Your voice guidance makes you look like fools
Dr. Joe Smith, MD is NOT "Dr. Joe Smith, Maryland," and the VA Hospital in Dallas is NOT the "Virginia Hospital." Mistakes like that make you look foolish. Really, is that the best programming you can come up with? Your voice guidance is incapable of recognizing context and common usage? Or how about the Famous name "Tennyson," like in the poet? Your guidance pronounces it "ten-eye'-son." Sheesh!

Invader Zim and Gir voice overs/ wazer icons
Would love to have Invader Zim and Gir options for voice overs as well as some wazer icons to match. I have a mighty need to receive orders screamed at from my evil alien overlord and be sung the doom song by my car. If the welcome started with Zim’s maniacal laughter or Gir sing the doom song, my life would be complete. 😂

Roll back to last usable version (fixing voice command and display issues)
The recent update added the gimmicky split-screen feature at the expense of everything that made the app usable. Until you can fix the following, please roll back to the last non-coolwalk version:
• Google Assistant voice commands do not work
• Speed limit is too small to see
• "Time Remaining in drive" is missingI would also like you to rethink the decision of replacing all the icons with ugly little black pills, but that isn't really a technical problem in need of a fix.

Cymraeg voices and diversity.
To accompany the wonderful Cymraeg-speaking Gareth on our journeys, would you please include a Cymraeg female voice? I could make some suggestions for voice actors if you were to take this further. Diolch!

Voice confirm or expiry of reports
One of Waze's greatest strengths is its community reporting system. However, Waze is much better at creating and confirming reports than it is at efficiently removing stale reports when conditions change.
As a result, users often encounter reports that were once accurate but are no longer valid because police have moved on, traffic has cleared, roadworks have finished, hazards have been removed, or weather conditions have changed.
The goal of this suggestion is to make Waze reports more current, accurate, and self-correcting by allowing users to safely confirm not only that a report is still valid, but also that it…

Have voice speak "Heavy" or "Moderate" or "Standstill" traffic ahead.
Need to have verbal notification of heavy, moderate and standstill traffic ahead. Not safe to look down at phone to see traffic ahead
17 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted. Thanks!

Add a full French (Canada) TTS voice with street name announcements
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to formally request the addition of a full Text-To-Speech (TTS) voice profile in French (Canada), including street name announcements.
Currently, only French (France) full TTS voices are available. While they function correctly, pronunciation differences are noticeable for Québec and Canadian place names. This affects clarity and user experience for French-Canadian drivers.
Given that:
- Québec represents a large and active Waze user base,
- Canadian French pronunciation differs significantly from European French,
- Other navigation platforms already support localized French-Canadian TTS,
Adding a French (Canada) TTS profile would significantly improve usability and accessibility for drivers in Québec…

Voice Activation
Can be used to confim/add road hazards and traffic situations. Example: hey siri, car stopped on shoulder or hey siri, confirm road stopped and it will add it. A app called Yazio does something similar where you can add 12 oz of water to your daily intake (calorie counter app)

For the benefit of motorcyclists could the output volume of the voice instructions be proportional to the estimated speed, above say 30 mph?

Add Voice Typing to the main screen. Google Assistant just does not work for searching, VT is much more better.
Add Waze's Voice Typing to the main screen for searching locations. Google Assistant just does not work for non-english city names. Sometimes you cannot even translate them. Voice Typing is much more better.

When can we add flemish voices again?
I remember that waze had besides the Dutch voices also flemish voices to help you navigate. For some reason they have been removed.
A huge group of flemish people in Belgium would appreciate the return of a flemish voice. (the same or another)
Thank you!3 votes -
