I have become a Wazer, Wazian… a Waze user. Waze is a social GPS navigation system for iPhone, Android, WinMo and Symbian phones.
Waze offers turn by turn navigation and road condition updates. From the Waze site – Waze is a social mobile application providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road. 100% powered by users, the more you drive, the better it gets.

Waze is FREE(2) .

You can get Waze here (or just to learn more).
