Waze is adding Gemini-powered features including conversational road reports, personalized route suggestions based on driving history, and a new Motorcycle mode optimized for two-wheeler navigation. The personalized navigation feature, Gemini search capabilities, conversational map reporting, and Motorcycle mode are rolling out now globally on Android and iOS, with Motorcycle mode initially available in seven countries. Users can now report road updates and find destinations through natural speech, receive customized routes matching their preferences, and access a "less chatty" mode that reduces voice interruptions during drives.
