I didn't realize that this feature was removed and was looking for it when I felt Waze wasn't always picking the most optimal route. Can you please bring this back? Every GPS I had before included this option.

Please add "most economically itinerary" and "most ecology itinerary"

With gas prices the way they are, we need the shortest route option. Otherwise everyone is going to switch back to Google maps even though we hate it.

Please do this.

With the gas price increasing so fast. Google maps has the option of eco route, need one for Waze.

Eco route is needed

Please bring back the options for Fastest/Shortest etc.
yesterday it directed me through a Forrest and part of a city that was packed with cars and roadworks.
The fastest route would have taken me a little further, but been a lot quicker.

Show both freeway and non freeway options. Now I have to change preferences to avoid freeways and then look and then change preferences again and so on. It's so bad. Same with google maps. I want to see freeway and non freeway options at the same time. Show me 3 options, and then a button to show me more. And then the ability to lock my route and ask me if I want to rerout, never force a reroute on me.

fix the app to not force you to take the same bad road when there are alternate streets with better traffic flow. Even when taking the alternate, waze keeps telling you to drive in the opposite direction to get on the bad route !!
what happened to the option to save our routes.. it was in the earlier waze before it was bought by google!

Shortest/fastest route needs to come back. I drive from Western CT to Burlington VT quite often. Waze always wants to take me 1hr out of the way through rural roads and sometimes the Taconic. Luckily I know the route. No, I do not have ‘Avoid freeways’ turned off.

Useful for off roading/scenic driving, electric cars, eco drive. No other free apps on iPhone offer shortest route option. Make it a paid subscription option if you have to.

We would like to see the best 3 routes, just like we do if we were to go to Waze.com and search from there

YES! Waze expects me to turn off the route that takes me straight home because it MIGHT shave a minute off my drive. Doesn't matter if it crosses a railroad track that is going to have a train on it. Doesn't matter that the more turns I take, the more likely I am to get hit by an inattentive driver. Just offer the direct route so I can avoid getting on the highway at all. So basic.

Please give us back the option to chose the shortest route, it is very useful for taxi

Please give us back the option to chose the shortest route, it is very useful for slower vehicles.

I drive a Jeep Wrangler. The Fastest Route calculates the "fastest" at speeds that i cannot drive. I really would love the option of Shortest Route back as it applies directly to me.

Is it possible to plan a route to follow.
We are football fans and we travel by bus. Due to safety rules, we have to follow a predetermined approach route.
So it would be useful if we could plan a route and Waze would follow it without showing the fastest or shortest route itself.
thanks in advance

I'm afraid Waze is 'dead'. No one is listening to the wishes of the users anymore. I switched to TomTom navigation-app and use the eco-route: it has a good balance between duration and length of the route.

My car gps offers 3 choices, fastest, economic and shortest. At least I can choose which option I prefer. I hope it will return…

There used to be a setting you could change that allowed your app to give you shortest distance rides, rather than fastest. They took it away for some unknown reason. Bring it back - Waze is currently AWFUL for taxi drivers because the app gives us routes that go way out of the way to save a few minutes of time. That's something we can't do.
