Use Google maps as a fallback if an address is not found on Waze

Many times I am unable to find a destination using the search function in Waze. Google Maps never has a problem finding the same locations.

So my suggestion is: why not query Google maps for the GPS co-ordinate and then route the user to those co-ordinates?

I realize this might not work 100% of the time, but it will work at least 90% of the time, which is better than the current state of affairs - where addresses with street numbers in them only work about 5% of the time.

    There is a license conflict to do it in all the world.
    Google does not like to support competitors too.
