O Waze is one of the most popular apps among drivers who always seek to take the fastest and most efficient route during their journeys, but that still does not mean that users are taking full advantage of the platform.

 

It turns out that Waze has the most varied options that will help you make the most of the platform, with some features changing the way you move in big cities and even helping you not to forget your children in the back seat when you get to your destination.

If you want to have a more relaxed journey and no need to do very complex maneuvers, you will be pleased to know that – among the features you can activate in Waze – there is one that allows you to avoid complicated maneuvers that contribute to unnecessary anxiety and stress.

If you want to understand what Waze can do for you besides taking you as quickly as possible from the point At point B, you may know some (relatively) unknown options below.

Waze's seven options you need to meet:

  • Create your own speed limit so you don't have constant alerts;
  • Choose alerts to be issued (accident, roadblock, police, etc.);
  • Add your identifiers to know the roads you can use;
  • Please indicate which fuel your vehicle is fuelled and whether the stations should be indicated by Waze based on distance or price;
  • Activate the option that makes Waze avoid too complicated maneuvers;
  • Disable the zoom to prevent Waze's map from always moving away and approaching;
  • Make sure you don't leave your kids in the car activating the dedicated reminder.
