[BUG] iPhone 2.4 not using selected Departure location

Post by AlanOfTheBerg
I found yesterday when trying to get drive time between two specific locations on the map, using the "Use as Departure" and "Use as Destination" menu options when tap-holding the screen, that Waze would instead create a route to the destination using my current location as the departure point. This worked fine until 2.4 that I can remember.

Could someone else confirm this behavior for me?

Meaning it's broken for you on Android?

I thought that might be the case, too, but I have tried it both ways.

GPS acquisition is key. Good to know. When GPS is available, it overrides the selected departure location. Nice work.

It's working fine for me on Android but I think the key might be that you have to pick the departure before you pick any destination. If I try to specify the destination first, it just routes there from my current position. Actually, once I've specified a point as the departure, I can't seem to get rid of it and route from my current position without exiting.

Interesting. When I tested it on my Android phone and it worked, I was inside with no GPS.
