Automatically remove pop up boxes under certain conditions
Please program an if/then response to automatically remove (without interaction) floating boxes when a road or lane change is required.
Please make floating boxes automatically disappear within .1 miles of an intersection requiring a turn.
They block the most important info that is needed, the actual map and road view.
A priority rule should be programmed in the app.
On highly congested roadways and unfamiliar highway interchanges, it is completely unsafe to read or click "still there" when that text box is covering all of the important lane information needed to get on or off in the correct lane of an unfamiliar highway interchange during rush hour. Stop and go traffic, multiple lanes, confusing maps, over crowded screen noise is unsafe under certain conditions.
I highly suggest making a clean and crisp image of the roads and intersections the ONLY visible things on the screen within .1 miles of the turn or transition (.2 miles would be better).
Top left is names of roads and distance. The rest of the screen should be an overhead view of upcoming roads with highlighted path.
No blue pop up screens should ever be allowed for more than a couple seconds here. For safety, this has to be a quick notification and then disappear, if Waze deems it more of a priority.
I don't know how many times I was driving through Chicago or the Twin Cities where the blue bubble was asking me if construction was still going on?!?!! It's fricken Chicago, construction will never end. I'm in a vehicle surrounded by intense and insane drivers driving cutthroat to get where they want to go and I can't see the overhead because I have to take my eyes off the road to lean and click a "still construction" blue box that is hiding my map... the main reason I use the app!
It is not intuitive and it is unsafe and it causes stress.
I cannot see what I am doing.
I cannot read what the bubble says.
I need to safely look in front and beside me and try to read road signs and I need to keep both hands on the steering wheel.
Please write a program that removes everything but what is necessary to provide the service that people use your app for, when getting close to an actual turn or road change.
Once the turn is made, go back to normal and use the blue pop ups to do whatever.
The act of taking the eyes off of crazy traffic in an unfamiliar area to press a button on a pop up, just to provide access to the roadmap, is unsafe. It shouldn't require an interaction in certain spots.
Please.
I implore you.
