Simple “must” for every driver

I’ve tried many navigation systems but always returns to Waze. I really really wish Apple allows it for CarPlay. It would be great! (Even the best navigation can get you into trouble - Waze got me in the serious trouble in winter and I got stuck in deep woods. Good thing is that you can instantly warn others and repair wrong data as soon as you get to computer)
Is Waze devolving?
M1-K3
For some time Waze (at least via Apple Car interface) stopped offering me routes to home or work automatically, it totally ignores preferred route (like when I travel some route daily it always wants to send me differently and if I check alternative "mine" is 90% of the time the same time or one minute slower - in result mine is always quicker because I know what to expect and it doesn't go via one narrow road I try to avoid unless necessary that Waze want me to go daily).Also I've discovered that on Apple Car I'm not able to report closure (so Waze would still navigate me via closed road unless someone else would report that?!)
Route options

Im using Waze daily, but for the past year or so its becoming completely unreliable navigation. Example from recent drive. We wanted pretty normal route. Using vignette, no exceptions. Waze had calculated the road for hour more through 2 countries. I didnt even have vignettes for those. If that wasnt enough, it didnt even offer alternate route at all. I had to manually set a point and then set up again another one. We did this route several times and we know it takes 9:40 but for some reason it took a route that would give us 10:50. Also not having mandatory alternate route options is just lazy programming. Please fix or become obsolete.
