Traveling with Waze on Shabbat
Question
There may be a situation where I will need to drive a woman in labor on Shabbat. Am I allowed/obligated to use Waze on the return trip?
Answer
Shalom!
If it is known that the journey will be shortened by using Waze, it should be activated. If it is not certain that the journey will be shortened, it is forbidden to activate it.
