It's been posted that perhaps Facebook friends setting may be causing this issue

(I've been using the application for 3 yrs and this is my first major issue)...

When I launch the application it finds my current location. I select navigate and we're off to the races. Sometime within the first mile or so it loses the GPS signal and my current location stops updating, then the little status bar across the top of the application comes up and says "No GPS...." (something about not being able to find the signal. Eventually it finds the signal again after I've traveled 5 or 6 miles, updates the map, and then looses the signal again. This repeats over and over.
If you haven't already, please submit logs from either Settings or Help menu.

To get even more data to the developers, put Waze into debug mode by entering "2##2" into the navigation search box and hit enter. Then, let Waze do it's thing as you have noted above. After that trip, make sure to upload logs again. You can exit debug mode by entering the same code again. (It's a toggle.)

After you submit logs, go to the Support page, and fill out the nanorep QuickHelp form, using the Email link. Give some details as you've done here and note the date/time you uploaded the logs. This should help them find and squash this error.

It's still there. Minimal allows you to select the various voices from the other settings menu. I think in General.

ohiostmusicman wrote:Ah, ok I figured it all out.

Is it just me or does it seem odd that there aren't the same settings for all the None/Minimal/Full Guidance options? I think that the voice type should be an independent option from the guidance options. Just my two cents...
It sounds to me as though the recordings are more phrases than words or phonemes. If that is true, there would be separate recordings for Minimal vs. Full.
Yes, minimal is all pre-recorded sound files, which is why the street names cannot be included.

It says it on the screen.... One has street names, the others do not.

To be clearererer: turning off voice commands will not stop the blanking, but turning the feature to 3-finger tap only will do it.

The bug is currently alerting in meters instead of feet.
