Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

I move my previous post to here as a comment.
My usual route is 25 kilometers in 30 minutes. Time is money ;) so my basic routing preference is to drive the fastest way to my destination. However Waze always selects the really fastest way to my destination. Even if it is only 10 secods faster but 5 kilometers longer, it selects that route automatically. I usually check the recommended routes and often select the second fastest because of saving fuel/money. My idea is to implement a feature which would allow the user to set some tolerance in the application which would tell Waze which route it should select automatically. So an option like this.
- To save 10% time you are willing to drive 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, unlimited percent longer route.
Example:
Going to work from home waze recommends fastest route 35 km long, 30 minutes.
Second fastest route is 25 km, 33 minutes.
In this case second fastest route needs 10% (33/30) more time than fastest route, but fastest route is 40% (35/25) longer than the second fastest route.
If this setting for the user is 5,10,15,20 or 30 then Waze would select second fastest route.
If this setting for the user is 40 or above then Waze would select the fastest route.
Maybe the way how to include this among settings should be simplified somehow to make it eaiser to understand for everyone, but anyway for the sake of environment it should be implemented. :)
