Temporary Route Avoidance Settings (Per-Trip Only Option)
Suggestion:
I’d like to suggest adding the ability to apply route avoidance settings (such as avoiding highways, tolls, or ferries) for a single trip only, rather than changing global navigation preferences.
Currently, when a user enables options like “avoid highways,” the setting remains active for all future routes until it is manually turned off. This can lead to confusion or unintended routing on subsequent trips if the user forgets to revert the setting.
A more flexible approach would be to allow users to select avoidance options specifically for the current trip during route setup. Once the trip is complete, the app would automatically revert to the user’s default route preferences.
Proposed Functionality:
-Add a “For This Trip Only” toggle or section when selecting route options
-Allow users to choose:
-Avoid highways
-Avoid tolls
-Avoid ferries
**Automatically reset these selections after the
trip ends
Benefits:
-Prevents users from forgetting to revert global settings
-Provides more flexibility for one-off driving preferences (e.g., scenic routes, avoiding highways temporarily)
-Improves overall user experience and reduces routing confusion
