Waze was nice.  You used to be able to use the web version to navigate a
route.  Google Maps + traffic warnings/alerts overlaid.  When Google bought
them, that went away and navigation is only done on the phone app.  In real
time so it needs an internet connection while in use.

I have a wifi only Android.  No data when in the car.  If I have Wifi, I
usually have my computer w/ a bigger screen.  Maybe the Waze info will get
added into maps.
