JAKARTA Waze, an alternative Google Maps application, offers a feature that makes it easier for users to drive, namely the voice command feature. With this ability, users don't need to focus on their cellphones.

Drivers can stay focused on the road while getting directions from Waze. Users can also order various things while on the way. Here are a number of orders that drivers need to know, according to How to Geek.

Direct to Office or Home

One of the best features of Waze is the 'Take me home' or 'Take me to the office' order. Just by saying the order, Waze will immediately provide directions.

This order will simplify the user's activities. They no longer need to browse many entries when they need instructions to the two places they visit the most because Waze will choose its location intelligently.

Critical Location Search

When drivers need an urgent place, such as a gas station or restaurant, they can rely on Waze. Jaya users need to say 'Look for a gas station' or 'Look for a nearby restaurant'.

Unlike Maps, which often misleads users, Waze will show the real location. That way, users can still reach the expected place even if they are in a foreign area.

Real-Time Arrival Time Update

There are times when drivers can't see the dashboard, but they need to know their estimated arrival time. They can ask questions like 'How much is my estimated travel time?' or 'How long is this trip?'.

The question will trigger an app reaction. Waze will tell users how much longer they need to be on the road to achieve the chosen destination.

Ending Routes Easy

As important as starting the route, ending navigation quickly is also very necessary. Instead of pressing the cross button in the upper right corner which sometimes shifts the map, users can use voice commands.

If you use the voice command 'Stop navigation', the route will end immediately. That way, users no longer need to open the app interface just to end navigation.
