I've been wishing for this too. Not fastest or most fuel efficient, but the easiest route. Really just as few turns as possible, but especially avoiding things like two way stops and uncontrolled left turns.

- mouly 4y agoEspecially when driving short distances in new cities, a route with fewest turns would be useful.
- TranquilMarmot 4y agoI would love this. Driving in Seattle is such a massive pain sometimes, and Google Maps just loves to make you take crazy turns across 3 lanes of traffic when there's a ramp or a light two blocks away. My partner who has lived here her whole life is always telling me that I'm taking bad turns when I'm following Google Maps haha
- colechristensen 4y agoSame in the Bay Area. Google maps was always trying to get me to take crazy turns instead of the straightforward way. Save 30 seconds by going on the 101 for an eighth of a mile instead of just driving straight on el Camino. There were a bunch of places i thought were far away because of the crazy routes that turned out to be really convenient to get to once the crazy uncle shortcuts were left behind.
- mertd 4y agoUnprotected left turns into El Camino are the worst. There is always a light two blocks away in some direction. It's in Google's backyard. How they get this one wrong is puzzling.
- emilburzo 4y agoThe option to "avoid difficult intersections" should get you most of the way there https://www.pcmag.com/news/waze-wants-to-help-you-avoid-difficult-intersections https://www.pcmag.com/news/waze-wants-to-help-you-avoid-diff...
- hyperionplays 4y agoAt least in Australia, this doesn't avoid many uncontrolled right (same as left in freedom land) turns across 4-8 lanes of traffic.
- Swizec 4y agoApple Maps has this mode at least when picking a route. It usually gives a fastest and a fewer-turns option. I’ve also found their turn by turn directions less stressful to follow than google maps because they announce like a human codriver not like you’re an AI. At least a few years ago it felt like Google Maps didn’t do the whole “go through this light then at the next one turn left”, which is easier than a last minute “turn left now!!”
- gibspaulding 4y agoI've gotten this sense as well, but have been trying to convince myself that it's just me thinking that the "grass is always greener". It's crazy to think that Apple maps might actually end up being what makes me finally ditch Android.
