how to delete/clear my recent routes?

Post by
Hi,
Can you tell me how to clear / delete the routes that have been assoicated to my account?

I'm talking about the list that shows up under "Navigate->History" I can't seem to find a way through the iphone client, or through the web site.

Thanks!

On my phone (iPhone) this action does not go to a preview screen which includes the remove option, but rather goes directly to route calculation. I am apparently using the most recent version of Waze, per the Apps Store. Any suggestions, short of deleting the app altogether?
What you do (iPhone) is to touch the icon to the right of the item you want to remove for about 2 secs then slide your finger over to the left AMF let go. The remove option then shows up.
The little (i) has a very small tapable area. It is rather difficult to tap it and not have it start a route, but if you do tap it right on the (i) it will go the Preview screen from which you can remove it.

Why we can't swipe delete like we can favorites... I don't know.

Same problem here. When I go to "Navigate", I see a list of recent destinations that cannot be removed by choosing the exclamation point. I can only remove favorite destinations (Navigate -> Favorites -> Exclamation mark on any destination). There should be an option to clear whole list of recent destinations (not favorites).

Same problem here. No option to delete recent destinations and the Waze help function is incorrect on the exclamation point and an option to select Remove. Please WAZE, fix this big problem and give Android users the option to delete recent destinations and not just Favorites.

I don't believe that you can currently delete items from your history. What phone are you using? For at least the current Android version this has been acknowledged as a bug. http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... 86#p383986

In the Android 3.6 version that only happens for your favorites. For your historical routes when you tap the exclamation point in the circle, the options are "More," "Add" and "Go."

If you are concerned about the amount of detail being captured when you use Waze you can use anonymous mode. If that is still not adequate, Waze likely isn't for you.

To clear your recent routes and not your favorites go to your account sign out and log back in all your routes cleared and you will still have your favorites and your saved planned trips if you use this option.

I understand the routes taken are what waze uses to make it what it is, but if I drive in anonymous mode the routes are still saved (of course). Why not allow routes to be disconnected from an account and dropped into the anonymous bucket by allowing a person to delete them from their history?

On the version of the client on the iPhone that I have (3.6.0.0), it is the exclamation point in a circle. When you tap that, the next window you get is one that should give you the "more" "delete" or "go" option at the bottom.
