GPS-Provide Street Names
GPS Feature-It would be greatly appreciated if street names are given, especially for turns, e.g., turn left "on Main Street", etc. or red light up ahead on "Stone Street". My car's GPS (which I rarely use anymore) has that feature and it's great. There have been a few times, particularly when approaching a short street, that Waze says turn left and by the time I get to the corner, I realize I was supposed to turn on "that" corner and it's too late. So I then have to backtrack. But if the street name is given as the driver is looking up ahead and notices the street sign and Waze says the street name, it will register.
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!

Some users complain that the lane guidance can be confusing when two intersections follow each other at a short distance. They think they have to turn right but it turns out you should turn right 300m later.
is there a way to communicate more clearly if the instruction is for the next intersection or for a later one? -

Apple Maps includes road names in its verbal directions. Instead of In .1 of a mile turn right, then left, it's "In one tenth of a mile, make a right on Treadway Cove and then take the next left on McAllister Lane." Verbal directions on Apple Maps are far superior to what Waze and Google Maps offer.

PLEASE make the guidance voice louder and include street names for all of the available English voices, and more voice options to choose from.
ALSO, PLEASE indicate whether the destination is on the left or right hand side of the street at the 1,000 feet mark

Would like to have an option to pronounce street names in local (to the current position) languages, regardless of the application and it’s voice/language settings. I’ve drawn through several countries and it quite difficult to find right turn or lane at road signs, following “funny pronounced” voice instructions. However, would like to keep main navigation instructions as well as information messages in select language. Can this be implemented via using combination of native voice an TTS, automatically selected, based on GEO position?

Sounds like you are using the "brief instructions" setting. There are navigation settings that will give you the street name (usually 2 or 3 times) before the turn. Check your settings.

It took me about 20 minutes to complete this form on my iPhone due to glitches in your system. How Many many people would’ve given up after five minutes of frustration never posted their comment?

Turn instructions for intersections are given with only distance and not including street names. The final turn instruction is given about 50 feet from the intersection, resulting in missed turns and abrupt maneuvers by drivers.
Two suggestions;:
1) Give turn instructions with distance and the street name. Example turn left in 1/4 of a mile on State street.
2) Give the final turn instruction sooner so that the driver can have time to signal, change lanes or slow down to prepare for the turn. -

اضافه کردن نام خیابان ها و کوچه ها به راهنمای صوتی زبان پارسی. در مسیرهایی که چند شاخه میشود پیدا کردن مسیر اصلی فقط با شنیدن گردش به چپ و یا راست سخت و خطرناک است. اما شنیدن نام خیابان به راحت تر پیدا کردن مسیریابی کمک میکند.

For the voice settings i think there should be a choice for all of them whether we want the street signs included or not becuase for example I only speak English and for English there is only one that has the including street name which means I would have to stick with that one voice. I would like to switch my voice sometimes.

Without the names of the street names announced, its VERY confusing. I don’t know why WAZE stopped announcing them.

Client should be more descriptive when navigating through a road riddled with multiple junctions
