The increasingly popular (and free) navigation app Waze has just had an update on both iOS and Android.

The main feature of the new update is the fuel prices. The new feature, currently only for users in the USA, lists the current fuel prices at gas stations along your route and will take you via the cheapest if you need it.

While this is nothing new in itself, a few satnavs have had fuel prices before this, the Waze team have taken a slightly different approach. What's the number one complaint people have about the fuel prices on, say, TomTom's Live Services? That's right, accuracy and lack of frequent updates. Waze's fuel-price solution, like their mapping, is crowd-sourced.

When users add to their mapping data they get points; likewise when users update their local fuel prices they also get points. What do points mean? Not prizes I'm afraid... Just a happy feeling when you creep up the highscore table. There are also special offers for Wazers where you can get money-off coupons too. The update is live now in the Apple AppStore and on Google Play.
