    The Problem:
    Currently, Waze only offers a binary approach to voice prompts:

    Full Instructions speaks too frequently and interrupts audio/calls.

    Less Chatty provides insufficient guidance (often right before the junction), not leaving enough time to safely change lanes in heavy traffic.

    Proposed Solution:
    Introduce custom controls or distance thresholds for Voice Guidance:

    Allow users to set a preferred lead-distance preference (e.g., "Announce turns 500m/300ft before junction").

    Add granular toggles for specific prompt types (e.g., "Street names ON", "Highway lane guidance ON", but "Routine straight-ahead confirmations OFF").

    Why this helps:
    Gives drivers full control over audio interference while providing adequate advance warning for turns, improving both user satisfaction and road safety.
