If you use the Waze ride app, then you are in line to get directions in Roger Federer’s voice. The 20 times Grand Slam champion grew to be one of the most loved players during his career, winning various trophies and medals. Yet another major achievement for this tennis champion is the fact that he was ranked world No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for 310 weeks.

Roger Federer is not only one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but also certified polyglot (he's also on a Swiss coin, was voted most stylish man of the decade and was the best paid athlete in 2020, in case you were feeling good about yourself). Thanks to those skills, he's the first celebrity voice on Waze to give directions in no less than three languages (French, German and English), Google announced. Federer joins a host of personalities including Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Kevin Hart and others who've…

Electric vehicle owners will find this new feature on the navigation app quite helpful.With most regions switching from fuel-driven cars to electric options, there is a need to fit into the entire EV process.

It looks like Google-owned navigation app Waze is finally going to make it possible to add your EV and plug type into its app to find EV chargers along your route – but when, exactly? I have two EVs: a VW with a J1772 plug and one with a Tesla plug. Sometimes I use Waze on Apple CarPlay in the VW, so I’m really glad Waze is launching this. (It’s not necessary to use Waze in a Tesla to find EV chargers, of course.) Waze says in its news announcement today that its new EV charging station…

Google will now provide Waze users with the locations of charging stations tailored to their specific car.  Google has offered Waze users the ability to find charging stations along their drive since the end of 2021. But, this update is a small though significant change. Just share your car model and charging connectors with Google and Waze will thene show charging stations compatible with the given…
