Alternate Route
Very frustrating when Waze updates the route with a bunch of turns,including a few difficult left turns, and it results in a time savings of a minute or two. Sometimes it doesnt save any time at all. I suggest an option were you can choose a time savings minimum before waze will take you off your current route. For example I would prefer to stay on my current, more direct route, unless a time savings of 5 min is available then please change my route.
Thanks

I am for adding options. Users have different likes and dislikes, some don't mind the rerouting and some do, so there should be an option to turn on and turn off rerouting as a part of settings.

I thought to switch bc I hate google maps auto rerouting. Now I see Waze doing the same big brother tactic. Argh. How about you stop trying to control and force my behavior and show me a modicum of respect. There needs to be an option to disable auto rerouting or at least to default it to no. Make the suggestion and if I ignore it, my route doesnt change.
So far, I find no reason to switch from google maps to Waze. No way to turn off auto rerouting. No easy toggle between overview and Re center. No multipl stops. What a disappointment.

Not a bad idea. But maybe better, or in addition, would be to have a setting that allows the user to set a minimum amount of time desired to be saved by rerouting to automatically avoid rerouting that saves only a minute or whatever. I'm convinced that some reroutes only save 30 seconds or less.

100% this!
Twice in the last month I've been taken around towns just to save 1 min off my eta - arguably the town was really busy because everyone else was doing the same (I could see a line of wazers in ahead) and I think it slowed it down.
Unless the main road is completely blocked, I don't want a re-reoute -

I agree. I will pick a route and if I so much as back out of my parking spot to the left (when Waze expected me to go right) Waze will automatically reroute me to its preferred, default route even if I had already told it to plot an alternate one. This is especially frustrating because it happens so frequently, and more than once I've been rerouted onto the interstate in rush hour.

Offer option to select an easier driving route (or more familiar) if the time difference is not that significant (ex. <5 or <10 minutes)

הוספת אפשרות להימנע מניתוב דרך מסלול ארוך יותר פיזית אך כזה שחוסך זמן, אלא אם הזמן הנחסך יהיה מעל מספר מסוים של דקות
כדאי שתהיה בחירה של המשתמש בהגדרות לגבי זמן החיסכון שבגינו הוא יעדיף להאריך או לסבך את הדרך. -

I have my preferred routes. I am open to using toll roads if I save enough time. For example, the drive to my cottage is 1:35 min. Id like to Waze to suggest a new route if it saves me 15 min or more. Then I would be willing to pay the $10 toll. I don't want the suggestion to save 3 minutes. Let me set the threshold when I initially choose my route.

This is a great idea. An even further improvement on this would be to set a dollar amount per minute, or per hour, that you're willing to pay to take toll roads.

In Waze there are always up to 3 alternative routes shown - doesn't matter if I have 10 km to go or 500km. This causes the 3 alternative routes to be calculated in random places, not where user needs.
In the scenario where I have a long distance like 500km set it would be very much needed that to be able to check alternative route in specific distance range - for example 3 options to get out from here for the next 30km - as I want to get out of traffic jams in the current city.

Add an option to determine how complex you're willing the routes to be. Some may want a route that is really complex provided it saves time. Other times you don't mind taking an extra minute or two if it avoids a couple turns.
This can be helpful if you're in an area you don't really know, so you'd prefer less turns, or a place where the turns tend to be difficult, like low viability, etc.

When driving Waze will automatically reroute you, even if the new route saves you just 3 minutes.
In the past, you were able to hit "No thanks" when Waze was about to reroute you. Now it just does it automatically, you are not allowed to say no.
Bring back the option to hit "no" to be rerouted!
I am tired of fighting with Waze and having to constantly change my route back to my original route while driving. Even though the new route may be 2 minutes faster, it also has an extra $4 in tolls and an extra 10 miles in length.
I would rather save the money and get there 2 minutes later. Let us decide if we want to reroute!!!!

I wish when Waze suggests a detour, it also mentions how much time will be saved or added to the trip right away so the driver can make an informed decision to take or not take the detour suggested. Many a times we have taken a detour just to realize we barely saved much time but lost the convenience of staying on a highway, close to rest stops.

A setting like, “show alternate route if it saves - (X number of minutes”(X=a selectable number of minutes).

Give users the ability to set a minimum (range is fine) time saved before rerouting. Currently Waze will put me on side streets, back roads… to save just a few minutes. In reality these roads with fewer Waze travelers are unpredictable and rarely return the savings promised.

Dear waze, please do not re-route me through the south side of chicago off of I80 and risk my life to save me 2 minutes. Waze needs more option to avoid certain things. For instance, in additon to things like, avoid toll roads, avoid unpaved roads, so how about....
AVOID OPEN AIR DRUG MARKETS!!!!! Brilliant! -

Agree also give an alternate entrance to the same highway or another street route to highway !
or let us say NO WAZE try another routeOne of my trips, Waze tells me to make all these turns to get me to the route I know I do not want and is out of my way. I keep driving my way and it FINALLY will change its route to my way to get to highway.
I should be able to say NO cause I know the other way is worse. There should be more options available.

במצב היום המסלול שבחרת בו משתנה תוך כדי נסיעה גם במצב אבסורדי שאורך המסלול הבסיסי 10 קמ הוא יכול להתארך ל 20 קמ כדי לחסוך חצי דקה [אי אפשר לבדוק בזמן הנסיעה ] לכן מוצע שבהגדרות יהיה סולם של אחוזים שיציין כמות האחוזים שיתווספו לאורך הדרך כתלות לסולם מקביל של אחוזים שיציין את כמות הזמן שמתווספת לדרך.כל משתמש יוכל לשלוט ב-2 סולמות האחוזים באופן כללי ולגבי כל נסיעה ספצפית
