Show map during location search
You should be able to enter a store name like "Home Depot" and be able to see locations around you on a map - not specific addresses. Everytime want to find something new around me have to go into another app to actually see its location on the map. Greatly decreases motivation to go back to Waze after that

In Google maps I search for McDonalds (gives me results in my area on the map), scroll the map into desired location anywhere I want (may be another city, may be in arbitrary country side) and "search in this area" button appears.
I click on it and get results around that new area.This is very convenient when planning a trip when I'm not desired yet on what route to take. Say I want to drive Toronto to Niagara Falls, but want to visit a Winery on the way. At this moment I don't know exactly which winery to visit, so I go to Google maps, search "winery", scroll map into various parts of Niagara region and click "search this area" button to find a winery that I will like. Only after I found one, I setup my route.
If I setup toronto-niagara falls route in Waze and search for Winery it will give me only options along that route, and I might miss a great winery somewhere aside. So I use Google maps.

Show establishments chosen by user in map. On navigation, if the user are searching a drugstore, ATM or a gas station, he can select this in Waze, and it is shown near the route.
