As reported in the beta threads, the "favorite routes" is broken. It has not appeared for me with a heart next to any route such as to frequent locations such as home and work since the early iPhone betas of v3. It broke either in a beta or in the initial release.

You are likely correct. I got confused about what he was referring to there.

When is the 2nd phase going to ready?

In 14 times it tried to suggest me the destination it failed in all 14 cases. For some reason waze has picked one favorite and most of the time it thinks that I should go there, although I used that destination only a few times before. Only in two cases it was close to guess where I am going.

New trip analyzer works perfectly for me. Thank you very much!

Hi guys,

Just a short note to let you know work on the Trip Analyzer is progressing, and we've uploaded a new version of it on the world.waze.com system
(A new version will be uploaded to http://www.waze.com as well in the near future).
(Yes - we uploaded a new process to world.waze first! How about that?)

The Trip Analyzer is the process which identifies your routes, and auto-suggests routes based on your frequent destinations. These are the 'Good morning krankyd, going to work?' messages that you see (if auto-suggested routes is set to allow).

As a second phase (NOT UPLOADED YET), this process will also include the frequent destinations calculation. These are the routes that appear as your 'favorites' when you check alternatives for a specific destination.
Short reminder: Waze will always choose the FASTEST route to your destination (unless you change the routing settings to shortest). This means that even if you really like going on road A, but road B is faster - waze will always choose road B over A.
However, when you choose to see alternatives routes, waze will show up to 3 routes with priority to those routes that you frequently travel (such as road A).
As mentioned above, this is not implemented yet in the new process, and is not working properly via the old process ATM, but we're working on re-writing it and adding it to the trip analyzer. We'll keep you updated...

Let us know if you encounter any problems or improvement with the auto-suggested routes!

+1

And pressing 'close' if not want that route, it 'hangs' on the 'calculate' sign, as you can see in the picture below...

Somtimes, press 'drive' to agree the route, it works fine, but the 'calculate' sign stays on the screen...

Cool!
It was surprised in the morning, because I have not seen this before! :lol:
