The only setting that I wish they had is for trucks where you can put in your truck details so as to avoid low bridges etc.

Just be aware when setting your vehicle type. I set mine to 'taxi' and was directed up a residential street that was restricted to residents and taxis. Unfortunately, I missed the sign informing me of this, and it cost me an £80 fine. My fault, obviously but if you are in an unfamiliar area, it's easy to miss things.

One I have found that I like is learning Spanish (other languages available)  It teaches you Spanish as you drive.

Whats with the strange gloves?

5:19 I also use Avoid Difficult Intersection where I have no idea what Waze considers as difficult. Is it the ones with traffic lights or the ones from side streets? I've had it wanting to send me to get on a busy divided main road from a side street which I actually consider more hazardous that a 4 Way Stop or traffic light. It's done this so many times that the one learning is me, not Waze and I end up ignoring it and drive where it's most comfortable. So like any navigation app, take it with a grain of salt. Aside from what I've said, I still like the warnings and being able to contribute except for using the voice command option because it won't always catch what you're trying to say. Additionally when I started using it I could report blocked lanes and car on shoulder very quickly. But after an update that they did, they changed everything around.

Bonus: Always split long highway travels in separate sessions of navigation, each of them has not to be longer than 90\100km. This way Waze will consider any kind of street for detours instead of only higher category streets and will do it sooner. Actually if you're on a 300km drive it suggests alternatives only if you're going to lost hours on the congestioned highway you're on

It would be nice if WAZE would have a weather radar overlay and weather related warnings.

To keep your licence clean waze is fundamental,  I tried it first time this year and I felt in love with it, the warnings about speed cams and speed limits are life saving, specially if you go to an unifamiliar place this is as necessary as the petrol you put in the tank to avoid any fines or points in your licence

1:52 I was hoping for that but the suggestions are inconsistent. What Waze needs is to find a way to include traffic monitoring from traffic cams for example so that it doesn't route you to the expressway having almost standstill traffic.

Whatever happened to the simple joy of seeing your friends and family while driving? That feature vanished ages ago—it's time to bring it back and reconnect.

As another comment said, I'd love the ability to insert my RV measurements. That's vital. But otherwise some of these tips are awesome like to switch to Audible for books we love listening to when on road trips. Currently that's a bind to switch.

3:23 Go into settings, then MAP DISPLAY,  and then Speedometer. You missed a step.

Don’t set it to “taxi” mode unless you’re happy about being guided up a bus/taxi lane and getting a fine!

I set it to earn me when I was 25 over, I had to shut it off 😂

If you choose taxi, does that not take you down taxi/bus only routes which could potentially end up with you getting a ticket!

My Waze starts spinning around on my screen, especially in one certain area, for absolutely no reason. It opens on my car, android auto, with old drives listed in a box that has to be closed. And on the car, again, there's some calendar trying to tell me when a baseball game is and to navigate there. I've turned the calendar off on my phone, but it still shows up when the phone connects to the car. Yep, I'm getting fed up. And I've been using it for years...

good points perhaps most of which i happened to know already ... but glad to hear about again ... thanks 🙂

now, i have this important question though:

with Waze (as well as Google Maps) often tiimes if the app gives a distance of say 1.2 miles on a fresh start for practically ANY address we feed both programs to find the best route for us, after we actually press the Start or whatever button to start driving, then the distance goes up from, say, 1.2 to higher, sometimes MUCH more than what initally stated by the app ...

for example, 1.2 miles turns into 3.5 miles if not more ...

why is that? what's not working right?

Where do I change the voice setting for this video? My first question.
