Follow friend.
Sometimes share one trip more cars (users). For example Business trip or holiday etc. it means two or more cars with the same destination. One of them knows WHERE to go (where is destination) and the others follow him. One car is the leader. In this case could be very useful to add feature called "Follow friend". In MENU where are Friends, add this feature (click on name of leading user and choose "Follow friend") and when the leading user accepts the request, he becomes as a "Moving destination" for user (users) who asked him. The other use of this feature is "Follow ME" when leading user invites friend (friends) to follow him. When friend(s) accept it, they can follow him.
Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.

When having family traveling great distances, it would be nice to be able to view their progress on my desktop vs my phone.
Also, after an ETA is sent and accepted to view, it would be nice to be able to go back in the app and see the entire route vs just the destination -- since most of the time my location is the destination.

I was going to add this as an idea. I think it would be really good for those in convoy. You could add a set of messages you could send to those in convoy such as 'stop at next gas', 'i have broken down'.....

In an older version of waze when sending ETA that person got a link with an interactive map that continuously updated your location. It was awesome! Now you must be a logged in it only updates your location every min or so. So you jump on the map and it's not fun to watch your person arrive anymore. Please bring it back, at least as an option in settings. With a warning about batter life. I loved it. It's sad that you got rid of it. Please bring it back.

I organise motorcycles trip and i'd like to register the road they have to follow and share it to participants. Waze could be a road book combinated to a "talk walkie" to help people to not loose their way and the group.
thank you for your help ;-) -

Gostaria de poder seguir um amigo (com aprovação dele, claro!) Isto seria interessante para pessoas que viajem em mais de um carro e somente um sabe os melhores caminhos.
Muitos vão dizer que basta colocar o mesmo destino mas já passei por situações onde uma pessoa que está acostumada a dirigir em um local conhece mais que o Waze e por muitas vezes acabamos por não conseguir avistar mais seu guia e não saber para onde virou. Se o Waze tivesse uma maneira de mostrar o caminho desta pessoa pra mim eu não precisaria ficar "colado" na traseira dele e me preocupando em não perde-lo de vista. Quem passa por isso sabe o que estou dizendo! -

Ween you drive in a group you need one car to declare "follow me" and the others can be invited by the driver to follow him and see his location on the map to follow him, and also the route he took to get there. If they want to use the same route.

Is there a way to be able to make a route (on my computer) then post or list it to other people I am in a Car Club with (Porsche Club of America) so that we can all see and follow the same route in real time.
PS love Waze -

היי.
הרבה פעמים, כאשר קובעים להיפגש עם חברים, מכרים וכו' במקום מסויים, תמיד יהיו כאלה שיקדימו וכאלה ש... מה לעשות? יאחרו! אלה שמקדימים נוטים להציק לאלה שמאחרים בהודעות טקסט ושיחות טלפון בהם נשאל האדם המאחר: איפה אתה? מתי אתה מגיע? באיזה רחוב אתה נמצא? באיזו שעה תגיע? ע"מ למנוע את כל השאלות הללו, אני מציע פתרון פשוט:
שיתוף מסך הניווט של האדם ה"מאחר". איך לעשות את זה טכנית? זאת אשאיר לכם. אבל בגדול:בגוגל דוקס קיימת אפשרות לשתף אדם ספציפי בעריכת הקובץ ע"י מתן הרשאה. זה ממש פשוט, ובעיקר: יעיל!!!!אשמח לפידבקים :-)

a. Display the cars in different colors, so they can track each other while driving to the destination.
b. If one car gets lost or pulls over the other car/s are alerted.
d. The passenger (not driver) will be able to text through Waze to the other car/s to communicate instead of using walkie talkies.
d. Waze can offer, during the trip, gas stations, road side attractions, and restaurants via icons on the road map. -

Allow me to track family and friends (who share permission and/or Waze ID) so I can see how they are doing, especially on long journeys.

No thanks, not if google continues to demand a phone number "for verification" *cough* bs *cough*
Glympse is perfectly suited without harvesting my information
I don't share my mobile number easily. Google can promise whatever. The fruits of their philosophy renders claims comical at best.
My friends DON'T NEED ME TO VERIFY with google. They receive ZERO BENEFIT.

Multi car drive sharing. While on trips with family in multiple cars, I would like to be able to track if one car gets stuck in traffic or lost.

I was following a fellow Waze user. Neither of us knew the address but he knew the destination by habit. I had to ride his rear. I thought we could use an option to link and follow another user. I could follow behind a mile and still make all the right turns via my Waze and his.
Make sense?

I belong to a car club for Honda S2000 we like to drive our cars and will plan a monthly drives. Waze could be modified to allow tracking of a route by the route organizer during the planning of the route. He should be able to modify the route during the planning. the route should be able to be saved and shared with other Waze users in the group. This type of App modification would allow the driver to pay attention to the road and not have to deal with written instructions to stay on route. This would also be a way to get more Waze users and I would think an upgrade I would be willing to pay for.I also think there are a lot of car and motorcycle clubs that would love a feature like this to keep their driving groups together.

I'm a member of a Search and Rescue team. Currently members have Garmin, Tom-Tom's and other GPS' to assemble at predetermined rally points. As one of the communications officers I'd like to set a private group with all our rally points per-entered and recommend members with smart phones use Waze, this will be easier to maintain general group related rally points, and save our member money and time having to enter them on multiple vehicle GPS devices.

Even better, use facebook / google+ for this where I can select with which facebook group or google+ circle to share.
