As the restrictions imposed on the community quarantine becomes less strict, Waze is adding new features to help keep drivers safe during the pandemic.
With the help of Waze’s Crisis Response team and volunteer Map Editors, here are the new in-app features:
- New Notification: Users will now be greeted with a “Drive only if necessary” notification, alongside a “Stay safe and healthy. Follow local travel guidance and only drive if you must.” text.
- Drive-Thrus and Curbside Pickups: Waze can now identify the places that allow drive-thru and curbside pickups, letting Wazers know where they can get essential items.
- COVID-19 Donation Centers: Users can now search donation centers by typing “Donation center drop-off” on the search bar.
- Updated Reference Laboratories: Waze has pinned 59 reference laboratories, with more on the way.
- COVID-19 Landing Page: To help governments, academics, and the interested public, Waze is making its COVID-19 Impact Dashboard available internally. Interested parties can check out this page to see the data, current trends, and more.
