Voice activated screenshot function
We have all heard that famous line from police officers, "do you know how fast you were going?" Well a voice activated screenshot function would allow us to take a screen shot of our current speed, and the time. If we are in fact pulled over for speeding, and the police officer has ask that dreaded question, we would in fact have irrefutable evidence. I once got a speeding ticket for going 55 in a 35, i know for a fact that i was not going 55 because i had just started driving and was afraid to go over 20MPH.…

please bring the arnie voice back
Please bring arnie back as all the voices are really annoying and put me off driving. I would be happy to pay a subscription fee for this service.
3 votesThank 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!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -

Voice Nav: At the stop sign, turn left. At the stop light, turn right.
I was riding with a friend yesterday and the app he was using gave him voice instructions like "At the stop light, turn left" and "At the stop sign, turn right". This was way more user friendly and useful than using distances such as "In 300 feet, turn right".
Waze should add this functionality to its app as it's sometimes confusing which road to turn on when roads are close to each other and knowing that it's at a stop sig or light makes it very easy to figure out.

geofence, voice commands, brand partnerships
I work in advertising. We have a partner who wants to show baners on waze. That promotes looking at your phone while driving. Well what if you could talk to Waze or they could ask you what you need as you're approcahing. For example: GPS/Smart Fence with voice command/recognition asking "do you need gas?" Y - "there is a __ station in .5 miles". N - no response. Same w/ ATMs and food. "Are you hungry?" Y - "there is___ restaurant __miles." This allows waze to partner up with many vendors and have a lasting relationship promoting their brands. This…

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!

BT from Titanfall 2 as a voice
Similar to Master Chief, it would be pretty cool to have a trip voiced by BT from EA/Respawn’s Titanfall 2. Since BT is already a vehicle and talks to you while inside, it would fit pretty well.

Give us the voice of Gigi Saul Guerrero!
Gigi Saul Guerrero is feisty, ferociously funny, and a beloved member of the global horror community! She’s an actor, a horror film director, and the voices of Spider-Girl (Marvel Super Hero Adventures) and Vida (Super Monsters). Hailing from Mexico City, where she's known as “La Muneca Del Terror,” Gigi gained fans worldwide with her quick wit, infectious charm, and her mesmerizing timbre. (Her accent pairs well with two fingers of Casa Dragones.) Next time I drive the highways and byways of America, I want directions from Gigi Saul Guerrero!

I'd like to turn off the notification for a car on the side of the road but still listen to Rodger Federer's voice
The Car on the side of the road ding is so loud and obnoxious that I don't want to hear it. I still want to listen to the voice guidance. Please, either get rid of the ding or give me the choice to turn off alerts and still have the voice guidance.

Try out different voices
It would be awesome, if you could listen to the different voices before choosing one. I can only listen to the voice I chose when I am driving and that’s just not practical I think.

CATALAN voice is horrible.
eng: It sounds like an englishman which doesn't know enough the language.
Really unbearable. Almost any TTS is better than this one.
cat: Sona com si parlés un britànic que no sap l'idioma del tot. Alguna pronunciació és patètica. Qualsevol veu sintetitzada és millor2 votesThank you for your suggestion! Waze now supports many local languages. Please check under Settings > General > Language.

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.

Added Mikasa voice (Japanese) + Attack on Titan icon
Hello,
I would like to suggest two additions to Waze:
An official Japanese voice inspired by Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on Titan).
An Attack on Titan car icon, for example, the Survey Corps symbol or a visual style inspired by the series.
These additions would be greatly appreciated by fans and would make navigation more immersive.
Thank you!

Activate voice input when report button is pushed in Android Auto/Carplay or phone app
I would like the report button to start listening for voice prompts when pushed on the phone or android auto/carplay. I use Google Assistant for most reports and by the time I say “Ok Google” then wait for the prompt, then use voice reporting the pin is dropped significantly beyond what I was trying to report. Fumbling around with android auto to find the correct category is less safe and less direct than voice reporting and I usually end up hitting the wrong category.
