I use Waze a lot for local driving and frequently take small diversions to convenience stores or maybe swing by another store or a friend's house a few blocks away that is not on the original route.

I find it very hard to believe that no one has ever added a Pause button to route guidance.

I have seen it rationalized that it would be distracting while you're driving.

I would submit that the app continuing to recalculate a new route while you are diverting is ever more distracting. Especially, if you decide to stop the route because the continual rerouting is too annoying.

Please, please, please add a Pause button to your app.
