    This idea is very underrated IMO. However, not just for daily driving.

    I don't want to enable voice guidance on my normal (80 mile) commute. However, I do want the guidance lady to tell me when to take a different exit than usually because of traffic/restrictions ahead.

    More than once was I greeted with Waze bleeping at me and showing "recalculating route" only AFTER missing the intended exit. Like John, I really want to have regular voice guidance off, it's just not necessary. But we also don't look at the mobile screen all the time for navigation in case Waze has found us a better road!

    Concrete suggestion:

    - Implement a 4th alert setting, "Alerts and detours" in between "Alerts only" and "Voice guidance"
    - Waze should calculate the standard route WITHOUT traffic or warnings and assume this is the road a driver would normally take.
    - As long as the calculated route coincides with the standard route, no voice guidance, only alerts
    - Only where the currently calculated route differs from the standard route voice guidance is enabled for that part of the route
