ViaMichelin App or website; Waze app

Hi everyone:

ViaMichelin app or website
I want to use ViaMichelin to plan my driving in Italy but it won't let me enter any address. If I want to check from a Siena B&B to Florence airport, I can only enter 53100 Siena Italy to 50100 Firenze Italy but I know this goes to Florence and not the airport. Is there any how-to document that people have found? I'm at a lost here. The same with using the website

Waze app
Any having experience with using Waze in Italy? Any feedback?

Thank you in advance.

ViaMichelin app or the website?

Waze works well throughout Europe. You will need a good data plan.

@nigel thank you. Tim Tourist s SIM card has 200 min, 50 gb ? Would that be adequate?

50 gig? That's enough for about a year

I don’t use Waze much in the US, but Italians swear by it, so I use it there. It’s particularly helpful at warning you about hidden speed cameras, accidents, stalled vehicles, etc.

I also use Google Maps, which I use in the US more often. Just as great with the directions but not as accurate with speed cameras and other warnings. All Italian taxi drivers use Waze.

Thank you @Nigel

I don't have much data on my phone and so having 50 gb data on the Tim Tourist would be heaven :-)

Thank you @Roberto da Firenze
Yes Waze is useful with its hidden speed camera, accident, police locations. Glad to hear it's used in Italy and vouched by taxi drivers.
I use it in Canada for the above reasons.

ViaMichelin app I know is good for gas & toll estimation as well as trying to find interesting sites (I've read that in the RS forum & else where.) Does anyone know to enter an address (Italian) properly in the app or the desktop version? So far I can only enter the postal code and the city and Italy.

I was able to enter the address where I lived in Florence and the address where my cousin lives in a smaller town in the Arezzo province without any problem. Not sure what address you are trying to enter and is not working for you.

I forgot to suggest number last - it is second nature to me.... glad it is working now
