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!

Announce the names of roads and streets that are in route for turns like google maps does.

I want Jane, and she comes and goes, Why? or have Amy tell the street names. it's so much better when they tell you the street names, can you please add more vioces telling the street names as well, not just Jane, because Jane disappears, and I don't know why, it's so annoying

I see latest waze version has omitted it. 4.12.1.1 version

Completely agree. I don't know why saying the STREET NAMES option was removed. Driving in a city and hearing "turn left in .4 miles" is utterly useless. I have to constantly look down at my phone to read what street I'm going to turn on.
This defeats the whole purpose of having voice prompts! -

We may not be able to get Sam to do it, but a nice Scottish accent, male would be very nice.

Absolutely agree.
I need Waze to tell me "in 0.1 miles, turn left onto Bayshore Boulevard" instead of "in 0.1 miles, turn left". Or even better, in 500 feet, use the right lane to take exit number 234". This is what Google Maps does. And it leads to far less driving errors.
On a road with lots of driveways and sidestreets, telling me to turn in 0.1 miles is completely useless. And I should never have to look at the screen while I'm concentrating on making a turn. -

Come on Waze. Get on this. This has been sitting here a year already

And include - in two blocks, turn right onto "Main Street". It helps to know what road you are turning onto, or, what freeway you are following. "Follow I-96 W" ...
This keeps your eyes on the road, not on the map!

Can you add spoken street names and numbers to improve the audible signals. At present the advice is very basic when compared to something like the latest Garmin devices. These have a rich set of spoken instructions including street names and house numbers.

I love the different celebrity voices that pop up; however I noticed that all of them are male. It would be nice to offer up some more female, especially from the superhero category.
Also it would be nice to be able to keep a voice and not only have it for a short term. -

Please have the app tell you not only the direction you are turning but voice the street names as well. Also, a little toe more notice before turns would be nice. If turns are right after each other, have it say for example...."turn left, then immediately get in right lane to turn right".

All voices should be able to state the street names

the road name that you are entering has been removed from the narrative why?

A few months ago you introduced several new voices in the app (at least in French). There were really funny.
Why did you remove them since then?

I suggest along with the distance which is announced to the driver the street name or exit name should be announced as well. I can't quite measure 1000 ft or 0.1 miles.

Please add Indonesian voice navigation with street names so that it'll be easier for us to drive around with waze. Thanks.

In the Philippines there are 2 roads same direction. One it's called slex on the ground, and the 2nd one above names skyway.
Waze could not see witch one we are if ever we choose to change if to drive up of down since the ramp is just paralel without making a curve.
I was driving my usual way and waze calculate my way thru skyway, the only way I was was going only to skyway, but when I reached the skyway, sudden in apps I was placed down in slex. Totally wrong street.
I did not make any reports since the street waze sees me was wrong.
If I'll make a report with what I've seen in the skyway, was placed in slex, the under lane.Also, please give more than 3 choices when we ask waze to recalculate our router. Sometimes there are more easier routes to use than waze will recalculate.
For someone that know where to turn right or left waze will recalculate that route, but for others will bring them around for many kilometers
