Accept all possible formats of GPS coordinates as destination
Let's do Waze more user friendly when entering GPS coordinates.
It would be nice if Waze would accept all possible formats of GPS coordinates (many www maps produce different formats of coordinates - usually with N/S, W/E letters - it is not user friendly always think how to transalte them into the only one current supported format...
I can imagine, that when using N/S, W/E letters even order of the longtitude and latitude can be switched, etc...

Although I love Waze, the poor choice of formats of coordinates available for my destination means I often find competitor apps preferable.

Way easier to use US National Grid, the US land SAR standard since 2011. Example: 17R NM 2876 1059. The Grid Zone and 100 Km ID (17R NM) do not change often, so entry would be the just the easting and northing most of the time. Coordinate should have full edit. bit (dot) ly /USNG-resources

adding cooedinates to waze so things like pizza delivery will be able to find your exact location. like if you're in a park and they cant find you, you just send them the coordinates and the delivers will know your exact location

Yes, like
N43°38'19.39" W116°14'28.86"
43°38'19.39"N 116°14'28.86"W
43 38 19.39 -116 14 28.86
43.63871944444445 -116.2413513485235
...and all variants with/without comma between values. It is so easy to code it! -

Would it be possible to add the scale of the map on the screen ?
I can't understand why it is not a basic feature on a GPS app ...
It should also be possible to display the geographic coordinates if needed ... -

When we press and hold a point in the map it pops up an information about the place, I think it would be nice also to see the GPS coordinates. Thank you
