More UK Voices WITH STREET NAMES
Please give some more options of voices that include street names with differnt UK accents. There are so many variations of accent in the UK and having some more options that still include street names would be amazing! I used to love Kates voice but the new one is so much worse. Please create some more UK voice options!!

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!

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.

Average-speed zone UI and stationary camera voice alert
In landscape mode the vertical green bar for distance to an average-speed zone disappears. Keep it visible in landscape.
Show time of entry into an average-speed zone and the earliest allowed exit time, so the driver can judge speed to the exit.
Add a short voice alert when approaching a stationary speed camera. There is none today.
Thanks

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Voice alerts only for red light cameras and railroad crossings
Voice alerts only for railroad crossings and red light cameras. It is very annoying to have to hit the close button in order to see the map every time you hit a railroad crossing or red light camera. Especially now that red light cameras are popping up constantly. Having to hit the button is distracting.

Voice/audio command instances & timing
The timing of the audible commands should be perfectly consistent. I drive a semi thru all 48 states and sometimes it seems like the audible voice command forgets or seems to pick and choose when to tell me the next instruction, and I would like to not have to mess with my phone while driving to pull the wave app back on screen if it isn't already, read the instruction, and navigate the onscreen map to see where to turn while in heavy traffic on urban roads/hwys I'm unfamiliar with trying not to miss my turn. Sometimes, it'll announce 300…

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!

Context-Aware Voice Instructions
To improve the clarity and relevance of voice instructions in Waze, I propose integrating advanced contextual awareness into the navigation system. This feature would include:
Detailed Contextual Cues
…1. Landmark-Based Instructions: • Incorporate landmarks and notable points of interest into navigation prompts. For example, “Once you go past the Costa Coffee on your right, prepare to turn right” or “After you pass the second set of traffic lights, switch to the left lane and prepare for a left turn.” 2. Milestone Guidance: • Provide instructions based on specific milestones in the journey. For instance, “Continue straight until you reach the2 votes -

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.
