Business Icons Overlapping Navigation Directions
What if the icons / markers / commercials for the paying customers / businesses would not cover the navigation directions completely? Nor the icons of "Police", "Speed Camera" and other users' reports?
I'm keeping the audio set on "Alerts only" and we almost missed a road exit completely masked by a LIDL store icon (we were on a suspended intersection somewhere in Slovenia / Croatia, the store was somehow below us and its icon completely covered the navigation direction). Then it happened again with a speed camera, then a police radar had the same faith...
Luckily, the alerts are also accompanied by an animated circle which is bigger than a potential overlapping icon marking a business but the navigation arrows are not. So maybe you can do something about this, i.e. by adding some kind of transparency to the commercials or by not rendering them at all (or by giving them a smaller size) if they tend to overlap navigation indications or alerts.
Thank you!

Here is a (rather poor, being on the opposite side of the road) sample of a LIDL icon (LIDL hits again, d'oh! :D) completely covering a Police report. The picture was obviously taken with some delay, the Police icon became visible once we've got closer, but there may be another police or a road work or ANYTHING else hiding under the upcoming Penny store, too. And in the cases of suspended roads, the assistance Waze offers is... suspended too. :/
