Why is this not already a thing? Surely its not that difficult to implement

In the UK we just don't use feet for road distances (including on road signs, which use yards). I just can't conceptualise what "1,000 feet" looks like without doing some mental arithmetic first, which isn't ideal while driving.

It wouldn't be so bad if we could select miles and metres as units, as at least a metre is close enough to a yard, although that would obviously be messy.

Please fix this, it's the one Waze limitation that keeps me looking at other satnav apps.

I’m a USA user and also don’t understand why Waze uses feet instead of yards. If you ever ran track, played golf or American football (or watched them on television), you’d be more familiar with yards than feet for distances. This should at least be an option.

I do not use Waze because of this, it is a major problem. I am from the UK, and we always use yards rather than feet, and, although dividing by three gives the "right" units, that is not something you want to be doing while driving. It is second nature to use yards, and unheard of to use feet.

I have just started to use Waze as an alternative to Google Maps. I find it works well but I I don't like having distances shown and spoken in feet. In the UK we are accustomed to working in yards. Note that road signs in the UK show distances in yards. It is very inconvenient to have to make mental calculations all the time to convert feet to yards. Please will you enable this change?

Will make the difference between whether I continue to use Waze or not. The use of feet does not allow comprehension of distance as quickly as yards for a UK user used to yards.

This stops me from using Waze

I can understand using feet as a distance when applied to walking at a casual pace however driving cars requires significant concentration and in particular faster processing. At 60 mph you’re travelling at 88 feet per second. How many people can convert 1250 feet to seconds whilst travelling at 60 mph? It’s actually 14.2 seconds. By the time you’ve calculated it you’ve most likely passed it. Let’s be grown up about this. Waze employs powerful computer processing so use it as intended.

We find it extremely frustrating that Waze uses Feet and not Yards. PLEASE consider changing this for UK users!

It is really ann9ying and stops me from using Waze

It appears this has been requested for years, but waze obviously more interested in speed bumps than sorting out what users really want, either that or they are just not interested in users in the UK.

Distance in yards please not feet for uk drivers.
