Reduce taps required from search to navigation
Currently from the time I see an address for which I've searched to when I'm able to just drive and see the map and directions, there are FOUR TAPS in between those two things happening.
Tap 1 — Seeing the address as text in search results.
Tap 2 — Seeing the address as an official box in results.
Tap 3 — Seeing the address on a map with parking options
Tap 4 — Directions calculated, and clearing option to choose routes.
When a person is starting to drive, that's quite frustrating.
I just want to GO. Please reduce this to ONE.
The rest are unnecessary because:
1 — I've already confirmed my destination.
2 — The rest, like parking, can wait until later.
Thank you

Agreed! It didn't used to be this way. Bad UI

I fully agree on the comments here. Why so many confirmation steps? Let's just GO and if that's not the case we can always stop and then start a new route.

Hello, love your product, but have a key input. Getting wayz started takes too many clicks. Similar to Steve Jobs reframing the startup time for computers, we have all grown to accept the absurdity of Microsoft and the modern - do you really want to print - click again yes (this for actual Cybersecurity reasons) but the point is, when I want to go somewhere, I don’t need to tell it yes, I really want to go, and then another, go. I am guessing the percentage of people who want to go is 95% and those just curious is 5%, so why not reverse the process - go is 1 step, and for the other 5%, they can click stop, and play around with options to leave later, or arrive at, or pick other routes. Will make the app much quicker to use, and less sitting around, clicking.

There are too many "Go" countdown timers that have to be acknowledged or dismissed before navigation begins. One is more than enough.
