Fix the C3PO voice advice.
The voice suggests, "Turn right (or left), Master." This is offputting to many of us, sensitive to the term, 'Master', implying slavery. Perhaps if he said, "Turn right (or left), Master Jedi, it would be more acceptable. As an Uber driver, I've had riders complain about that, so I went back to the generic voice.

Essential + Limited voice navigation during phone call
When making phone calls in the car, voice navigation can be highly distracting, yet it's still important to have critical turn-by-turn navigation when you're headed to an unfamiliar destination.

Notification-style sound instead of voice.
Waze has 2 styles for navigation guidance:
1 is full voice alerts; and
2 is alerts only for hazards and missed turn/exit/...When normal navigation voice is selected, a voice will alert me of of an upcoming exit in 1 mile, then 1/4 of mile. sometimes a .1 mile and if another "turn" or "keep right" is after that, I might have 1-3 minutes of alerts and stopped music.
Because of this I mostly use Alerts Only but then this setting does not alert me of of upcoming turns unless I miss my exit. I must have the app open…

Voice Instructions: Bear Right, Keep Right
Voice navigation instructions use "Keep Right (Left) in 2 conditions making it a bit confusing: When on an undivided road approaching a divided section of the same road, and when approaching an intersection with a gradual right (left) turn. "Bear Right (Left)" would be a more appropriate instruction for the 2d situation.

Voice directions repeats and updates
If I receive a voice message of probable long duration e.g. "Follow route for 10 miles" followed by a period of silence I get nervous after a time that I have made a road selection mistake. An on-screen option or a Settings switchable option to repeat last voice message or current voice message would be reassuring eg every 5 miles or every 5 minutes..

Listening tone.... When ready to accept a voice comand
When you tap to give a voice comand a box comes up with a red bar that turns green when the app is ready to listen to the comand.... If you speak to early you have to try again and unless you keep you eye on the bar you have to guess when to start to talk. There should be a tone that signals the green listening mode.

A voice for parents that reminds them to take the kid out
Every year we have several cases of kids who are forgotten in the car. Add a voice that is just like the normal one, only after saying "you have arrived" it reminds you to make sure no one is left in the car.
It can also be another notification recorded in all voices and if you mark you are a parent, it will be added after each ride.11 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already includes a Child in Car reminder. To enable it, go to Settings > Reminders > Child in Car reminder

Ability to save or purchase Voice Options
when the Minions voice went away, it caused a meltdown with my children!
Would love the ability to save a voice, but honestly I would purchase the Minions voice if it was possible!
