Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to friends”, “Hidden”, or “Only while navigating”).
Optional group mode for road trips or meet-ups, showing everyone’s live progress on the same route.
Why it’s cool:
Makes driving and meeting up more social and fun.
Perfect for road trips, convoys, or events where everyone’s on the move.
Combines Waze navigation + real-time friend tracking in one app — no need to switch between Waze and Snapchat or Life360.
