Gas stations and TTS enabled

Still no update when Tom and Samantha will return to Philippines' TTS?

Just a bit scary at first because you will be back as baby wazer . But multiple closing and opening of waze will bring back your status. I just lost my favorites because at first i did not know the command ##@restorefav in restoring favorites.

Also worked for me.

Any advise when the TTS can be fixed? I know there is no ETA to fix based on the thread but somehow there might be an update by now already. Just curious how TOM and SAMANTHA will pronounce the local streets.

Thanks also to bgaltman for sharing in detail the procedure for android kitkat.

How about for an android 4.2.2 Jellybean device, does any one knows how?

Please! Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

We are very happy to announce that we enabled two important features for the drivers in the Philippines - Gas stations and TTS (text to speech) !!!

The Gas stations feature will allow drivers to update gas prices for stations nearby, providing the community of drivers the most accurate prices and let them filter stations by price from the settings menu.
To update the price at a station open the reports menu and select the Gas Prices icon.

The TTS is an audio feature that uses the street names in voice navigation.
Please see our manual for enabling the feature and play with the settings:

We would be happy to hear your feedback!

Enjoy

Thanks Mapsir and the Waze Team for the good news.

It's good to know that we, Pinoy Wazer are no longer left behind for this new technological advancement, enjoyed mostly by the first world country.

Cheers!!

Tom and Samantha now appears on the latest release from Waze (R3.8.1).

Same issue with iOS 7.1.1 . TTS have issue. no street name feature voices on my list

Waze App- Release 3.7.8.0

Thanks for activating the Gas Stations and TTS using street names feature. This is very much appreciated by the Waze users here in the Philippines. I have a couple of feedback though.

I am an Adroid user running the latest Waze version Release 3.7.8.0.

1. The Gas Stations & Prices menu on settings menu seems to sometimes disappear. Restarting the application a couple time fixes this. Any ideas why this is happening?
2. For the TTS using street names feature, the voices of Tom and Samantha are not on my list. How can this be resolved?

Thanks and looking forward for your thoughts on the items I have mentioned above.

Phone Specs:
Model Number: GT-N7100 (Note 2)
Android Version: 4.3
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-2437454
Waze Version: Release 3.7.8.0
Waze Username: cryptmaster

Hi guys,

In order for the TTS to be enabled on your device you need a good GPS reception,
Once the system recognizes your location it will automatically enable the feature.
So please make sure you have GPS and Wifi or Data working good.
