Integrate Waze for iOS into Google voice search on the Google app
Would it be possible to use Google to search the Waze map database and open a URL to navigate to the destination? Using the same idea as when you click a facebook url, it opens the app and navigates to the relavent page or event etc?

Nathan
The Nathan voice has an annoying accent in American. Remove the dipthongs and give him pure Midwestern voice. Or give us some male unaccented voice here in u,s. Example: "half" has "a" as in Apple, not "heh-af". So annoying.

South African English voices
Please add South African English to the voices. I prefer to hear the terms robot instead of traffic lights and traffic circle instead of round about because it is just lekker.

I would love to add a girl group/band option for the voices
It would be awesome to have a girl group sound as one of the options. I think it would be awesome to have, and it would be even more awesome if I was the voice.

To mark street - Kids are playing
Dear Waze Maps,
My friends and I have come across a problem. This problem is kids playing on a community road/street. This presents a risk to kids , drivers , and property. For example , a kid who is playing on the road could get injured by a car hitting him/her. The car could also swerve and hit another car , injuring the driver and/or car. Another possibility is for the car to hit property like : signs , decorations , houses , or light posts.
A person who is familiar with the road usually doesn't use Waze maps ,…
204 votesWe plan to work on marking the street with playing kids in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

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!!!

Automatically turn on/off screen
Configure waze so that the screen turns itself off when there are no voice prompts for a long time or a long distance And automatically turned on the screen on a new warning or alert.

Use clear, distinctive voices
I've been using Waze for a while, but the new voice in the UK is not clear; bland and muffled compared to the old one. Turning the volume is annoying, especially since this is only a recent problem.
Since it makes the directions indistinct, Waze is less useful than it was.
Since it's distracting to try to understand it, continuing to use Waze has become a safety issue.1 vote -

Have an OPTION for arriving on the same-side of the street as the destination.
This would apply mostly to cities but it could also apply in other congested areas. Arriving on the wrong side of the street in a city situation can be as bad as arriving several blocks away since in order to turn into the parking for the building you cannot crossover the heavy traffic or possibly a median. Instead you have to come up with your own way of circling around (and there may be many 1-way streets to thwart you) to get your vehicle on the same side of the street as the destination so you can park/drop off or…

Once car stops very near location, turn off map and STOP giving voice directions. Obviously I've arrived already!
I arrive to my work building's parking lot and then park my car. Waze doesn't get the hint that I've arrived and the map is still on. It's obvious I arrived and waze needs to stop. I can't tell you how many times I've been embarrassed by waze in the office when I'm trying to sneak into my desk and think I've made a clean entry and Waze randomly goes: IN 100 FEET TURN LEFT ON.... Seriously? 5 minutes after I parked!?!? Stfu Waze goddamit!

Can we have a Newcastle upon Tyne Uk Geordie accent Please?
Can we have a Newcastle upon Tyne UK “Geordie” accent Please?
This is the same as Dad Jokes voice - so if the dad jokes could be removed and have just the alerts and directions this would be ideal.

hands free confirmation
Completely hands free navigation. Currently, if you tell Waze to navigate to a specific address, you are required to manually (using your hands) confirm navigation. Unlike Google Maps, which starts navigation immediately. Requiring to touch the screen is not safe, illegal in certain areas, takes your eyes off the road, and is counter intuitive to using voice navigation.

Do not lower or duck music volume whenever there is an announcement or prompt from Waze
Audio ducking or lowering music when Waze is making an announcement/voice prompt is freaking horrible.
Absolutely hate this forced feature as there is no way to disable it. It just spoils the whole driving and music experience.
Have separate volume adjustments for the background music app and Waze navigation volume. Or a toggle to disable/enable the ducking feature. So that music won't be forcefully lowered whenever there is a prompt or announcement.

Audible or visual indicator
It would be great to be able to get only an audible or visual indicator instead of voice-assist. So for instance, one "ding" or flash of the screen ahead of the need to take an action, and then one just before. Pretty much like voice-assist, but without voice.
