Pop up windows originated by the app (Uh-oh! Downloading new voice files failed. Please try again later) should have a Time out.
Imagine being on a motorcycle, gloves on and riding along and a pop up window appears. Subject has one expample, another example "Like our app? Rate it here". There are others but these pop ups should go away after a time limit. Otherwise, it stays that way the entire trip. Really a hazard to force the driver to respond to the screen.

Same with me on motorcycle. I will just not use Waze and use Scenic instead.

The same happens to me. It is really ridiculous to put a message interrupting the navigation that, on the other hand, does not need that file to work. I was looking for how to stop that message without luck until now.
It makes me wonder what they were thinking -

How about just fixing the broken download. I get this message so often I am inclined to stop using the app.
