Google acquired the awesome navigation app Waze earlier this year, and today we get to see the first benefits of this joining. Google Maps now shows incident reports from Waze users, and Waze has Google Search and street view.


The real-time incident reports are handy, letting you know when accidents, construction, road closures, and other things are happening on your route. You'll see them on both Android and iOS in a number of countries.


If you're still a Waze user, you should find that it now has better search results powered by Google, and the Waze Map Editor now has Google Street View and satellite imagery.
