The iPhone and Apple CarPlay version of Google-owned Waze has just received a software update.
But, short of rolling out any major new features, the update to version 7.4 is little more than a bug fix, albeit a welcome one all the same.

So in the long term, Apple is trying to compete against both Google Maps and Waze, though for now, its app remains limited to the iOS ecosystem.
Meanwhile, however, others are also building alternative products. TomTom has already launched its hazard warnings with push notification support and the Indian government is working with domestic partners to build a rival to Google Maps.
