Ok...connected to Waze at SBR..it did work and had my location spot on....used wifi not data. If in the car you would have to have a decent data package Or you could download the offline Google Maps just before you leave home. (The maps expire after a certain length of time) How to instructions here : https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6291838?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en Android and Apple instructions are on same page / separate tabs
After every Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says WTF.

I tried it today away from SBR wifi....in Phillipsburg and Grand Case. It does not work with out a data (internet/cell) connection ....so if you have a phone that can be used all over Island without wifi then IN THEORY it would work...but....it would need data from MANY other connected Waze users to produce a traffic report ..one or two moving users won't tell you anything...Otherwise just use downloaded Google maps for maps not traffic

Another option is a great app called "Maps.me".....I use it in Paris all the time and it works great. It will download the maps automatically from the area you are in. Great for walking in cities but also useful when travelling . No data connection needed for use (just for initial country map download)

No wifi or data connection needed at all once you have the maps downloaded. Pretty neat app especially for big cities in Europe.....
