Guide me to my parked car
Dropping a parked car dot is great, but it's not always intuitive which way I need to walk to find my car after a long day. Waze could use my device's compass and gps location to literally point me back to my car, or any other point on the map. This is not a "walking" mode of navigation, but rather a way to view the bearing to a particular point. One way to accomplish this is to simply provide an option to set map rotation to follow the compass rather than north-up or heading-up. Heading-up only helps find my car if I start walking in some direction, possibly the wrong direction, far enough to register a heading.
Great news! The feature about tracking where you parked your car is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

The problem with the current technique for remembering where I parked is that I have to remember to close Waze when I park. If I could remember to do that then I wouldn't need the parking feature.
Here's a way to automatically remember where I park without me having to do anything. This only works for cars that can be paired with my phone.
It's very simple: when my phone *unpairs* from my car (which happens automatically when I turn off my car), that's where I parked. Keep a list of unpairing locations and that will show me where to find my car. Easy peasy.

Mark My Car and Mark My People option.
When I'm at an event and have to park a mile away I can Mark My Car/People to find it/them later at the event. This would allow for multiple Marks as well. So, if I'm supposed to meet one person(s) at one place and another person(s) at another place I can mark both to find later.
Also, should have Meet My People Time Clock so that we can set a time to meet back together when an alarm sounds. It will sound according to the amount of walk/bike/drive time it would take to get back to the Mark My Car/People spot to go or move to another event.
And, a person could help others in your group by using Mark My Car/Poepl to mark their car sending the location to them if they can't or don't want to have WAZE on their phone.
Thank you for your time and consideration. :)

Mark your parking spot only seems to come up when you have arrived at your exact destination. Sometimes my parking spot is outside of this location and I am unable to mark my actual parking spot. Can this be made more readily available?

After reaching destination and parking, include a feature to remember where the car is parked.

Develop an application which would be able to spot one's car in a large (or not so large) parking lot (like in malls, etc)

Darryl: There is such a button, but it appears only when you reach your destination...

This would be great. I use Waze to and from work a lot but when I arrive I street park in a different place every day. After a long day, it's often hard to remember where my car was parked - probably a combination of age, and work overload. Having a "I parked here" button would be excellent.

Save the position of the car (wherever we are) and help to found the car (for example, in a large parking)
