disable popups

Please provide the means to disable popups. I like the flags. The popups block half the screen, are irrelevant, and recenter the map.

    Please disable ads pop-us, or make a premium version. You get enough info and money from peoples using waze, and tracking persons for intelligence services.

    Select the field to insert an address. A screen will come up in the top left is the "gear" for the app settings. Select notifications and deselect receive all push notifications. This should remove the stupid pop-ups.

    I accidentally clicked a pop up without realizing it on my way to my new job. This was during rush hour traffic, and it took me on a FIFTEEN MINUTE DETOUR before I realized I wasn't where I was supposed to be. I'm lucky I even made it 5mins before my shift. I have to constantly swipe the ads away because I'm new to Dallas, and I have no idea where I'm going once I get into the city. They take up half the screen while I'm trying to navigate spaghetti junctions and large, complicated intersections. Apple maps would take me through stop & go traffic more often than not, but I've NEVER had this problem with them. I'm deleting this app.

    I would never load Waze after getting all these loud ads that take over my cellphone.

    I had to delete the app because I thought they were dangerous. I don’t understand why we can’t turn them off

    Agree, it sometimes interferes with view of turns and road. Which is very dangerous while riding on my motorcycle! Please offer a paid ad free version or the ability to disable ads, please!

    I agree. The pop-up ads are very dangerous. I've deleted Waze now, giving CoPilot a go, seems much better.

    While driving through a maze of highways in Fairfax VA a pop up add came on the screen and I could not see the map. This was very disturbing and caused distracted driving.

    STOP POP UP ADS WHILE I AM DRIVING!
    DISTRACTED DRIVING WILL CAUSE DEATHS AND LAWSUITS!

    add premium version with no pop ups , very annoying, somehow they are poping up on the most difficult intersections and you getting lost or trying to fiddle with up while moving, DANGEROUS!!!

    The pop ups are distracting and very dangerous while driving. If you don't get rid of them, I'm deleting the app for good!!!!
