The navigation app has added a lot of nostalgic vibes. To look like a groovy lava lamp on the map for other drivers and to match yourself with a peace-loving flower power van on your own screen, you can now choose newmoods.

You can mix and match eras as well. Just in case you've lived them all. You could switch to a beige all-in-one PC from the 90s if you wanted to.

I had to go with the “Rad Racer” car, which shares the same name of the NES game from 1987.

If you prefer to live in just the era you have experienced or are a stickler for proper end-to-end themes, you could do that. You have an aerobics workout voice and a mood that turns you into a retro boombox for the 80s. You can get a pop star to take you to your destination and give you an autograph when you get there.

The voicer has their own quirky lines when you get to where you are going.

Moods and Car choices. Hard to choose between the boom box or old school PC!

The music hits from the 90s were brought to US drivers through the partnership with Waze. UK drivers get 70s tracks and a station that plays 80s music while they drive in France. You can still jam to the entire of Slippery When Wet through the default settings.

It will be there for a limited time and is available in English. There are a lot of options for customization. The company added celebrity voices like Arnold Schwarzenegger and even fictional characters like Master Chief.
