Waze is faster because its data is crowd sourced vs Google relying on satellite and robotic cars. They rely on users actual movement for traffic speed etc and their data is much faster / more real time because of this. Same for the road info. As someone mentioned, both Waze and Google maps are owned by Google, but different divisions. We recently moved into Lake Denham and only had one initial issue with UPS due to their systems, and it was quickly fixed as folks manually entered addresses into the systems.
