Google Maps and Waze are getting new alert and navigation features

Google on Tuesday began rolling out some pretty significant changes to both of its navigation apps, Google Maps and Waze. In Maps, it’s now easier to report hazards like crashes, police, or construction by tapping a yellow triangle icon while driving is underway, popping up a refreshed menu of hazard types. Once you’ve selected one, you’ll still have a brief window to cancel in case you made a mistake.
