Over the years, I remember getting upset with friends who were always late for appointments. Wherever we would go they would always be a half hour late. They didn’t mean to do it, but they were the type that just had no concept of time. On the flip side, I have a girlfriend who questions my every step any time we plan to meet up. She does not like to wait alone, so she makes sure we synchronize our clocks. I go out of my way to get to the destination early because I enjoy seeing the pleasure on her face when she realizes that I am there before her.

There have been a number of times when we started out early to meet someone only to get caught in heavy traffic making us an hour or so late. I hate that panicky feeling knowing that people are waiting. When you finally get to your destination they are staring at you wondering why you are so dysfunctional. The more you try to explain yourself, the more it sounds like you are fibbing.

Leave it to some software developer to come up with an app for both iOS and Android that all your family and friends can use to see real-time ETAs for everyone you’re meeting. It also tells you who has already arrived and parked at the destination. Waze is a social GPS and life traffic app that lets you know the location and timing of those you are about to meet or pick up, and be able to share the same info back with them. Yes, there is a privacy protection option so you can hide anytime you want to.

Waze has over 29 million drivers and is one of the largest groups of drivers in the world. Watch the video. You will be amazed at what this app can do.
