App: Waze Navigation & Live Traffic By Waze Inc

Waze is available for iPhone and Android phone

Waze is a navigation/GPS and traffic app. It uses crowd sourcing to distribute real time traffic data. This means that other drivers report wrecks, construction and other traffic issues. The apps will map your drive based on the fasted route at that exact moment. While driving on the route, the app will continue to check for shorter and faster routes. This app can save you much time and frustration. While using the app, you can also provide information about traffic issues you witness for other users.

Tech Tip: Clearing the Cache

Android: https://www.techspot.com/article/1407-android-performance-tweaks/

Most experts recommend that you keep 10-15 percent of your phone’s storage available at all times. Even if you have plenty of storage on your phone, you can improve the performance by removing junk and unused apps. To free up space, delete apps you do not use. You should also delete any videos and photos you do not want to save and move other photos and videos to cloud storage. After removing apps, photos and videos, if you need additional space, you can also clear the cache data from your phone.

On an Android phone:

Go to the storage section of your phone’s settings menu. From there, tap cached data and click clear or OK to wipe away the cache for every app. Often this can free several gigabytes of storage space.

iPhone/iPad:

On an iPad or iPhone, open the settings app. Scroll down to the fifth set of topics. Find “Safari” and tap it. Scroll down and tap “Clear History and Website Data” and then click “Clear History and Data”.
