It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier - maybe even by alert type so that constriuction alerts could be set at 20 miles - and police alerts at 1.

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

Hunter Thompson commented
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

Set Speed Camera alert always on regardless of current speed. This is needed on UK Smart Motorways where limits are set below the national speed limit.
Set mobile Police Speed Camera van alert distance to 1 or 2 miles.
Set speed camera or police visual Alert colour on Android Auto. The current flashing blob is not visible enough. Let us make it bright red to see it more clearly on the cars nav screen.
The main reason I use Waze is for the Speed Camera alerts but the lack of these options is making it very frustrating to use. Please add these options if possible.

to see if the vehicle on the side of the road or the patrol officer is there. Remember if we are driving and looking out for ourselves, and a notification voice says, Vehicle on side of the road in 1.2 miles. We begin to look for that. Dividing now our attention between driving and looking ahead to see if there is still a car on the side or patrol person. I feel myself often rushed and straining to see up the road. If there is a curve, or a semi in front of me I can't do anything until its too late. The warning is gone and I can't help. I would only hope you could add a couple more seconds on showing that STILL THERE / NOT THERE message. ty

Would like a way to determine the distance I am from a road hazard, police, construction or traffic delay. If there is a way to click on the appropriate icon to see exactly where the problem is I haven't been able to find how. I'm usually a very short distance before being warned which doesn't help much if there's a traffic delay & I might have been able to exit the highway beforehand. BUT I love waze.
