you just described it :)

wife uses it. everytime i'm driving and she sets that up instead of navigator on my phone i go crazy how it likes to show up chat and whatever covering all of the screen with total disregard for the importance of instructions on the screen.

basically it goes like that: "turn .... in x miles" in my head "was that right or left, let me see the map" popup! traffic alert|police|accident|chat x miles down (but never mind you are going to leave this lane sooner)

or popup! something in 1 mile! click here if it's not there ... popup disappears BEFORE you are there.

or popup! something important in this route, click here to change routes ...popup disappears the exact second you are on a red light and finally able to click the change route button.

anyway. call me old fashioned, but that interface sucks for everything. i rater use a saner gps. and even if i have a passenger, i'd rather he/she goes writing down the gas prices in gasbuddy than fighting with waze's interface
