I think of it this way: Google maps is a map program. It will offer the location of streets, just like maps on paper do.
Waze is a gps program. It will give you exact directions, routes, alternate routes, traffic warnings, and live updates, from point A to point B.
Because of the main purpose of Waze, it's not the best program for simple mapping. And because of the main purpose of Google, it isn't the best program for directions. Together, they are an amazing, powerful system. That's probably why they're both owned by Alphabet Inc.
