Finally give the British audience the Miles and Yards we have been protesting for. Yes, in the USA they use Miles and Feet but I CANNOT VISUALISE A FEET. A yard makes sense since it’s a football yard. PLEASE DO IT.

I can't work out distance in feet. Totally unused in UK. Please change as really don't want to use Google maps.

The UK brain does not work in feet, we need yards + ¼, ½ & ¾ miles, surely this is not a difficult thing to do.

Km and m, ok
Miles and feet is wrong.
Miles and yards please!

Please change road distance to yards from feet. We use yards in the UK. Alternatively, provide options for drivers to pick which they prefer

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.

Whoever initially implemented driving distance in feet was probably someone who never driven (in a country using miles?)

Allow users to choose whether they want to use feet or yards, this better suits countries such as England.

Similar ideas to this have been ignored. You are missing out on potential users all because of a minor issue that can easily be solved.

Strongly support this. Definitely yards instead of feet for UK users

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.

The UK system is simple. Driving distances are always measured in miles and yards.

Flying in the UK is rather different. Distances are measured in nautical miles, and airspeeds in knots. Heights when flying at low levels are measured in feet, and at higher levels in flight levels (units of 100 feet).

Heights are measured in feet above the local ground, but altitudes are measured in feet above MSL (Mean Sea Level). Knowing the difference can be a matter of life and death. If you are coming in to land and your altitude is 500 ft that would be bad news at Biggin Hill, because the runway is 600 feet above sea level.

Oh, and visibility is measured in kilometres, and cloud cover in oktas (units of 1/8 of the sky). Simples!

Truly ridiculous this hasn't been implemented yet.

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.

I agree, feet for distance doesn't compute. We use feet for altitude. Google maps is far superior, measuring in decimal points of a mile. I've tried Waze a couple of times, but always go back to Google maps even though I think the longer time estimates on Waze are probably more realistic.

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