People also ask, how does Google Maps know there is an accident?
Google Maps continuously combines the data coming in from all the cars on the road and sends it back by way of those colored lines on the traffic layers. Drivers use the Waze app to report traffic incidents including accidents, disabled vehicles, slowdowns and even speed traps.
Subsequently, question is, how does GPS know there is traffic? Google Maps can determine how heavy traffic is by the number of devices (usually your cell phone) in a certain location while driving. The more cell traffic on the road will show up as condensed traffic, hence it will show up as a traffic jam.

Is Waze better than Google Maps?
Waze is community-based, Google Maps is more data-based. Waze is pretty much just for cars, Google Maps offers walking, driving, biking, and public transportation directions. They also have built-in “Explore” features that allow users to see events, reviews, photos, points of interest, etc.
