I have been using Waze for a couple of years and I turn it on for the same route to get my daughter to school in the morning and back home through traffic.
Recently, their routing algorithm has gotten so bad that I am on the verge of discarding it and probably try HERE maps.
The issues are
1) There was a railroad removal which block the road for several weeks. Waze didn't detect it and I arrived about 15 minutes later. I went home and tried to edit the map and to my surprise, I couldn't do it now whereas I was able to edit the maps once upon a time.
2) Recently, it has routed me to another supposed faster route to my daughter's school. I took that route once and we were late for school.
From then on, I took the route which I am familiar with (which incidentally was what Waze had always been showing me till recently) and I keep seeing the ETA dropping. The ETA for the my regular route is about 5 minutes faster than the new Waze suggested route which is about 35 minutes
