Understanding route section over long distances
In this example 700km trip from Whangarei to Palmerston North
Waze knows your origin and destination then does a calculation on trip distance.
[1] Inside the first ring (Red) “origin” it will asses all roads types and select best route
[2] In the second ring (Green) it will only assess “Primary Streets” and above and select best route
[3] In the third ring (Pink) it will only assess “Minor Highway” and above and select best route
[4] In the third ring it will only assess “Major Highways” and above and select best route
The reverse is used to selecting your destination route
