I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe could be very useful for daily commuters and other regular Waze users.
Waze currently recommends routes based on live traffic and estimated travel time. However, users often discover their own shortcuts or alternative routes that they find more convenient through personal experience.
For example, while travelling from Dubai to Sharjah, I may discover and use a shortcut that works very well for me. The next day, however, Waze may recommend a different route based on current traffic, and I may not remember the exact route I previously used.
I suggest introducing a “Save My Route” feature that would allow users to:
Save the exact route they travelled, including personally discovered shortcuts.
Give the route a custom name, such as “My Dubai–Sharjah Shortcut.”
Reuse the saved route whenever they want.
View the current traffic and estimated travel time for that saved route.
Compare it with Waze’s currently recommended routes.
Most importantly, when a user selects a saved route, Waze should allow them to follow that route rather than automatically replacing it with another route.
This would be especially useful for people who regularly travel the same routes and have discovered shortcuts through their own experience.
