Yes indeed, waze has gone Global. I’ve been a big fan for some time, using the waze app for iPhone for free navigation… while at the same time I’m crowd-sourcing my data, streaming live as I collect street data and share it with the service to help update and built a crowd-sources database and navigation network.Seom details from waze… Through a community-based approach, waze harnesses driver-generated data in order to build navigable road maps. The waze application runs on users’ smartphones, while automatically and anonymously sending back GPS points as they drive. This data is then used to build and continuously update the road grid itself, road changes, and more. All of this information is collected passively, but drivers can also take a more active role, by joining the map editing arm of the community online at world.waze.com.

Users can place 3D objects, twitter messages or websites into the real world and then share their creations with friends through social networks. Imagine you are able to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and place an animated, 3D T-Rex gobbling up cars. See more details here or at www.junaio.com
