Thank you. I did post it to the iOS official feedback thread with a link referencing this one. My wife has the android version and I haven't played with her phone that often but I imagine the basic functionality with Waze would be the same.

Actually the 2nd pop up is to tell you the client has chosen a particular route (fastest/shortest - depending on your setting) to your destination and during that time you have a choice to use a different route by clicking on the "Routes" button. When you click on the "Route" button, the client provides you alternative routes to your destination for you to choose. If you prefer the clients chosen route, you can either click the "Go" button to immediately start or you can wait for it to time out and start.

The bottom line is you are given a choice to select any available routes besides the chosen one by the client.

So basically combine both screens into one?

Hey I'm just trying to think efficiency, less interacting with the screen (more attention to the road) and easier, quicker less screen taps operation.

I imagine Waze dev's read these posts? Is this better posted in one of the stickies at the top?

Good idea on combining the two into one. Why don't you go to the Android v3.7 Official Feedback Thread and post there as that is the correct place to give your ideas on how to further improve the client.

Oops! Sorry I missed seeing your signature that you are using iPhone. Anyway every time waze release a new version whether for Android or IOS, they will start a new thread on official feedback. That's where users start their feedback on problems faced or suggestions to improve the client.

Hi,
This is still an issue in 2021, android OS:
1) Launch waze;
2) Waze asks: Home? -> Click yes;
3) Waze calculates the route;
4) Start driving;
5) After ~20 seconds waze asks the same: Heading home?
6) Click Yes.
