    Sadly, it's clear that for whatever reason Waze chose to replace Kate (UK) with a rather unpleasant alternative, and however unhappy Waze users are about it, nothing is going to happen. I'm off to try out Apple Maps.

    I have been using the new "Kate" for a couple of months or more and honestly, it really is poor. Poor pronunciation (it directed me to "Luffton" the other day - Loughton is pronounced "Lau-ton") and poor diction with attendant glottal stops - "Go Strai'on". Please bring back the old, English, female Kate. For those who like glottal stops etc., keep this new voice by all means, but please give us one just speaking plain English, and with a female tone as opposed to something so very androgynous.
