The option to mark a preferred route to a saved location, and to specify that the route should not be changed unless the deviation exceeds a certain threshold—such as five minutes.

or maybe if you set the same route twice, it just remembers your route preference from last time

​Hi Waze Team, ​I’d love to see an option to "like" or save a specific route option provided during navigation. Algorithms often prioritize

I have the latest update and I can't find a way to set the preferred route

It would be great to be able to safe a preferred route for drives that repeat a lot like going to work from home etc. For going to work in the morning I know that the suggested route is wrong as the traffic builds up by the time I reach a certain junction. I know to ignore the suggestion by Waze and then when I take the other route the time of arrival suddenly drops.
P.S. it is poor that the algorithm still does not predict traffic at the time of arriving at these junctions and calculates purely based on traffic at the start of the journey. Surely you must have all the data you need by now.

Ella-- would be great if you could clarify where this preferred route can be found, etc. While you've indicated this has been addressed it doesn't appear anyone who responded since you're 'now available' update has found it.
Per https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/46128052-provision-to-delete-a-stop-once-entered-while-navi
I tend to use 'add stop' as a way of coercing Waze to remind me to take my preferred exit (off a regularly taken route) several exits before Waze's auto-gen'ed route would otherwise have me take-- so that i don't miss my exit. However, i don't actually go to that stop 1/2 the time. During those times i'd like to be able to 'delete' the added stop.

I do also like the suggestion by @SunSet to recognize this route i take regularly, and offer it to my in my alternate routes list as my implicitly preferred route (which i took the last dozen times i want to this given destination.

I just updated, and I still don’t see anywhere to set a default route. I see under route options, it’s giving me my usual, but it’s still defaults to the original Waze chosen routing

Possibility to memorize the same route done many times, for example from home to work and vice versa as a favorite route and know the travel time to be able to choose it

I love this idea. I would suggest one step further to say it will help to save my previous taken route as favorite.

You can already add a stop along the way. Get your route on the map and then search for your personal stop. Add it as a stop. So you get your preference.
Note intent of Waze is to get you there fastest if you have a preferred route then just free Waze without the routing.

Adding to this, would be nice to save a predefined route or routes and have compare those instead of picking its own route. Also be able to set a time saving threshold such don't deviate from route unless i can save 10 + minutes.

When I plan a route it could offer my favorites as alternatives,
in case this is not the automatically selected route, instead of the usually meaningless magenta route.

YES! I have a route I very much prefer -- it's 5-10 minutes longer than what Waze wants me to do, but it's traffic free, while the 3 routes Waze prefers all put me on a highway that ALWAYS has traffic that drives me nuts. The amount of trickery I have to do with pretend destinations to force Waze to use the roads I want it to is ridiculous.

There should be an option to create a new Route when selecting from the list of optional Routes. When selected, user will use their current location as the starting destination and once you’ve arrived at your end destination hit Stop or End location and this will create a new route automatically that users can bookmark as well as it be one of the options to choose from when choosing a route until it is deleted from users past history data.

First of all I am a monstrous Waze fan. I absolutely love it and I use Waze every day when I go to and come home from work and pretty much everywhere I go as I find the alerts very helpful. I would like to save my normal routes e.g. (home to work) and (work to home) and when I start my trip (start Waze) it would be great if Waze can give me a green light if my saved normal route (home to work) or (work to home) is unchanged or a yellow if the route has been changed due to traffic issues. Sometimes due to traffic issues Waze has me getting off one or two exits earlier which is almost the same ETA time so I don’t notice the change in the route and often drive past the newly routed exit and into standstill traffic. Because I am a bit of a scatterbrain I often don’t check the actual route if my ETA is within the normal range and thus I am unaware that my normal route has changed as "The Scatterbrain Factor" becomes quite challenging for most people over the age of 55 LOL. So you can call this new feature the “Scatterbrain Notification Feature” Ha Ha. Love your product! Keep up the great work and God Bless!!

Hi

It would be great if we can create and alter our own drive route. While it is great that Waze does suggest the best route at the time, there might be more alternate routes that do not appear on the list. If we could be able to create and edit out own route, we avoid a certain toll road, but go on another. or choose a certain toll entry point over another that could save us a couple of dollars every trip.

Or if Waze could use and save our already travelled daily commutes? that would make it easier and we could save this as our daily preferred commute to work.

Thank you

What? 2017? Ughhh i raised this as well

Print or save off line i live in sout western Colorado where cell service is not always available when your map stops then what? I have to screen shot then print .if I could have saved the route for off line use or print directions these extra steps would be eliminated

I am a frequent user of the Waze mobile phone app. From my own experience, and from speaking with other frequent users of the app, I find that situations often come up where users want to use the same route to go from source to destination that we have used in the past. From my own asking around it seems that this issue almost certainly affects at least one in four users of the app at some point. Furthermore, I believe that this issue can be addressed by simply adding an option to save the route just taken in the “Arrived at Destination” window and adding another submenu to the left menu. This will allow users to easily save and reuse routes and will be very little work for your team. Thus, more users would continue to use your app rather than switching to alternatives.

this would be great, I'd like waze will show the preferred route between the 3 alternatives so you can choose whether to do the usual way or a different one.
