Wow is all I can say.
