  1. I'm using Waze on an in-car Pumpkin Android stereo. It goes well, except it has a lot of trouble understanding my voice if the radio is play

    I'm using Waze on an in-car Pumpkin Android stereo. It goes well, except it has a lot of trouble understanding my voice if the radio is playing. Can a setting be added that will mute/reduce volume of other audio outputs while in listening mode? Activating Google voice input is an example of how it should be.
    Thanks.

    Your search - I drive for Uber & Lyft. I love & use waze all the time. However, I can't seem to turn off the voice while using waze. I would rather read the directions then be told multiple times on where to turn. How do I turn the voice off? - did not match any answers in Waze Help.

  9. Pause playback during audio alerts (for audiobooks)

    Currently the Waze sounds turn the volume of whatever is playing the background down, causing me to miss words of audiobooks. Add an option for "Audiobook mode" to pause playback during Waze alerts/navigation voice.

  12. Ok Waze

    Bring back the ‘OK Waze’ voice search.

    This was an extremely useful feature to enter a new destination whilst driving. Unsure why it was discontinued. Now you have to touch your device to enter a destination.

  14. Voice navigation starts route straight away

    When on a route I sometimes need to say 'take me to the nearest gas station' when I need to fill up and do not know the nearest but want to add a stop.

    However it then prompts me to click on a particular option, which is illegal when driving. You should implement 'select XXX' feature or just start a diversion to the nearest so I don't have to pull over to touch the screen.

    Even when saying 'Take me to BP insert town' it still has to do a search and you have to click - it won't…

  16. PERMANENTLY disable sounds including after updates

    Stop turning the damn sound/ voice back on with every f-ing update. We turn that crap off for a reason and I am getting tired of resetting the sounds to OFF with every f-ing update!

  17. Please add a signal of some kind to alert us that you will be speaking a direction..I miss the directions if I am listening to music.

    Before voice directions, please insert sound of some kind to alert us that the voice direction is coming so I can turn down the radio or the music.
    By the time I turn down the music, I've missed the voice directions.

    Or, is there a way to repeat the voice direction--

  20. Display complete voice command list in app

    The complete list of recognised words and commands needs to be displayed in the app. This should be available from the settings menu, and maybe as an option following the "I didn't understand that" response.

    There is a list at https://support.google.com/waze/answer/9332876?hl=en#zippy=%2Cwhat-you-can-ask-the-google-assistant-to-do-in-waze but it took me ages to find it on a laptop - I need it on my phone in my car.
