Making the most of Waze and Google Maps together - How?

[C70R]

We're setting off on a three-day trip around Wales tomorrow, and like all Cub Scouts I've prepared (complicated) routes in Google Maps.

However, as a huge fan of Waze, I'd like to still use it to get speed camera and police alerts - in case we 'make progress', you know...

I can't be the first person to have this issue - how have others solved it?

I might see whether I can push the apps to split-screen, and whether that's usable.
Or possibly whether I can run Waze with no route in the background and still get the relevant alerts.

Keen for thoughts/experiences.

Google maps uses Wazes speed camera alerts now.

That's weird. I've never seen that - must be quite recent?

Does it do the same for police?

If like me you have the annoying voice on Google Maps turned off, switch it over to Alerts Only for speed camera alerts.

It's not very good though. I drive past loads of cameras with no alerts.

and it gives you false positives, like when there's a camera on the other side of the road, and not on yours!

They've had the waze traffic alerts on Google Maps for ages.

Surprised, there's not more links seeing as google own waze...

A little bit of playing around shows me that split-screen isn't the worst compromise in the world, although it's a bit fiddly at times.
