Auto Acknowledgement: Feature Suggestion: “Same Route Return” or “Route Memory” for Personalized Navigation

Dear Waze Map Team,

I’m writing to suggest a useful feature that could enhance the user experience for many drivers, especially those who prefer traveling familiar routes.
Feature Idea: Route Memory or Same Route Return

The idea is to allow users to record and save the exact route they take from Point A to Point B, so that they can later choose to return using the same exact path — even if the system finds alternate “faster” or “better” options on the return journey.

Why This Feature Would Help:
Some users (like myself) feel more confident or safe returning via the same road they used earlier.

Current GPS apps often suggest different return paths due to traffic, but that can confuse or stress users unfamiliar with certain areas.

A “Route Memory” option gives users more control, comfort, and consistency.

It’s especially helpful for:

New drivers

Older people

People who face anxiety in unfamiliar areas

Nighttime travel with family

Delivery drivers wanting to retrace their route

Possible implementation ideas:

An option to "Save My Route" once navigation is completed

A toggle that says “Use Same Route for Return”

A saved route folder for personal reference

I believe this feature could be a valuable addition to your already excellent platform.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Sincerely,
Syed Usama Saeed
