Signal deviation from "normal" work-home route
So I am using Waze mostly for avoiding traffic going to and from work, I suppose like most people. It would be helpful to have a feature where it gives an audible alert if it is plotting a course that is different from the "normal" one to avoid traffic. I imagine this could work by determining the best route assuming no significant traffic, and giving an alert if it is plotting a different course than that. Same thing goes for changes in mid-course due to accidents, jams, etc., that occur after I start. Normal navigation announcements aren't too useful on a regular route like this; would prefer to have announcements when there is something out of the ordinary--even ONLY those announcements.

Agree with this as well. I want silence when I am on my usual route and only want to hear suggestions for something off my usual.

Super agree with this! I have to believe that most people (certainly I) do not need any audio guidance 99% of the time. I can get to work in my sleep (not really, don't sleep and drive). The reason I'm using waze is for the 1% of the time when there's some reason I should deviate from my normal route. Would love love love to only have to hear it during that 1% and not the 99% when it's totally superfluous.
