Planning a route through Waze will be more practical. Highlights restrictions

The well-known Waze navigation application comes with useful improvements that will please many drivers. Before driving, after entering the route, the application warns the user of possible delays – traffic jams, slowdowns, detours or other typical obstacles.

This is a very practical thing. Especially when planning a longer route and a journey that requires arrival for a certain time, such information is invaluable.

Better route planning

Depending on the current situation, one can choose an alternative route, move travel to a different time or, at worst, choose a different mode of transport. If the road is completely congested, for example, it may be appropriate to get on the train.

Additional information will be displayed in the application directly in the route planning interface. From the point of view of using the application, nothing changes, just more key route data will be displayed automatically. The creators of the Waze application informed about the news directly on the official blog.

Immediate details

In practice, the user will learn why navigation recommends a specific route. For example, you may know from experience that a route is usually faster, but it can actually be much more complicated without knowing the current state of traffic. There may have been an accident or road workers are working there.

Before you set off, Waze will automatically offer you the fastest option and a cursory glance will reveal why this actually happened.

The developers inform that the distribution of the new version of the Waze application started on July 27. It can take several months for it to reach all users. Therefore, it is recommended that you check for available updates from time to time.

The creators of navigation applications tend to come up with various improvements on a regular basis. They have only recently started adding support for Android Auto. We could notice this, for example, a pair of Sygic and MapFactor Navigator 7. Waze can be used in this way for a long time.
