Automatically & immediately loading the route (instead of waiting 5 seconds)
Currently after entering a destination the "go now" counter will wait 5 seconds before automatically showing the route. I would like a setting to make this zero seconds. Essentially, automatically showing the route immediately after it has been calculated.
This is handy when driving for ride share. We don't get the rider's info until they enter the car. Knowing which way to go as soon as possible is important in many situations. Over the course of a day of driving ride share I will press "go now" around a hundred times - never needing to change anything on that initial screen. Plus if I ever needed that screen, it is available at anytime by pressing on the bottom bar.
If I ever go back to the ride share app and press "navigate", taking mr back to Waze (instead of manually switching apps) the calculating route screen comes up again, even if the route is already loaded and no changes have been made. I again will need to press "go now" to see the route (or wait 5 seconds)
In general, my experience is that I'm constantly pressing "go now" - so it feels like I'm fighting the app. The default could very well be to show the route immediately.
Thanks.

Just start the route setting option. Would like the app to have the option not to present the route overview or any other questions and just go straight to routing once I select a destination. Prefer not to have to look at the screen.

Yes!! Waze should be more like Google Maps with the option to just “Start” (button on Google Maps) the route! It’s extremely frustrating to have to tap the screen 3-5 times after selecting my destination

When selecting a destination, Waze can skip the many screens that need to be clicked through, and start navigation on map immediately.
To allow customizing routes or undo, show "overview" / "details/undo" small popups for a few seconds at navigation start.
The amount of clicks it currently takes to start nav on map is just too much.

The timer in the "Go now" button is very stressing.
I'm looking at the presented info, checking what in the lots of stuff that's on screen is clickable, ... but I gotta hurry because that timer is going to run out and the whole screen will change.
Makes absolutely no sense.
Just disable the timer or allow me to do it in the settings -

The current sequence in ios12 is
Tap search icon
(search bar should be present when app first opens)
Type address
Select address
Tap go (or go later)
Wait
Tap to 'go now'That's really poor interaction.
Once I've selected my destination and chosen between 'go later' and 'go' why do you then force me to 'look for a better time to go' 'add a stop' and then the infuriating 'go now'.
I already indicated my desire to go when opening the app, and indicated my desire to go 'Now' when I didn't choose 'go later'.
Adding a stop, checking routes, sharing destination, could be done from that first screen or from the map once underway.

Remove the damned irritating GoNow button.
It is obvious I want to "go now" if I selected a fucking destination. I don't use Waze for anything else.
And increase the Cop warning from the utterly useless 450 meters to at least 1.5 km. Or let us decide how far with an option for it.
Thank you.
