Have a habit of getting lost while walking or driving? Don't spring for a GPS unit; grab your smartphone and the Waze app instead.

Waze offers turn-by-turn voice navigation and includes real-time traffic updates and current road conditions including accidents, hazards, police and other events.

Users can post traffic conditions in their area, so conditions are always up to date.

Not only can you update traffic information, you can post photos, share information on social media and connect with other drivers. What's more, Waze will also tell you where the cheapest gas is on your route.

You should make sure that you have your phone's charger with you when you use it in the car. GPS features can dramatically drain your battery. If you don't use the app for a while, Waze will automatically shut down to preserve power.
