Sometimes Waze will suggest an alternative route without suggesting how much time it saves compared to the conventional route. I know that if it switches routes in the middle of navigation it will tell you that it saves you 1 min or 2 minutes, etc. But sometimes from the get go waze will suggest that I get off the freeway and use backroads but doesn't tell me how much time that will save me over using the freeway. I would rather stay on the freeway than take my chances with stoplights on backroads if I know it might only save me 2-3 minutes. On the other hand, if taking backroads saves me 10-15 minutes then I would be ok with taking them.

E.g. Once a route is set, do not reroute, due to traffic or any other condition, as long as the original route is navigable, unless it's saving a set number of minutes (say 5mins) or adds only a set number of miles (5 miles) etc.

bonjour,
il pourrait être très utile de pouvoir aller jusqu’à un itinéraire avec plusieurs étapes. Actuellement une seule est proposée.

I would like to be able to set a minimum time difference before triggering a 'faster route', or a maximum mileage difference. For instance, if a route is 2 minutes faster, I prefer to stay on my current route. If it is 10 minutes faster, maybe I'll change course. I prefer some routes over others, and may have a higher tolerance for some changes over others (based on how much I prefer one route or dislike another). Also, I may know that Waze miscalculates the other routes regularly, so want to set a higher threshold for suggesting the 'faster route' so I only get it when it will make a real difference in my commute.

I also may not be willing to drive 20 miles farther to save the 10 minutes, so being able to set a maximum difference in distance would be nice too.

Setup de minutos = Não mudar de rota se a rota alternativa for economizar abaixo de x minutos (no estilo de navegação "mais rápida")

Waze wants to be smart and easy to use, and claims to automatically learn your favorite alternative routes. But, it is failing to learn my alternate routes, and I'd prefer it not try to be so smart and just let me specify some, even if I need to login to a website from my laptop to do so.

Couldn't agree more!

I need more route choices! For example i'm in san juan, i want to see how long it will take me via edsa or via manila. All 3 choices u show are only via manila. U shud make option to add via what area or road so we can add a route we are considering

Currently, Waze give you option to navigate in the fastest way or the shortest. That’s it.
Naturally, this give you sometimes absurd results.
My idea is like the Google “I’m feeling lucky” option. If the user choose this option, it will take under consideration several parameters.
For example, for 2 minutes faster route, it will not direct you into toll road etc.

Offer a route "drag" option to allow driver to choose a different route that is not suggested in the alternate route options.
Sometimes Waze will send you on a complicated route to save a few minutes, and not show the simple way's time (which may be just a few minutes longer). There's no way to force the system to show additional routes.

cease blind adherance?

City driving is different from suburban or freeway driving, due to increased traffic, and more importantly, unpredictable pedestrians and bikes, that are not part of Waze's data. Turning left-then right-then left-then right to save 1 minute often actually takes longer; changing lanes within one block can be impossible in heavy traffic, and waiting for pedestrians to cross the street when you want to turn negates any time savings. It may be a big process, but having a different algorithm for city rush hour driving would be beneficial.

Would like to see a tolerance setting added. For example, don't switch me off my usual route unless a new route saves me at least x minutes.

I frequently get routed to a major highway with the resulting route taking longer AND having more miles than my usual route (which typically end up being option #3). I cant figure out how to stop this. It's whacked! Other navi apps have something called an optimal route, I.e. sacrificing a few minutes for a much shorter route is OK. But driving 10 miles more to save less than a minute on a 35 minute drive is NOT OK.

With this option, users will not be asked to drive an extra 3 miles in order to save 1 minute, which is what happens with the "fastest" route style option. X minutes = Y extra miles (extra compared to the shortest route). This saves time, money, and is most energy responsible.

let us be able to view them on the map also with choies them

Instead of redirecting my route to save (for example) two minutes, I'd like waze to know what routes I prefer and only divert me if an alternate route saves me a time amount of my choosing.

For example, only reroute me if the alternate route saves me 10 minutes. In other words, only take me through the sticks if its really worth my while...and I'll tell you what's worth my while.

I have the client set to choose the shortest route. Sometimes when I look at the routes there a re a number of alternatives with by similar ETAs. While I'm usually keen to get to get to my destination as a soon as possible I don't want to go on a long detour to save one or two minutes.

Can the routing server identify such a situation and make a sensible choice. I guess similar issues may be in play for toll roads.

Perhaps you could consider travelling 5 miles to save 1 minute excessive but anything less than this ratio is acceptable.

There are already many options which affect a Wazer's routing, and many many more suggested on these forums. But sometimes a user will deactivate features without realizing their worth. For example, I never want to take a toll road, so I have those disabled -- but if I was stuck in traffic, and a toll road could save me some ridiculous amount of time, I might consider it, despite my usual preference.

So I would propose that any preferences which affect navigation can sort of "self-activate." Perhaps the user could set a time or distance delta threshold before the option flips on. Or perhaps when Waze determines that it really really is in the driver's best interest, it can suggest using that feature (rather than just rerouting).

There should be more that 3 suggesting routes that include and don't include highway and tolls!
