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.

So if you are traveling to the same place as your friends but in different cars if they also have Waze you should be able to see where they are.this would be a good idea if you are going to a restaurant with your friend and you get their before them if a waiter comes up you can tell them exactly how much longer they will be.this would be perfect for when my family goes on vacation it could be called waze friends.also this would only work if both users confirm that they want the other person to see them.

המון פעמים הבחנתי בקבוצת רכבים ממתינה בצד הכביש לרכב שנשאר מאחור או בצומת קודמת, ככה ניתן להמשיך בנסיעה תוך האטת מהירות וניתן גם לבצע שינוי במסלול הנסיעה ושאר משתמשי הקבוצה לא יאבדו אחד את השני

אפשרות לניהול נסיעה בקבוצה,הזמנת חברים באמצעות שליחת קישור, בזמן נסיעה של שיירת כלי רכב שאר משתמשי ווייז נעלמים מהמפה ונשארים רק חברי הקבוצה לנסיעה, התראות ודיווחים כן יוצגו במפה. רעיון שמתאים לטיול משפחות, טיול נסיעה ארוכה וגם מתאים לקבוצות אופנועים. במקרה שחבר לקבוצה נשאר מאחור .או הקדים את כולם ניתן לראות כל חבר היכן נמצא

Please bring back the ability to see the time someone is arriving when you click on their notification in WAZE when they send you their ETA. Also, the ability to see where they are at on their drive; and if you are both driving to the same place, see where you are in relationship to them. My friends and family LOVED this feature. Now all you can see is where they are headed. ETA has basically lost it's use.

Had to find my brother's truck today, but he didn't know his address. If we both had this app, couldn't his send mine his location so mine could navigate to him?

Definitely want to see better tracking features.
My wife and I have been using Glympse for years as it is so simple and accurate to share and track your current location, you can even setup 1 click sharing for 'regular shares' (my wife uses this when she is leaving work so I can start dinner when she is a certain distance from home).
Waze sharing/ETA is terrible, takes too many clicks, and seems to rely on Facebook linking which I do not want to do.
I should be able to optionally integrate with Contacts, Facebook, G+, etc. but also just add a name and mobile number, store in local Waze address book, to be able to send a TXT message.

So at times I take trips with my family which involve more than 1 car. So i'd like to see an update that would allow you to request in waz to link 1 or 2 cars / users to follow a location and then highlight where they are on the map in order to assist in not losing the car you are supposed to follow

When you send someone your ETA, they get a link where they can supposedly see your progress in real time. However, the avatar in this map moves whether you are or not. So it is not real time, and thus, gives the person who received the link potentially inaccurate information. Please give us the option to make the tracking appear in actual real time.

There is a quality feature that allows you to see where a person is on the map when they share their ETA with you. This lets you follow their direct progress initially but after a while when you go back to check where they are it is no longer available in the same format. This should be made permanent.

When you plan a road trip and you are traveling in a group of cars, it would be great to "Share the trip" with the people you're traveling with so that they could check on you, in case you got lost, or maybe suffered an accident you could always know where the whole party is in the road. Maybe if someone stoped to grab a bite and the others are meeting him, you could know exactly where on the road they stoped so you could meet them.

When convoy with friend sometime you lost them when you are in heavy traffic or red traffic light. Your friend will be visible on your waze and then tap on your friend icon to follow them. Of course they need to accept first. For safety issues.

Someone is in route and you need to follow him. He just push the button "follow me" and send the invitation to you or another user! Done! Now you (or another) can follow him...

English: Hello, I wanted to suggest something like shared trips (for caravans, mass events and many car trips, etc.). The idea is for the organizer to generate a QR code and send it (via instant messaging or print) so all people will see the same route from wherever they are. This way, all the people who are going to an event, place or whatever it will take a more efficient and smooth trip. They will save themselves to say: "Waze took me to take an unnecessary turn" and another respond "No, it took me by a very short way, I delayed very little". All people would go on the same route.
[English is traduced by Google Traductor, Tha idea is written originally in spanish].
Español: Hola, quería sugerir algo tipo viajes compartidos (para caravanas , eventos masivos y viajes de muchos autos, etc.). La idea es que el organizador genere un código QR y lo envíe (por medio de mensajería instantánea o impreso), así toda la gente verá la misma ruta desde donde esté. De esta manera para toda la gente que va hacia un evento, lugar o lo que sea tendrá un viaje más eficiente y sin problemas. Se ahorrarán decir: "Waze me llevó a dar una vuelta innecesaria" y que otro responda "No, a mí me llevó por un camino muy corto, me demoré poquísimo". Toda la gente iría en la misma ruta.

Is this still being panned?

When I'm leading someone it would be very useful to see whether they are three cars behind me or have taken a wrong turning.

Track a Friend
Add a fearure that allows a friend to send a destination and I can follow them to ensure theur safety. The only way I have fogured out how to see a friend who is traveling out of state, to me, is to follow the drive. I would like to just pull up the map and see my friend, what trafgic looks like, etc.
Thanks for your consideration.
