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

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.

We need UK settings - no one here uses feet to measure road distances. come on US lets get a world view you never know you may end up using A4 paper one day !!

Waze = brilliant. Inability to choose yards and not feet, completely absurd and renders it useless as being too distracting for UK users

Tried Waze for the first time today, dismayed to be given distances in feet, just not helpful for UK drivers.

I stopped using WAZE for this reason as I couldn't get past being distracted by distances called out in feet.

All other maps use yards/miles or metres/Km. Truly bizarre as nobody thinks in feet and feet are never used to describe distances on roads.

Miles and Yards ( or even miles and meters) please. But not feet.

I don't use the program because I get directions like "turn left in 11,500 feet." Who in the hell has a conception of that when they are driving and having to make fast decisions for those ridesharing companies that treat their drivers so much better than their passengers (not). I relate to yards, smaller "feets", tenths of a mile and miles. Better yet, why not count down the turn to 9/10ths, 8/10ths, 7/10ths, etc.? That way someone can glance down at their trip or main odometer and be in sync. Also, why is voice navigation like Google's taking so long to incorporate?

Or if yards are a problem, could we have miles and meters (I know it appears illogical, but increasingly we are using metric units other than for motoring where longer distances are still in miles, and speed in mph)
