Since GPS arrived in our lives, it seems we cannot live without it. Not only is it used to make great trips, but it has become something everyday that can even be used to find a store in our neighborhood. We no longer know what it means to get lost in a place, because thanks to this new friend we can detect our location for a few seconds..
Today we use the GPS of our smartphone with great frequency, since if we live in big cities or for work reasons we are forced to move around many places we do not know. Google Maps is known for being one of the most used and popular GPS among users, but it is true that there are some alternatives to Maps that can give us a lot of useful information when we are driving.
In this case Waze is a free application that lets you know the state of the road on our trip and, something that many applications are not capable of, offer us this data offline. This is something really interesting since we do not always have a network connection, especially if we are in a foreign country, from which it is very difficult to establish this connection..
This is why today in TechnoWikis we will explain step by step how to download maps with Waze traffic information on your mobile.
For this we will have to follow these steps:
