I tried using Waze and I never liked it. Sure, the various notifications people can leave are nice, but the overall look, interface and different route choices were never intuitive to me like on Google maps.
Yeah, honestly Waze has been mostly abandoned by Google ever since they acquired it. It still doesn't even have lane guidance, something literally every other GPS app or even my 8 year old Garmin GPS has. Google Maps is starting to integrate the features like "police reported ahead" etc. so I'm suspending within the next year or so I'm going to ditch Waze and switch to Google Maps.
BTW, Google Maps works fine, but good luck finding an easy to use, cheap USB GPS unit for Windows. There are plenty of cheap UPS GPS chips on Amazon but they are more for marine use and so while there is free software out there to convert them to normal GPS for use with something like Windows 10 Maps (which works really well as real time car nav, I tried it) it's buggy. I just bought a used Getac S400 G2 wannabe-Panasonic-Toughbook laptop on eBay, it may or may not have a GPS chip, we'll see. But in the mean time using Waze (or even Google Maps) from my Android phone using Samsung DeX is free, easy, and so far, reliable.
