More English Voice Options with Street names...
We need more options for voices!
Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

That you can choose your nevigetor woman that tells facts about the place/places on the road. LIke a "road story".

Waze is often too vague & just says "keep right" this is not much help if there are multiple right lanes. If I'm supposed to get on a freeway, say "turn right onto the 405 fwy". It's dangerous for drivers to take their eyes off the road & look at the Waze map.

Waze, if you are not going to bring back Elvis, then you need a better southern voice option other than Sanders. That one was just lame.

Brussels is also dutch speaking (recognized by government!)and has dutch spoken streetnames.
If you have a dutch speaking voice selected Femke is pronounicing the streets in French names meanwhile there exist also dutch streetnames.

Say the street name that the user needs to turn on rather than just saying "turn right in half a mile." Unsafe to have to look down at my phone to see the street name!

The point is to keep my eyes on the road. Sometimes Waze has announced a next turn, but then I've been driving for a bit, and want to know how much further before the next turn.
Recently I was driving on the highway at night, with traffic, in the rain, wearing distance glasses, so I did not want to look down at my phone.
I wish I could just flip the phone over and back, and have Waze then immediately say the updated distance to and name of the next turn.

Yes! I'm a woman and I don't want to hear a woman telling me what to do. Please make this happen!

More prompts or turns & highway exits more in advance, not as we pass them (1 mile out, 0.5 mile out, 500 ft out, etc.). Also road names on turns, not just "in 1000 ft, turn right"...what road will I be turning right on? I like to know what I'm supposed to be looking out for, and we can't always be expected to know distances. Lastly, we need the ability to avoid toll roads and the highway altogether.

Ridiculous that I must listen to a women tell me what to all day long and then have to on the app as well, put the male voice back with street names.

Hi,
The Hebrew pronunciation many street and location names is wrong. Some are just funny and quite a few are simply unrecognizable.
I respectfully suggest that the whole file of Hebrew names will be rechecked by some one who knows the difference.
One case in point is calling the name "NESHER" as "NASHAR". -

Also, a male option using street names would be good. I can't stand the female voices, but want street names in my directions.

Waze doesn't say the name of my turn or exit anymore, it's really inconvenient to the driver to not have this. It will only say to turn right or left. Please change it back to actually saying the name of the exits and turns, thank you.

More warning before turns and include the name of the street you are to turn on.
