How to Find the Quickest Route with Waze

It’s time to wise up on Waze 

As a frequent user the Waze app, I noticed that it doesn't always come up with the best possible route. Over time, I learned how to make it do a better job of finding the quickest route. In this short post, I would like to share my technique. 

The basic idea is to make Waze recalculate your route as you approach an intersection that may offer alternative routes. For example:

  • City driving: Make Waze recalculate as you approach an intersection. 
  • Inter-city driving: Make Waze recalculate as you enter your destination town or city. 
As a safety reminder, do not operate the app while your car is in motion or in any situation where it is prohibited by law. If you are driving with a companion, ask him or her to operate the app for you. 

How to make Waze recalculate routes

Tap the blue icon at the bottom right corner of the navigation screen:



On the next screen, tap the Routes icon near the bottom left corner of the screen.


Waze will recalculate for a few moments and then present one or more alternative routes. Tap your preferred route:
