report lane changes in yards not feet
when distance is set to miles, small distances are reported in feet, yards is more commonly in use ( at least for significant distances of say 1000 feet (300!yards)) in uk

It's my bugbear, too. I have a good idea what a distance is in yards; but not in feet. (Unless I do the mental arithmetic - not a good idea when driving and navigating.)

I would like to use Waze, but I won't until this thing of using feet instead of yards is sorted...

Came back to Waze again after 3 years to see if they have implemented yards instead of feet. It's the reason I stopped using it because it used to drive me crazy. Amazed to find that this serious shortcoming has still not been addressed. Large distances in feet mean nothing to UK users. The standard unit used here is yards. Why is this simple request still not been implemented? Ridiculous. Every other sat nav supports yards. Uninstalling. I'll try again in another 3 years.

I just started using Waze yesterday. I've had enough of it already after just one day. I found these forums while looking for the (surely it must be there but I just can't find it) option to sort my saved places alphabetically. It's looking a lot like the basic things which a huge number of people are asking for, are also things which would be so easy to implement (e.g feet / 3 = yards, there, that was easy Waze wasn't it). Yet these are the things that Waze refuses to implement. How hard is it to divide by 3? How hard it is to sort a list alphabetically? I think I'll switch to an alternative.

In the UK we do not measure driving distances in feet but yards and miles.

Agreed - feet are useless units on UK roads

Miles and yards are the standard distances used on UK roads, satnavs and roadsigns. Feet aren't intuitive.

How hard would it be to have the option of Km or Miles and fractions of, for UK users .
Feet is used in the US.
They may be used to that but we in the UK are not -

Feet as a reference to distance means nothing in the UK, Please include Yards as a reference.
We had the 100 yard race at school so we know what it looks like! We never referred to it as the 300 feet race!
Just tried Sygic which uses yards, so much easier to understand!

Provide miles and yards option for UK users.

I agree. Feet is weird they should change it to yards so that we can tell exactly how far until we have to turn!

I prefer yards to feet aswell

Please think about an option to have yards (not feet) as distances. So in UK = Miles + yards (or even Miles + metres).
We do not think of using feet over long distances!

In UK we use miles and yards not miles and feet could you add another option

I agree, feet is crazy, buy the time you have listened to it, you’ve gone sailing past. Who on earth uses feet for navigation. I’ve stopped using it now.

The distance used in the UK is mainly miles and then yards for when junctions are calculated. When travelling using sat nav devices we do not use feet and the measurement is too small.

Feet makes NO sense as nobody uses it. Yard is far more commonly used.

In the UK, we use yards not feet for short road distances - Tom Tom, Garmin and other sat navs all use yards - please change from feet to yards. This will also stop my passengers from laughing when they hear the announcements in feet. Thanks.
