navigation: Toll road vs Toll-free road
I live near toll highway and while I use it quite often, I try to use it when I really get an advantage.
Because it cost money to use it!
Here is the problem I have with Waze (and any navigation system I know)
I give you example. Yesterday I was at point A and needed to get to point B.
Waze showed it will take 17 minutes and used toll road.
When I clicked alternate roads it showed that there was a toll-free route, which was again 17 minutes.
I realize that toll-route is probably few seconds faster and that is why it comes first, but can't Waze have a little common sense: would anyone pay an extra $$ for few seconds faster route?
And I don't want to choose "avoid toll-roads" option, because I really use toll roads whenever it is really has advantage to do so! But often I find myself on that toll road unjustified, just because it is few seconds or a minute faster...
If Waze doesn't have a way to help in this problem, I would suggest to create an option that a toll-road should be chosen over a toll-free one only if it is faster by 10-15-20% or more percent and let user choose that %%.
Please let me know if anything like this is planned in future development. Hopefully soon
