Create a way to narrow down the voice prompts! Why do the other Waze avatar icons around me never move? Speaking of Waze “people” icons, please come out with more options! But I would want to know if there’s a pothole ahead, an object in the road, or a police reported ahead. For example, I couldn’t care less about a car on the shoulder ahead, and it’s annoying to have my music interrupted by that stupid hazard alert. I wish there was a feature where you could customize which “hazards” to voice prompt. Also, I’m in the top 1%, but how do I know when I’m getting close to losing that prestige? How do I see if the population is catching up to me? Finally, the fact that it doesn’t tell you whether your destination is on the left or right is so irritating and basic that I’m shocked it’s not a feature. I know a certain route isn’t normally the fastest, but I also know my city’s traffic patterns and it won’t show it. Another issue is that it doesn’t show all routes.
Sometimes my app won’t show my icon but shows the “shadow” of where it’s supposed to be. I looked at my screen and the low battery 20% alert was up!! All of my background apps were closed, and there was no reason for my battery to plummet that quickly. I was at 43%, opened Waze & drove for about 12 minutes, decided to add a stop.
The battery drain when I use Waze is unreal. We download our favorite Spotify playlists regularly to be ready for both Costa Rica road trips and power outages. In addition, you may want to consider downloading media such as music, videos, or NETFLIX movies or Prime Video to your devices while connected to Wi-Fi for offline travel entertainment as well. Keep in mind that if you are out of range or have your mobile data turned off you will not get updates about delays, police sightings, and hazards. The voice direction and nearly all other features work even while offline. On Waze and other similar apps, this will download the trips entire map reducing the amount of data used and allowing for more accurate directions while out of cell range. If you are planning a trip and are expecting to use your phone for navigation, we recommend logging into your app while connected to Wi-Fi prior to leaving to reduce mobile data charges. The app is updated with road hazards and cautions from other drivers if you are connected with data that can help you avoid delays and danger. If you launch the app while connected to Wifi or data service, you can download the trip to the phone which will give you a more accurate location as you drive. We later found out that WAZE is a much more updated app for navigation in Costa Rica.
