Waze works perfectly fine for me

Anyone writing about apps compatibility should specify if it's with or without the play services

Can you even run Waze/GMaps without Play services?

Yes.

		For more precision: Waze is fairly easy to run without play services. GMaps I haven't yet found a way to run, but also haven't looked in quite some time.
