Google Maps and Waze have 5 new features. Here's how they can help you


Finding parking and avoiding traffic just got a lot easier, thanks to new features in Google's GPS apps.

Artie Beaty/ZDNETWhether you're using them for a road trip or your daily commute to work, Google Maps and Waze make avoiding traffic a lot easier. Both apps got even better on Wednesday thanks to five new features, including one that gives you a heads-up about traffic that could affect you even if you're not currently at that location. If roads are closed for a parade or a big concert is causing traffic, Waze will tell you what's happening and suggest an alternate route if needed.
