The Waze app determines the direction the car is moving using the GPS locations in time. When the car is not moving the system does not know in which direction the car is pointing.
This causes a problem, when starting to move the system does not give a valid instruction in which way to drive and sometimes immediately instructing to perform a (lawful) U turn.
To avoid this my idea is to connect the Waze system to an integrated compass in the mobile phone (or the car system).
Doing so and instructing the driver to hold the phone parallel to the car for a few seconds before starting to drive, will enable the system the required data to “know” in which geographical direction the car is pointing and thus give the correct navigation instruction from the very beginning.
