United Arab Emirates: It uses the same GPS and cannot solve spoofing. Compare road signs and another source instead of following a bad position.
Bulgaria: Use it for current driving conditions, but obey official signs and check BGTOLL or the road authority for closures and repairs.
Costa Rica: Switch Waze's language to Spanish to see local road names the way Costa Ricans refer to them.
Dominican Republic: Use it as a live traffic aid, not a safety guarantee. Keep data available, avoid night driving, and reject shortcuts onto poorly lit or visibly damaged roads.
Israel: If you rent a car, Waze is non-negotiable. Israeli traffic can be hectic, and Waze's real-time rerouting will save you serious time, especially around Tel Aviv and on Highway 1 to Jerusalem.
Jamaica: Use it as a live traffic aid, not a safety guarantee. Keep data available, stay on suitable main roads, and avoid night driving and floodwater.
Malaysia: Locals swear by Waze for KL rush-hour traffic and road hazard alerts.
Panama: Essential during rush hour on the Corredor Sur. Panama City traffic can be brutal without live updates.
Philippines: Waze's local community is highly active in Manila. Knows about closures minutes before Google Maps.
Puerto Rico: Use it for traffic, not as proof a road is suitable. Keep live data, avoid floodwater and night mountain shortcuts, and check the rental toll policy.
Paraguay: Many Paraguayan streets lack signage. Waze's community-reported updates are significantly more reliable in Greater Asunción.
Romania: Romanian drivers rely heavily on Waze. Speed camera alerts are especially accurate.
