I vote for some kind of optimum route, as I know from other navigation systems (fastest/optimal/shortest), Recently I wanted to navigate to a new place and Waze offered long 40 km travelling, while online maps found a way only 30 km long, much narrower and direct, maybe - 3 minutes longer. That is really stupid.
Exactly shortest might sometimes saving 500 meter for a very bad road, and that is always not worth either. But today's suggestion (which I refused to follow) made be searching some settings in Waze and finding, it was intentionally removed and made the system way closer to stupidity and user ignorance. User should always be allowed to select what he really wants - not what the programmer of Waze or the Team Lead wants.
Please, keep in mind that you are not programming and maintaining it for yourself! You are doing it for other people. That is the point. And really rarely anybody wants to have 30-50% longer journey to save 3 to 5 minutes.
