    Thank you for this suggestion.
    Setting the Car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
    There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
    It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog.

    When I arrive at a destination and then start a new route while still stationary, Waze appears to lose track of my previous direction of travel. The initial guidance sometimes assumes I am facing the opposite direction, which makes departure confusing.

    Could Waze retain the last reliable direction of travel and use it as a provisional starting direction until fresh movement data becomes available? This would be particularly useful when the vehicle has not moved between navigation sessions.

    I understand that the previous direction may no longer be valid after parking manoeuvres, so it should be treated as a fallback rather than a confirmed heading.

    Is this a known issue, and how does Waze currently determine the initial direction after a stop?
