In the end, making U-turns is a balance between personal taste, turning-radius of the vehicle and properties on the map. (30 ton truck - check. Prefer no U-turns at all - check)

The issue isn't with U-turns in this case...it's the issue with waze routing people down dead-ends to make a U-turn at the end of the dead end, which could be a mile from where they turned off. If it would just say "Make a U-turn", things would be much better.

I was referring to the different types of U-turns, like (extreme narrow)single-node, #-crossing (less narrow or quite wide) or around the block. Going into a dead-end street (or making /any/ detour) just to make an extreme narrow U-turn at the endnode (announced or not) is at the extreme end of that spectrum.

For those spots where sunglare can happen - it is a combination of weather (clear sky) and angle/position of the sun. Both can be known from sources or calculation, and if the conditions are right for a spot, an alarm could be triggered. But... given Waze's record of not getting the automatic day/night switching right I wouldn't try to depend on it .

Winter-conditions are another tale: they could be known from weather-sources, the day that it starts snowing Waze could learn from observation what happens to the traveltimes and next year, as soon as weather-sources say it will snow - Waze could adjust traveltimes/give extra timepenalties to those streets that apparently are not cleared from snow etc. Also a nice idea but it will only add to the precision of routing on 5 or 10 days per year in those areas where snowfall is a problem. Count in some extra time for the Israelis to debug this!

To sum it all up: these are very much niche-wishes that do not influence commuting by 99% of the population. Do not expect the trouble of developing this to get justified anytime soon.

The passenger is clearly using Apple Maps.

No, he isn't. "Cool, I can see us on Streetview now!". (Zooming in) "Aw, you know we are driving in the wrong direction?".

Over here?

Do you really need the be ready?

Perhaps not, but I like the separation of the distance and direction. Maybe just a longer pause with out "be ready to"?

In the Dutch translation, we dropped the ready part, and made it sound just like the other prompts.

Close the lot and PM them. Explain they can use the livemap on the site to report distant problems without moving

Unfortunately the cow bought the farm after the massive unlock. A newbie deleted all segments that were not part of a roundabout (his nose and nostrils)... ((
