Waze and Lincoln want to help you relax while you drive this holiday season

With the holiday season comes traffic, there's just so much to do, and sometimes you need to be out and about to get things done. Waze wants to help you keep your cool while you're out on the road.  The navigation app partnered with Lincoln for a new turn-by-turn navigation voice that doubles as a "calm and mindfulness guide."

Available until December 29, the new voice can be found by heading into Settings, then Voice Direction. Look for the option Lincoln Canada.
