Waze Social GPS Maps & Traffic App Review !

Waze was founded in 2008 by a Israeli company called Uri Levine . Its a world fastest growing GPS navigation app. Recently Google has announced that it bought Waze for around $1.1 billion (but still price figure is not confirmed ), Its a strong move for both of the companies.Previously Apple , Facebook and some other companies were also interested in buying Waze .It’s a smart move that keeps the startup out of Apple’s clutches and gives Google a chance to grow (and benefit from) one of the few truly useful, important mobile apps to emerge over the past five years.
