Waze has 2 styles for navigation guidance:
1 is full voice alerts; and
2 is alerts only for hazards and missed turn/exit/...

When normal navigation voice is selected, a voice will alert me of of an upcoming exit in 1 mile, then 1/4 of mile. sometimes a .1 mile and if another "turn" or "keep right" is after that, I might have 1-3 minutes of alerts and stopped music.

Because of this I mostly use Alerts Only but then this setting does not alert me of of upcoming turns unless I miss my exit. I must have the app open and must keep a vigilant eye on it.

If we were to have the same settings as full navigation voice BUT with a simple beep or sound instead of "Take exit #1 to St #2 East in 1 mile and then keep left" it would be the setting I would choose.

I want to know when a navigation event is coming but only with a beep sound.
