Waze tries to send me back to it's initial route rather than calculating options from my current path. i need more characters to explain.
When Waze gives me an initial route it always tries to send me back to that route. For example i was exiting a fast food parking lot and it would be very difficult to go left. I knew there was a route to the right but it wasn't showing up. I turned right anyway and Waze kept trying to turn me around. I thought I finally drove far enough to get the new route, so i listened when it told me to turn right. Long story short, it drove me through a neighborhood, slowly, making many turns, and ended up back where i started. In another small example, i turned off my main route into a neighborhood two blocks earlier than the planned route to avoid a school bus. Waze wanted to route me back out of the neighborhood for one block only to turn back onto the road i was already on.
Waze needs to take my current direction of travel and recalculate from there. Sometimes we know what we're doing when we dont follow the route planned.
