I also use Waze more than I use my radar detector. What makes Waze effective are the individual users who reports road conditions, traffic, police locations etc. it warns you if police or other road information are in a certain location and when it was last reported. If you're in that reported area you're able to confirm or update the information so other Waze users have the latest information. When you first turn on Waze it informs you hw many users are in the area. When I'm on long trips I'll use my radar detector and only use Waze when I feel like doing some spirited driving.

Downfall of Waze is it uses your data plan on your phone.
