Bug: Chosen route changes to shortest route after stopping without warning
I've discovered that if I choose one of the alternate routes (if it is longer), and start navigating that route, if I go off the route and stop, say, for lunch, when I return to Waze it has rerouted to the default shortest route rather than the original alternate I had chosen. In one case I was unaware of this at first and it started taking me in the opposite direction in order to connect to what was (originally) the shortest route, but due to my current location was now a much longer route.
That or the "shortest route" default should always adjust itself based on the current location, rather than the location when navigation first began.
