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

Many times waze gets stuck on certain alternate routes without considering other good viable options. Adding more than 3 alternate route options would be very helpful.

I like this idea a lot except sometimes even 5 min can make a big difference when your in a hurry but if you are not in a hurry 5 min is not a big deal. It would be amazing to have the option

אם בשביל 4-5 דקות של קיצור הנסיעה אני צריך לנסוע עוד עשרה קילומטר, אני רוצה
להחליט לפני שנבחר באופן אוטומטי המסלול עבורי, מה גם שלפעמים הזמן מתקצר ולבסוף הדרך הקצרה גם מהירה יותר...

שמעתי את ההצעה הזאת מכמה משתמשים שהצטערו מאוד כמה היו צריכים לנסוע בשביל חסכון קטן כל כך (אם בכלל) , אני עורך מפה ומנהל איזור בירושלים ומקבל פידבקים ממשתמשים באפליקציה שלא יודעים כמה קל להציע הצעה לשיפור, תודה ובהצלחה, תמשיכו כך צוות וייז, אוהבים אתכם..

If for 4-5 minutes of shortening the trip I have to travel another ten kilometers, I want
  Decide before automatically selected track for me, especially since sometimes the time is shortened and finally the short way is also faster ...

  I heard this offer from a few users who were very sorry how much they had to travel for such a small savings (if any). I edit a map and manage an area in Jerusalem and get feedback from users on the app who do not know how easy it is to offer an improvement. Thank you Waze team and good luck. ..

Have the possibility to select what is the minimal amount of time you want to spare before recalculating a new itinerary.

This could be a value in minutes set by the user in the setup menu.

For example, if the user does specify 15 mins, waze will never change the itinerary if there are alternative routes available under this value.

Permit preferred routes - at least for "Home" and "Work" settings, and allow user-defined time difference to determine when rerouting is recommended.
Waze tries to send me to work through a nightmare intersection during rush hour, because it's sometimes 2 minutes faster than the much-easier route. It also sends me through a school zone at pick-up time because it's 1 minute faster (sometimes) than a turn where only 2-3 cars often go per stoplight cycle. If I had a preferred route with a time-savings setting of 3 minutes, I would know if TODAY I really do need to take the alternate route.

Allow users to configure a setting that tells Waze not to suggest an alternate route unless the route is xx% shorter.

Many times Waze will suggest circuitous alternate routes that end up saving me a few minutes but add aggravation and overhead if the route is not familiar or is on weird byways.

I'd love to tell Waze don't bother suggesting an alternate or re-route unless it saves me more than 10% of my trip time. (Some users might want to configure that % higher or lower).

I would like to suggest creating a Waze account where the user can determine a value to be considered when setting the shortest or fastest route.
For example, if the user registers 5 minutes the APP will check if the difference between the fastest and the shortest route is equal to or less than 5 minutes if yes, will choose the shortest route. If not, choose the fastest. This will help reduce fuel consumption and reduce pollution.

Nothing more annoying than when you look down and Waze is telling you to go a different direction and it is only saving you two minutes. Create a feature where a user can enter a certain number of minutes saved before being re-routed.

Je partage également cette idée. J'ai hâte que Waze ajoute cette possibilité !!

Hello.
In my opinion, in the tens of kilometers I make every week, it turns out that sometimes, with a gap of no more than 1 minute, you turn me into the toll road (the main Carmel Tunnels) and do not allow me to choose between several alternatives.
There is a message that is canceled after a few seconds, so you can not track the true meaning of the alternatives.
I suggest that you be notified before starting a number of routes when the gap between the track and the track does not exceed 5 minutes and allow me to choose my own destination.
Another thing in the cancellation settings of a feature that prevents receiving bursting messages on events on the way, vehicle stopped etc. is not actually performed.
What is more important is that now on every tap on the screen to confirm or cancel the meaning is a violation of traffic regulations.
Please cancel it.
Alternatively, a welcome voice message.
Thanks

I'm a woman and driving home alone last night in winter Waze sent me on a very complicated route on dark streets through a bad part of Boston. If I had had car trouble situation could have been very bad. Standard roads were fine and not far. Not everyone wants to get there 5 min faster at all costs!!!!!!!! Besides the gps is not fail safe.

Love the app.
But per default, the app chooses the fastest way. Even when just gaining 1 or 2 minutes you end up driving about 10 km more than needed.
My suggestion is to add in the settings an option, something like "Choose the fastest way/roads if I gain more than X min on my route".

yes, please !

User preference required to set time saved by re-routing off main roads. Suggest 5 minutes or 10% of journey time.

we should have the ability to specify a tolerance (amount in minutes) to allow waze to search for a route that favors closer to the speed limit, that way we don't need to be sitting in traffic, sometimes when I try an alternative path, it might just be 1-2 minutes extra, and I don't have to sit in traffic anymore, significantly decreasing wear on the car, and stress on the driver!

I would vote for that option too but I think one should be more precise on how to achieve the alternate route options: Maybe waze should take speed limits and traffic lights into account.
So options should be:
1. Use shortest route
2. Use waze's traditional routing model for fastest route (long time average of segment travel time)
3. Use new routing model based on infos editable on map (speed limit, traffic light average delay)
4. Use user's segment heat map (segments which a user took more often are given priority).

Should I post this as a new idea?
3. Use

Acho que quando pomos o destino, poderiam apresentar 1 lista das possibilidades de trajecto (ex se pusermos Amoreiras pela A5, punham saindo em Paço de Arcos X minutos, não saindo e continuando pela A5 são X minutos etc) quanto tempo demoraríamos por cada um. Para podermos ver se vale a pena a diferença de tempo!
E também quando pomos o destino e aparece resumido o k vamos encontrar pelo caminho, podia dar para carregando nos símbolos e ver o k cada 1 é? O atenção a quê? Etc... E se há acidente onde é? E não ter k percorrer mapa com dedo até chegar ao acidente por ex, para ver onde é!
Acho k são sugestões úteis que fazem falta!
Obrigada

I was recently stuck in traffic on the motorway/freeway and tried the suggest routes option. I needed it to tell me how long it would take to come off and use the smaller roads or stay on the road. Instead it gave me some possible route options that began ten miles away. An option like this would help when trying to navigate crashes / traffic jams.

Allow user to define the alternate route by time. E.g. if it is less then 15 minute saving use current route, if it is more then 15 minutes the make a suggestIon to the navigation choices. The idea here is if the advantage is only 5 minutes keep the route chosen. So the user can set that threshold 5,10,15,20 minutes reroute option.
