What do the sounds mean?

[bulpup]

Is there a listing of sounds and what they mean somewhere? I use Waze on my motorcycle and can't see what the screen says but I hear all kinds of noises through the headset.

I'm not 100% on this, haven't been using Waze very long, but the two *sounds* I hear that don't correspond to on-screen prompts are:

a. Waze rerouting, either due to you passing a turn or street it was directing you toward or Waze losing your correct GPS position (Cell phone GPS's aren't very accurate. If you look at GPS points in the map editor you will see user GPS tracks all over the place) which can result in *multiple* reroutes until it fixes your position again, or -

b. Driving over "road candy", i.e. a points reward for meeting certain criteria. *Note, your vehicle icon will change briefly when you "eat" "road candy". It may also do this when "munching" (driving over unverified roads - shown on map as roads with consecutive blue dots.) Your vehicle icon will appear as a "pac-man-like" icon when "munching".

As far as I'm aware, any other audible cues will appear with a prompt on the display (i.e. hazard ahead, etc.)

Hope that helps.

There's the ping noise for that.

What is the one that sounds like a cork being popped?

Sounds like Facebook chat, don't remember that one on Waze.

I think the cork noise is when road candy appears on the map,

then a ring-a-ling sound when you drive over it.

okay thanks. The first time I heard it I was driving past a place called Bottle King. I thought maybe there was a different kind of connection.

That would be brilliant wouldn't it?

Location-based audible advertizing.

Drive by a bowling alley you hear pins falling,
by a water park - water splashing,
and by a McDonalds, a heart monitor flat-lining

Lmfao!! Ok I almost made a puddle on the floor reading that....
The pop is indeed the road sweet popping up, and if you drove over it you'd have heard the congratulations soundbite.

You only thought it was funny because I used the word "brilliant".

And that's only because I've been watching reruns of Top Gear UK
