Waze has a feature that allows you to add new roads in yourself and upload them for public use. When I bought my new home in Phillips, none of our streets were on any of the maps. I drove all our streets with my cart and Waze app and added them in, along with a number of house addresses.

In the early days of our villas, when a delivery had to be made we would tell the driver to use Waze.

The interesting part is that google owns both Google maps and Waze!

Hard to get upset at any of the cell phone mapping apps - how much do you actually pay for them? Zero.
