In this day and age, practically everyone uses a GPS app on their phone to navigate their way through life. Why not spice things up by turning it into a game, and have C-3PO himself, the best droid co-pilot in the galaxy guide you through traffic to your next destination as you earn points collecting road goodies like stormtroopers, TIE fighers, droids, and more along the way? The Force is with Waze this month, and from now through December 31st you can experience the Star Wars version of Waze road navigation! You can download Waze, the largest community based traffic and navigation app for free here: https://www.waze.com/download.
I’ve had Waze since I first got a smart phone, and have loved the app. As they put it: “Waze is the world’s largest community-based traffic and navigation app with more than 50 million users and a social following of over 1.5 million people! At its core, Waze is all about contributing to the ‘common good’ out there on the road. By connecting drivers to one another, Waze helps people create local driving communities that work together to improve the quality of everyone’s daily driving. That might mean helping them avoid the frustration of sitting in traffic, cluing them in to unexpected road closures or shaving five minutes off of their regular commute by showing them new routes they never even knew about.”
I just downloaded and tried out the Star Wars version of the app, and I LOVE it! It feels exactly as is an overly worried C-3PO is guiding you through traffic, and I may or may not have directed some Han Solo-like sarcastic quips about fear of spaceship travels at my phone.
One of my favorites in Waze is how the app shows you upcoming obstacles, road-side hazards, and other potential difficulties on your route. I haven’t experienced this real time updating of everything that might impact your drive in any other app. I like how Waze rewards you with points in a system that basically gamefies your normally boring commute, making it fun to use.
In the Star Wars version of the app, you look for things like where R2-D2 and BB-8 are hiding in your town with a commute full of stormtroopers, TIE fighters, lightsabers, and more to make your commute full of Star Wars fun.
