Just looking back, this same request to have user customizable alert distances has been requested for over 11 years. People clearly really want it, but for some reason Waze doesn't want to do it. Eventually another app will take over that offers this important feature I'm sure.

I have attention deficit and would like to be notified with sound until I pass the alert location.

Agreed. Dependent upon how much of a rush you are in, this is very important. Sometimes you’re only out shopping so it doesn’t matter too much whilst other times you are extremely late to Work or for Work. So for example; I am a nurse where I do house visits & sometimes I need to get to a patient’s address very quickly and to be alerted that a particular route is delayed by traffic, an accident oh a police incident would really really help me in deciding if I need to choose another route. Not letting me know 500 feet away when I’m almost stuck in it guaranteed, but letting me know a good five or 10 miles away so I can make an informed decision. I was also once on a major jewel carriageway and came upon a large fridge freezer that must have fell off the back of a van which lie horizontally across to lanes. I reported it via the app only to come back in the direction an hour later, and it was much further away than I reported because of the time delay between, by the time it took me to click report, what I’m reporting and upload time. If I was a hit such a heavy object at 70 MPH, my vehicle would’ve been completely written off and I would’ve been injured, hopefully not hitting anybody else. Being told much more in advance and having a more accurate location pinpointed is definitely vital to this app.

v.4.88 and earlier would display in tenths of a mile how far to the hazard (Police, Object On Road, Etc.). The latest version no longer shows this. Also, you could touch another icon (say a yellow triangle) on the map and it would a) say what it was and b) how far away it was from your current position. This is not possible now with the later versions. Some blogs were stating this was requested by law enforcement but I tend to doubt that. Not sure if this was intentional or an oversight but it's keeping me (and some others) using older versions (giving up the Coolwalk split screen for a version that works). Lastly, not related, the later versions have a GPS bug for it's current position yielding constant zooming in and out.

Please add an option to select how far from a hazard that a notification is triggered.
The default is too short for some alerts eg "Police Reported Ahead"

It would be nice to have two time alert for camera. First 1km before, second 300m.

One Mile warning is the biggest improvement you could make to an already cool app!

Definitely, the ability to customize the distance the alerts are given to suit the driver's personal requirements. It also may be different for different types of alerts. For me, for example, I would prefer that a "Red light camera ahead" warning was provided much closer to the intersection than it is currently, as I find with the current warning distance, I can have 2 or maybe 3 sets of lights between me and the "red light camera" set of lights, and I have forgotten there is a camera there by the time I reach the affected intersection.

I agree that alerts should be given at different distances, but time/speed dependent. I see little benefit to changing police reports as the majority of the time from my driving the cops are no longer there. I don't think the police report is meant to benefit speeders.

maybe set the distance dependant on the density of the roads / road speed limit / road type? For Freeways, leave at 1km, on Local Streets 100 m.

I’m not a fan of the latest app update. Previously, the approximate distance was displayed for the item the driver was alerted to. The distance no longer appears. Please bring this back.

Recent update removed the distance for all alerts (e.g. accident in 0.4 miles). Now you have to look closely at the map the to see where it is. Very distracting and unsafe!

Make the distances of audio navigation alerts configurable.

example: I would like to activate changes of direction only before 200 meters

exemple : je souhaite activer les changements de direction uniquement avant 200 mètres

Count down distance to speed limit change, e.g. "300m to 30mph limit"

One mile police report would be great

the still there and not there buttons are too close together and above each other. they should be at the bottom of the screen and next to each other to prevent finger bounce from hitting the wrong button.

Show distance to next stops (Fuel, Rest etc) on Highways/interstates on the main screen during routes.

(Similar to what Petal maps is doing) (and IO maps 15 Years ago)

Allow changing alert notification timing

Add close proximity alert option (~500-200ft) for all Speed Cameras and Red Light Cameras. The current singular alert at 0.2 or 0.3 miles away is useless in an urban setting, where such distances can be entirely different neighborhoods or even boroughs and drivers should not take eyes off busy roads to view a navigation screen. Current alert is less beneficial than just stating changes in speed limits.

Wave was always great giving reminders that a speed camera is coming on the driving path. However it was changed. Now the app notification is 1/2 mile away abs only once. In New York that 1/2 can take some time to travel. So please return the notification to a closer usable distance and also allow more than only one time
