  1. Voice notifications in Car play are too loud and horrible

    The voice alerts are too loud and the voice is also very unpleasant to the ears and also it sounds like the voice is too much amplified that it sounds distorted/breaking.

    Please fix this bug. Otherwise providing feature to control the volume of voice alerts would be great. It is possible in my Audi to change volume of Alerts/Notifications/Navigation separately from the Music volume when using Sygic app.

  2. Knight Rider K.I.T.T 's voice Mr. William Daniels

    Please guys and girls end everyone else we really need K.I.T.T's voice from the show named Knight Rider from the 80s. It's a talking black Trans Am and you would be the only ones to have it even if I had to pay for the voice like I did for my old Garmin which I don't use any more. So please I really know you all can do it.

  3. Voice Input and HOV Options in Android Auto

    Allow for voice input (for stops/searches) while driving and give options for HOV travel while in Android Auto. Having to pull over while on a freeway to add a stop if it is not within your most recent stops is really frustrating and dangerous.

    Thank you for your suggestion!
    As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
    We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
    You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.

    We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

  5. Voice

    BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS UK VOICES.
    The new UK voices (with street names) in the May 2022 update are awful. The female one sounds like she is about to explode with excitement, warning you of a hazard, and the male like he has just spent years at a private school.

    Judge Judith Sheindlin of "Judge Judy" fame giving her acerbic, vitriolic instructions just like she does in the courtroom but only as a navigator.

  7. Give us access to all the voice models that Waze has.

    Instead of making something like a voice model scarce and using it as a tactic to create chatter and demand by needlessly and pointlessly limiting the supply of some of the voice models. Calling them limited time offers seems to be a calculated excuse used on a topic that so many people are interested in. Have a setting in the app for choosing the voice model that ports to a master file in your servers that we can download and use any model that Waze has ever had. Unless I'm completely out of my element and they are limited because…

  8. Change Voice Command Trigger

    Love that you have voice control now but could i suggest a change. Given what you do would it not be fun to say Hi Waze and then to close you could say Bye Waze. so you would have Highways and Byways.
    I'm sure we could get some other good road puns in there.

  9. Junction after junction only pre-alert by voice, no graphic indicates.

    Turn after turn only mention in voice over, has no graphic indicater. Ex. Keep right then the next keep left right aways less then 100 meter.

    It's easy to miss the second voice over, and it's very dangerous to driver.

    Such as: keep right 200 Meter + keep left 50 Meter.

  11. use voice directions based on signs

    voice navigation (following waze's directions by ear, without looking on the screen)
    as I understand, currently the orders are given by street name, this may cause difficulties in situation where route that should be driven has tottaly different naming and signs (happened to me...). my suggestion is to make a consideration in sign when defining the voice navigation for each junction, or let us the users to add the street name that is seen on the sign.

  12. Master Chief voice and all other sidekicks unavailable

    Formerly had the Master Chief voice from it's original introduction to this year when it suddenly vanished from my options. Now it's back and I cannot pick ANY sidekick voice options... I've tried all troubleshooting and I'm pretty sure it's a program glitch .. please fix 😭 I delete the app entirely, delete my cache, tried debug FIVE times and am truly gutted I lost the voice let alone likely won't have this resolved before it's gone again.... Never changed anything setting wise, just every option says there's an error

  13. Could you voice when…

    1. It would be nice to hear a Voice when there is a reroute option when there is an accident.
    2. It would be safer for the driver to be able to speak to Waze when there is an accident, police, hazardous materials on the road or a car on the side etc.

  17. Cha Cha Slide Themed Voice

    Upon selecting the "Cha Cha Navigator" voice, users are greeted with: "Welcome to the Cha Cha Navigator! Let's slide through traffic together."

    Instead of traditional directions, instructions are given in the style of the song:"Slide to the left" for a left turn."Slide to the right" for a right turn.Everybody clap your hands" when arriving at the destination.

    Playful warnings for speed cameras or police:"Speed camera ahead, cha cha real smooth now!"Customization:Users could also customize the intensity of the Cha Cha Slide references, choosing from "Mild Slide," "Moderate Slide," or "Full Slide" to suit their preference.I believe this playful and engaging…

  18. Implement user-configurable delay (in increments of 0.1 sec) for voice alerts

    Some vehicle Bluetooth implementations have lengthy handshaking which prevents the first second or two of Waze voice alerts from actually being heard. My car has a feature that ramps up the volume of a Bluetooth phone incrementally on first connection. However, the impact is that in most driving situations, the first two seconds are simply too quiet to be heard!

    For example, instead of "In 500 metres, turn right onto Main Street.", all you hear is ".. to Main Street". Obviously, this information is unclear and confusing, forcing the driver to glance at the map on the phone to verify…

  19. Simplified voice directions

    Voice directions can often be unnecessarily long and complicated (eg telling you not just the street or Road to turn down but the state route number which is irrelevant). I see you have bigger directions on and off options, but what about a simplified or minimal directions option? Where you only get Street names, you don’t get an initial “this torture is similar to state route bla bla bla” when starting directions, and perhaps even not several reminders about a turn, or if the next turn is within less than 1km you don’t have to hear the initial turn in…

  20. Courtney Ford as the voice speaker.

    I think it would be neat to have the News reporter Piper Wright (played by Courtney Ford) from Diamond City, from the Bethesda Game Fallout 4 as a map voice guide.
