This information about events is collected and analyzed in real time to provide all wazers with the optimal route to their destination at any given moment. <br/>

| |
| *Police - displays only reports of police cars/traps , listed by distance
| |
| *Traffic - displays only reports of traffic loads in your area (light / moderate / heavy / standstill) listed by distance

| |
| | |
| [[Image:Capture14_45_5.jpg|432px|324px]]<br/>
| |
| | |
| '''Route preference''' – you prefer the calculation to choose either the shortest route, or the fastest taking into account current event reports along that route. The default is "fastest".
| |
| | |
| '''Dirt roads''' – you can choose to allow their inclusion in your route, to forbid it, or to allow short ones but avoid long ones where possible.
| |
| | |
| '''Minimize turns''' - if this is "on", waze calculates a route that will require you to turn from one street into another as few times as possible.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Avoid highways]]''' – the default is "off". If you prefer to spend as little time on highways as possible, choose "on". Today the Waze routing engine will only avoid the '''freeway''' road type with this setting. That may change in the future. It isn't always possible to avoid highways altogether, but Waze will do its best, taking into account your other routing preferences.
| |
| | |
| '''Avoid toll roads''' - the default is “off”. If you prefer not to enter toll roads choose “on”.

| You may enter the name of a road, an address, a place name or keywords. Waze will show you a list of matches ordered by proximity and importance of the place. If there are few matches, a Google Local Search will be used. So you can search for "toy shop" or "gas station" and Waze will let you select from the closest matches. You don’t have to enter a city but if your destination is not in your current city, you might want to enter a city as well. If Waze does not know the house numbers on your destination road, or you don't enter a house number, Waze will choose the middle of the road.
