Waze Planned Drives On iOS Makes Navigation Even Easier

With Waze 4.0 for Android having launched not too long ago, in keeping with the company’s promises, here we are with word that Waze Planned Drives on iOS has arrived, which will be part of the new version 4.3, and it will do its bit to make sure that your life is a wee bit less stressful when it comes to keeping an appointment on a particularly important date. How does it go about doing so?

Well, all that you need to do is to enter the time and date in which you need to arrive, and then Waze will get down to it, giving you the best recommended time in which you should leave. Apart from that, you will also be on the receiving end of a reminder when the event is closer in time, providing you with an updated departure time as well which will be based upon real-time road conditions.

In other words, just set it and forget it. Planned Drives also make it far easier for you to keep track of your time and schedule. Using it is a snap – boot up Waze, enter a destination (Menu>Enter address in search bar). From the Waze ETA panel, click the Waze Planned Drives icon that is on the bottom left. The Waze Planned Drives screen will open up and show off peak traffic hours along your future route, where it will use its smart algorithms, aggregated traffic history and predictive analysis to figure things out.

If Waze has access to your Calendar and/or Facebook, appointments and Facebook Events will end up as a Planned Drives automatically. Expect Planned Drives to arrive on Android in due time as well. [Press Release]
