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!

I do PREFER Waze native TTS voice to the native TTS voice in android.
Hearing the native TTS android voice employed by Google maps tempts me to violence to my own phone. Yes, native android TTS voice is that horrific.
BIG Kudos to Waze!

Also allow user to specify audio channel for Waze TTS ... to avoid conflicts with other TTS navigation products

Yes, this is such a useful feature when driving somewhere that you don't know and don't have time to look at the screen long enough to read the road name that you need to turn on to....

This is why I don't use maze all the time because in busy cities I need an alert using street name in addition to just turn

Adding this would really make WAZE a contender in the Navigation arena. I don't currently use WAZE for point A to point B navigation because of the lack of this feature. But implementing this would pull me away from Google Nav and TeleNAV.

I suppose since you said the "Android and iPhone" T2S engines that means it won't be available on Blackberry?

I think this is the best option to really propel Waze beyond the competition.
