JEREMY CLARKSON
A Modest Proposal: Jeremy Clarkson for Waze Voice Navigation
Dear Waze Team,
Let’s cut to the chase — Waze is brilliant. But you know what would make it truly exceptional?
Jeremy Clarkson.
Not just as a voice. As a driving philosophy. Imagine:
“Turn left... or don’t. I’m not your mother.”
“Traffic ahead. Caused, presumably, by a Prius.”
“You've arrived. It's no racetrack, but it'll do.”
"In 200 meters Turn left-- unless you drive a beige Volvo. In which case, please stay home"
Clarkson is the voice of speed, sarcasm, and barely-contained road rage — everything a morning commute needs.…6 votes -
Android Auto default on Go button when POI selected
I have a car with touchpad/buttons to select with no touchscreen.
When I search for a point of interest (usually through voice commands) and select from the list, it displays information about the poi, but I need to move the cursor all the way to the Go button to start the trip. This is a hassle without a touchscreen.
Can this be defaulted to the Go button to make the selection quicker and safer?
Alternatively, can we start the trip ("Go") with a voice command?

I think it would be great if users of the app were able to accumulate the different voices that are periodically made available
I think it would be great if users of the app were able to accumulate the different voices that are periodically made available for whatever occasion it happens to be. It is like a badge of honor to collect each voice and add them to the collection. For the users that downloaded the voice during the event they get to keep it and use it permanently. For new users it is something to look forward to.
Currently people are using this workaround to use whatever voice they want:

Limiting typing while "driving" does more harm
Voice only while driving limitation is only making the driving much more distracting and dangerous in certain non-english areas such as Bulgaria for example. Where the voice commands are not working properly. I want for my passenger to be able to type in an address while I am driving, so I won't be distracted by battling with the voice commands and constantly checking what was actually found by them and if it's the correct place. Also why is that even when I pull over and completely stopped I still can't type in. My car is not moving... It's really a…

How about making voice navigation work in WP8 again.....

Hi, my wife and I were recently in Iceland and thanks to WAZE we were able to successfully navigate 2,000km of roads without any issues!
I wish I had recorded the voice of the navigator directing us around the roundabouts on our way into Reykjavik…is there anyway you can send me an audio clip with the voice giving directions…the sound of the navigators voice made us laugh! Thank you!!!

Too hard to report object on road

Police alerts should be added to voice alerts (in alert only mode)- this cost me a driving ticket!
In “alerts only” sound mode I do not get police notification, only Speedtrap (stationary traps) so dynamic user-generated police notifications are not notified- this cost me a speeding ticket -+ driving school last week!

Create a free instruction in case of change of name on a freeway
On a freeway, when the name changes without the direction changing, there is no voice instruction that is appropriate. We can only use a "Continue straight", which we might hear miles earlier.
My suggestion is, inside the Visual instruction, to have a free instruction available, which in this case could be "You are entering on A7". Why in Visual instruction? Precisely to avoid hearing the voice instruction miles earlier. Since the Visual instruction is not subject to propagation, make sure it is useful, which is the case here.

Have real residents of certain cities volunteer for giving directions around their cities
I think it would be cool to have voice directions from real residents of cities to tell you where you're going. For example, I'm from Houston, TX, and I would love to do the voice directions for my city, especially since I can pronounce some of the stranger-named streets and roads.

Voices
Dear developers, please keep the themed or promotional voices available! The work has already been done and it has already been approved by the users so do not delete the files that we have downloaded already and we like it!
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. -

Rowan Atkinson as "Blackadder"
Blackadder, from the British sitcom of the same name, has a cutting and sarcastic wit which would be ideal for a sat-nav voice.
