Peanuts voice
Those who are peanuts by Schultz fans and snoopyholics such as myself, would appreciate the peanuts gang voices as navigation such as Charlie Brown, Linus & lucy, Schroeder maybe even patty mayonnaise. This would be great For adults and kids, considering the fact that peanuts have had several movies in all different seasons Easter summer and all the others, it will be a real great idea.

Bluetooth power saving causes voice to be cut. Play custom sound file before.
Some phones and car radios have a power saving feature that mutes sound if no sound is played. Then, if a voice directive comes, it SHOULD be:
"in 100 meters, turn left"
but it IS:
"ers, turn left"So an option to let the user play a custom sound file befor every directive would be useful:
"[BING] ... in 100 meters, turn left."3 votesThanks for reaching out.

Country-based voices sorting
Why do users have to scroll an incredibly long list to choose which voice should guide them? How many users frequently use another language for their voices in the client?
Let's make the list country-based or, at least, configurable.For example: I'm Italian, I would like to have the three ITA voices on top of the list, but maybe you can't change the list based on positioning, so let give me the opportunity to sort my favourite voices manually on top!

Voice-over lady comments have to end!!!!
The voice-over ladies comments are absolutely annoying when you travel across country or just in our city...just stick to the facts without all the other quirky comments she makes. I.e...police ahead....don't need to include "and that is all I have to say about that!' PLEASE STOP THIS ANNOYANCE IMMEDIATELY. We don't need her commentary.

Calculate ETA based on own average speed
ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.
It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)

Voice reporting
It's dangerous to take your eyes off the road to tap the phone. Simple, single word utterances could be made for each button on the screen so reporting could be both timely, and safe.
1 voteGreat news! Voice reporting with Google Assistant is now available in Waze.

Wake up command and Voice Reporting
Hi the New beta is fine but we still need a button to report by speech, because you are still forced to press buttons on smartphone to report a situation we need a wake up command IN WAZE
(like hi Waze please report traffic ahead). Or Hi Waze Report. And Waze says: what would you like to report? Traffic ahead.
- same as google but google Assistent commands only affects and redirects to google browser..
Not waze it does nothing in Waze. Only google maps!
I noticed Waze doesn't have a

Fix the voice commands when using Android Auto.
Waze used to have a lot of voice commands that kept one from physically interacting with the APP. Since Google bought Waze, this no longer works.
Fix this. It is dangerous for me to have to physically interact with the app while driving.

Make Cody Rigsby’s voice available in more countries!
Was thrilled to see that Cody Rigsby has become an optional but fabulous voice on Waze, only to find that it’s got limited availability. Would love if it could be available in Australia, but also have seen that places like Canada and some parts of Europe have also been excluded. It would be fantastic if his fans around the globe could have the option to drive with Cody!

Simple Voice Commands To Respond to Alerts or Hazards
Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...
Problem: It is a dangerous practice to interact with screens and mobile devices while driving a vehicle. In response to safety concerns, laws are increasingly being put in place prohibiting interacting with screens (touching devices) while driving. Some simple voice commands would enable meaningful interaction with Waze in this situation.
Possible Solutions:
1) Only while an alert is displayed, enable very simple voice commands to improve the quality of alert (hazard warnings), for example 'Still there' or 'Gone'.
2) If/when…2 votes -

Fix the voice of Sara
I use the voice of Sara to navigate. I go on rt8 north from Ansonia ct to Seymore CT. befor I get on rt8 Sara says WAKELY st as it should be pronounced but when I get off exit 22 she pronounces WAKELY as WACKLY. WACKLY is not a street, road or ave in that area. On the screen it clearly says WAKELY when she says WACKLY.
She pronounces WAKELEE as WAKELEE but she pronounces WAKELY as WACKLY. There is no WACKLY.

Make navigation intuitive - have the navigation voice speak from the direction of the next turn.
Do you ever get confused with left and right?
My wife does, causing panic when she takes both hands off the wheel to for the "L" with both hands.
The solution, and also a darn cool feature, is to have the navigation voice "move towards" the junction you going to turn off on as you approach it, using stereo.
Problem solved - just follow the voice!

Give us back familiar voices.
Many people have expressed their disappointment and frustration that the voices in Waze have been changed with claims that the new voices are more "natural". On the contrary, many of us feel the voices are cold and we want the former versions back. We use the Italian Sofia and the new voice has no warmth or connection for us. Many other users have said the same of the English Thomas and Kate and other voices from varying languages. Please return our familiar navigators! The world is alienating enough without these changes!

Recommend a voice option with just 1 hazard button. Hit 1 button, WAZE asks what the hazard is, you say “pothole” etc
Have the option in settings to do voice notifications. Then there will be just one button to hit on the screen. Waze asks what the hazard is and we say, “pothole”, “object on road”, ‘Police” etc. This will make for a much safer journey.
