Banner notifications

I would be great if a banner notification would show if the app was running in the background and a turn was approaching. Apple maps does this, and if Waze did it, there would be no reason to use Apple maps ever again.

    I would also really value this feature! I often drive with "Alerts Only" sound mode, so having banners displayed when the app is not showing on the screen would be extremely useful!

    Thanks.

    Google Maps does this as well. I find myself using Apple/Google Maps more and Waze less just because of this capability.

    Google Maps on iOS does this also.

    I find myself preferring Google Maps or Apple Maps lately over Waze because I can get turn-by-turn banner notifications from them even when they are in the background.
