Yes! There's a setting on the app that shows posted speed limit and your current speed...I set mine to warn at 10 over and my speed would flash red when I've become an outlaw...

download Waze and play with it...
Why not, here goes....

Well if you look at that way, we're all well used Hoes since the invention of WWW lol...
I guess some of us more than others. I keep my internet footprint as small as possible. And I mask as much as possible. So I guess I am an AMH (Anonymous Minimalist Hoe :LOL:).

I have not had a comprehensive physical in 10 years since medical records went online. And when we visit our Concierge Doctor, we write our medical record transcripts ourselves and send them to the doctor. Only what we write gets put into the national government medical db.

Small footprint.

Unless you're living off grid, no phone or internet you're being tracked. Heck, just driving (stop light cameras) or walking into a store (store cameras) you're being tracked every moment of your daily life. I have many other things in my life that are more concerning than worrying about the government tracking what I do!

Now I'm off to put on my tin foil hat for the election tomorrow! :captain::ninja:

It's not about who votes, it about who counts the votes!
We have computers do that here in Maricopa County. Also monitored by Dem and GOP officials. The facility can be viewed online, as they have cameras everywhere here.
No conspiracy theories or tin foil hats here. I am confident in our county recorder and his office's ability to safely and accurately handle our ballots.

Ok, so I got Waze to show the speed zone, but there is no elevation. Did a DuckDuck search and confirmed it is not available.

Well, I figured out how to change the battery. Ordered one from Amazon for $15! Arrives Sunday. Hope it works! Also hope I can return the GPS I ordered.

I really like some of the features of Waze, it works better than Google Maps, but it doesn't have the little compass on the left side. I like having a compass that is more accurate than the built-in one on the Ranger.

Never had an issue with the built in compass on the Ranger. Also think of it this way, you have a spare if one takes a dump!! ?

My issue with the Ranger compass is you only get N S E W, NE, SE, NW, SW. The one on Google maps is constantly moving as your direction changes. More accurate.

I am beginning to prefer Waze to Google Maps. Neither shows elevation, but I was able to get the compass and speed zone to show on Waze. It seems to display speed zone in places where my GPS would not.
