NAVIGATION app Waze has rolled out an update which is tempting enough for even die-hard Google Maps users.
It’s designed to make driving more fun.

Waze, bought by Google for $1.3billion (£1billion) in 2013, has introduced new customisation options to bring some light hearted humour into a drive.
Users can now choose Zodiac map themes.
It means the in-app spoken navigation instructions are read aloud in a tone that is tailored to each star sign.
For example, the Aries voice is more upbeat and Libra is more relaxed.
However, these are currently only available in English, with no timeline yet to widen the feature into other languages.
The Google Maps rival app can also let pop stars Christina Aguilera, Kehlani, or Boy George narrate your drive.
The new Customise Your Drive feature lets users change their in-app car and person icon, for when users are driving or walking.
Astrology fans may choose to have their star sign symbol on the roof of their new car icon.
It replaces the standard blue arrow and blue car icon that many have grown tired of.
It should be noted that there might be a few bugs in the beginning.
Waze rolled out the update just days ago, so it’s possible there are a few hang-ups the app needs to iron out.
If you encounter a recurring flaw, it’s best to delete and redownload the app.
