When I use the voice commands it keeps saying the town and then "island"!
See the title. The voice commands are great but why does it say the name of the town and then "island" and ask if that is correct?
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

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.

turning the Voice direction off automatically from 12 midnight up until 8 in the morning and just give alerts instead.
it's a good idea that voice navigation turns off after 12midnight until 8 am, because some of the family member make other family members wake up because of loud waze direction navigation,my father wakes up early at5:30 am and use that with a loud voice and disturb my sleep and wake me up!

Waze voice - fun Canadian accent "eh"

Auto-pause voice-nav-alert prompts based on GPS speed
While temporarily stopped for fuel, groceries, restroom breaks, it's annoying to hear turn left at State Road 19 navigation prompts from my back pocket. Can you automatically silence voice prompts based on gps speed? Of course this would need to be a user preference config. I saw a manual pause feature request, but I imagine drivers would get annoyed if they forget to re-enable it. The tech exists to auto-pause / auto-resume.

An interactive voice of a cat that looks like a dog
Hello, greetings from Costa Rica.
My suggestion is related to the voice of the cat in the application in Spanish...
The voice that is used and what the cat says is not related to the real behavior of the cat with respect to its owner, when listening to the cat it looks more like a dog, this is because what the cat says is said with great affection , gently and almost with the feeling of being more than happy, as literally a dog would.
A real cat would not make the instructions with that smoothness, it would even be…

Cantonese
Hi, I am a Cantonese user and I was wondering if it might be possible to introduce more Cantonese voice options for navigation.
I really enjoy using the app, but listening to the same Cantonese voice repeatedly can feel a little monotonous at times. Having more voice variety would be greatly appreciated.
I understand that Cantonese users may account for less than 1% of all users, but I still hope more options can be considered in the future.
Thank you very much.

Specific reporting should not be exclusive to voice reports
I and many others refuse to use voice assistants. I personally find it much more distracting/focus breaking. It's a personal choice.
If some people wish for simpler ux, that is fine, however the option to coherently and fully report animals, a vehicle stopped on the ROAD, etc etc, must be available to all users. If there is a dormant "enable classic reports" switch, please enable it, alongside map chat and comments, which is at this point unusable anyways. The feature is (was) especially useful for the shotgun passenger.

Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant
Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant on Samsung S22 phone. For example, if I have a friend named Jim and enter his address as a saved place in waze and name it "Jim". Then shouldn't I be able to open waze and say: "Ok google, drive to Jim". When I do that now, google assistant responds with "Sorry I don't understand". Isn't that a pretty basic functionality? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

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

Australian TTS voice Kylie is only available while I'm in Australia - why region-lock voices?
We live in a world where people aren't restricted by country borders, and so it's always frustrating when you're faced with a feature or an app on your phone that's not available simply because of where in the world you might currently be.
I'm Australian and have really embraced using Waze over Google Maps over the years. One of the reasons this has been so easy is because of Kylie, the TTS voice I have selected. However, when I go to another country Kylie suddenly stops being available and Waze sounds British or American with no option to change it…
