Add friends without facebook
Why am I forced to use facebook in order to add friends to Waze?? I don't use facebook, 75% of the world's population does not use facebook at all (and more with every day). Is keeping fb afloat Waze's most important purpose?
Anyway, I don't want facebook friends on Waze, I want Waze friends on Waze and facebook friends on facebook, don't try to mix a driving app with a social network.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

XMPP allows for short audio blurbs
XMPP TEXTING is the only intelligent choice on a smart phone. Unless you like to burn money do let old timey sms texting die already

I should be able to use my XMPP roster.
XMPP: $0 texting

You should be able to add friends from your contacts not just Facebook. I don't have Facebook and therefore can not add any of my friends

Hello, Its a good Idea because I can't add my coworkers to facebook, but I want them to share info with me when going to work.
That will made Waze better user friendly. Facebook is not compulsory.
Thanks to hear about that complain.

Also consider following request to add Linked-In integration besides Facebook:

Waze should allow users to add friends through their emails or phone number as oppose to just Facebook. I've a lot of friends who have Waze but not Facebook and we can't add each other which is a shame.

Excellent idea. Especially when trying to share locations or directions with someone who doesn't have a social media account (and it's their right to not have one)

Please give us the ability to add friends from our phone's contact list that don't have Facebook... this would be a terrific feature!

Agree - I also think about proposing to use Waze for school bus so that all the parents/students know whether the bus will delay or not. With this they have no need to stand in the snow/rain waiting for the bus for too long. The ability to add member/group w/o FB will help support this usage.

Being able to find friends besides having a Facebook account. I am an adult I don't need one of those.

Agree.
Moreover, it should be great if the friends appear on the map in real time. It is useful / nice when several friends go to the same destination to see them.
