    So, I finally got the Android update on my phone, and I've been experimenting with the Andriod app. Does anyone know if there is a way to set Waze as the navigation app that the Google app uses? Google owns Waze, so this should be possible somehow.

    Bummer. You know, though, I thought I had read that Waze features/services/functions were now incorporated into Google Maps. I tried to find the article, but no luck.

    Google Maps does use Waze data as far as traffic speeds and such goes. Problem is that Waze reads street names correctly. In my area Google Maps refers to almost all roads by the state route number, not the actual road name, so the voice guided directions can be confusing.
