Actually the modified version has extra skins. The original skins are only 3058 LOC.

I have checked the content of the APK of a slightly modified version of Waze [1].

It looks like Lua is used for two purposes: skins and small scripts [2].

According to cloc, the "scripts" directory contains 425 lines of Lua code,
while the scripts directory contains 9064 lines.

There is evidence from Google cached versions of the Web forum that it is used at least for UI themes.

Perhaps it's used internally?

It has come to our attention that Waze uses Lua.
Indeed, waze-4-35-0-15.apk does include Lua 5.3.3 and contains a few
Lua scripts.
However, we couldn't find any information online about this at all.
Does anyone know a reference or details about the use of Lua in Waze?
