Popular navigation app Waze is leaning further into Google's Gemini AI with the launch of a new motorcycle-specific mode. The company touts more efficient route guidance than before, though the feature is currently available in only a limited number of countries.
Even someone like me who loves unfolding a map still relies on navigation in unfamiliar territory. Everyone's probably had a hair-raising moment from guidance built around cars. I genuinely welcome more modes that account for how a motorcycle actually rides. This is a good update that makes the time spent planning where to ride next even more enjoyable.

What's actually different about a bike-specific mode versus the existing car routing?
Prioritizing narrow streets or routes with fewer traffic lights is a classic bike-optimized routing move.
If route suggestion accuracy improves for mountain passes and the like, that's just plain welcome.
Wish the article specified which countries are getting this limited rollout first.
Motorcycle-specific route guidance is a feature I've quietly been waiting for.
Google Maps and Yahoo Car Navi will probably beef up their bike modes too, following this.
It says Gemini's involved, but there's no real specifics on how the substance actually changes.
