It’s that time of the year when Santa Claus is coming to town, and the city is ready to welcome him. The updated Waze app now allows users to modify GPS settings while driving, unlike before. Also, there is now a Santa option on the map, instead of an arrow. However, these options are only available if you live in the United States. The standard mode will be available for everyone else, and they will have to make do with it.
The first thing you’ll see when you tap on Drive with Santa in My Waze is two options, which is choosing between Santa and Mrs. Claus. While Santa has experience with different cultures and speaks multiple languages, including English, French, and Spanish across the globe. Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus is not as lucky. The navigational details will only be provided in English if you live in the United States. She really should get out more.
It’s not the end of Christmas excitement. A mood can also be selected after you have selected your character. This includes Santa, Mrs. Claus, Naughty, and Nice.
Waze maps will display you differently from other drivers if you activate this feature. Additionally, you can choose either Santa’s infamous sleigh or Mrs. Claus’s C-wagon as your vehicle. Customizing both characters is also possible by adjusting the voice settings.
This is a great way to get into the festive spirit, particularly when you’re searching for gifts for family and friends. If you ping your location to let your friends know where you are, Santa appears to be “heading” towards them.
Santa’s update will only be available for a limited time, with your previous settings restored after Christmas.
