Have a manual option to modify route of travel

WAZE gives a route for fastest or shortest trip which is great in most cases . But could we give user's the option to take a less congested or more scenic route as a user's choice by allowing changes to the route instructions or on the map like Google maps with a drag and drop option.OR better yet allow import of Google saved maps into WAZE.

    While Waze may save me time by determining a certain route, there are times that I will sacrifice a little time, just so I don't have to drive near or into a certain area, such as Chicago in my case. Waze only gives me one route and no alternative to choose from, when there is an alternative route that avoids getting even close to Chicago! Waze would be the PERFECT app, if only a user could enter the route they want to travel!

    At the beginning of a new root ‏sometimes the car is in opposite direction.
    It is suggested to enable changing ‏driving direction by double click on my car icon

    This apps plots routes from A to B and offers three routes. It will be great any of these routes can be changed manually by dragging, also be able to add several way points.

    We love the app but being retired 50 percent of our trips we prefer scenic routes

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes. We need to be able to provide a way to modify a Waze generated route.

    And that's why I use Google maps. Wave get use unfriendly!

    This would also be helpful when you are beginning a route and Waze assumes you're headed in one direction when you're actually headed in the other or you're about to pull out of a driveway and could head in either direction. Just drag your route in the opposite direction to see which way is fastest.

    YES PLEASE,
    I love dragging the route in Google so that I pick up friends on the way or go along roads I prefer. I came to WAZE as it seems better than Google Maps for accidents and roadworks but I'm going back as I cannot modify the routes in WAZE.

    This option could possibly be available in "Live Map" using drag and drop to change route choices and then allowing it to be saves for use when desired
