Police alert distance setting
I researched using Gemini (just as Waze also belongs to Google) to find out the distance Waze uses to warn about the presence of police, and it indicated it should be between 1 km and 1.5 km before the vehicle is located (approximately 2 miles); I have been receiving warnings less than half a mile (300 m) away. For notifications about police ahead, Waze could anticipate the warning a little further (2.5 km or 4 miles), or include the option to configure the distance, since they are occurring too close to the police officer's location, thus losing effectiveness (this has happened several times). I know it depends on who posted the warning. And whoever posted it may have done so slightly ahead of the police officer's location. This situation further justifies this change.
