Life360 is great for this. Create a circle of friends or family and you can all find each other in real time.

This is great, i really need this.

It would be super cool, when a group of friends are going to a trip, to share the destination and to be able to track on the same map where each one of them and gets an estimation for how long is it going for him to arrive

Exciting idea.

Pouvoir passer en mode convoi pour partager un même itinéraire entre plusieurs véhicules, se proposer des pauses à un endroit donné, proposer des changements d’itinéraires, et retrouver les autres véhicules du convoi sur la carte quand quelqu’un se perds

You should be able to link your Waze with someone else’s, this way if you’re driving somewhere in different cars you can see how behind/ahead of you they are.

Waze be able to share your path to another user just for safety. If this path changes it sends a warning to other user as potential Kidnapping.

Em situações em que grupos de amigos vão viajar porém em carro separados, poderia haver uma opção de cada carro (1 usuário do waze em cada carro) pudesse se conectar com os outros e mostrar o mesmo grupo em todos os celulares conectados entre si! Assim poderíamos ver onde o outro carro está, se está na frente, atrás, se devemos ir mais devagar para esperar o colega. Evita que seja necessário fazer ligações ou mandar mensagem

Option similar to the app JoinR that people can be invited to a group and you are able to view location of everyone in group with ability to turn on and off. This is verify useful when traveling in groups such as car rallies to keep groups together. With option to add start and stop destinations with user option to request stops in between. Look at JoinR app for examples. Thanks

When going on a trip with a group of people and two or more cars are needed, usually there is one car that stays in the front, which the other cars follow. This car could set its destination on Waze as normal, but the others that follow it would have a "Follow me" function that allows them to set on the map the 1st car as the "Destination". This "destination" will always show the current location of the "front car". This way, even in crossroads, intersections and such, the other cars will know if the 1st car has turned left or right etc. without having to follow it visually on the road up to that specific point.

ניווט של כמה כלי רכב בבת אחת כגון טיול קבוצתי המחולק בין כמה רכבים יש את מי שמוביל שהוא משתף את עצמו לחברים והוויז של המשתתפים יסע רגיל כמו וויז לפרטי ואם הוא ישנה מסלול כם אצלם ישתנה כלומר בדיוק מה שמופיע אצלו יופיע אצל כולם

An option that can share a calculated route to a list of identified friends also using Waze, including detours taken, stops etc. This would be useful for groups of riders where one has the 'master' route and can send it to others on the same ride, so if they get lost/stopped behind they can follow the route to the next meeting point, even if the leader had to take a detour (planned route/stopping points not available). If it could update each of the riders in the group with their location to the others that woudl be swell

I think a good idea would be an option to send somebody your route so that they are able to join it. I say this because my friend and I were driving down to a birthday, and I was following her, however we kept on losing each other and had to keep calling to see where we both were. It would be easier if you could send your location to someone and a route shows you to them, or you can add somebody to a journey you are taking so that you will both be on the same route and not lose each other. I think this is a great idea ! You can only send your route to the designated person, and a route will show up leading you onto the same route as that person until you both reach the destination.

Awesome!

I just recently had an idea very similar to this. I was thinking something along the lines of a shared navigation between users in all the cars in the group where everyone's locations were shown on the map and if a car deviated from the route on Waze, there could be a pop up menu with options such as "I need gas" or "Need a break" or "Need food" etc where that quick message would act as a notification to the others on the trip. More of a "social" aspect to group traveling.

Wazer Caravan Groups
This may already exist in the sharing my route feature but I do not know how to use it if it does. My idea is to expand the feature of sharing a route and seeing other wazers to allow for a user to invite one or more other waze users to form a group for a trip/route. This would be useful for caravans of car clubs or just family and friends who want to see each other's location on the map as they travel together and have the ability to catch up with a group if you get separated. I envision that the group members for the trip would travel the same route and be shown with a special icon on the map to ease location visibility. Also, group text messages could be added to communicate with the group.

Let's say if some people are organising a trip which will involve a few cars. If waze is used in each car then it will be useful to have some sort of friends list which can create a group and show on waze where are each car of the group that was made. This can be useful to see where is every car from your group.
One example of creating a group is to invite your friends from contacts, the leader will set the destination and the route will synchronize among all contacts. Then each user is shown in application by marking them with a star or something in order to distinguish them from the other wazers.

Mon idée permettrai à plusieurs personne de suivre un véhicule de tête équipé aussi de waze.
Pratique lors d'un cortège. Ou comme dans mon cas pour cet été ou l'on part à 2 véhicules sur 800km on va bien arrivé a se perdre de vue entre les feu rouge, les rond point etc. Le suiveur ne suivrais plus un itinéraire fixe mais le véhicule de tête.

La fonction partage d'itinéraires et déjà bien mais activé une fonction de suivi serait bien.

"I should be able to optionally integrate with Contacts, Facebook, G+, etc. but also just add a name and mobile number, store in local Waze address book, to be able to send a TXT message."

I agree completely with this.. Why only be able to be connected with other wazers through facebook?

If someone "shares" a route, I should be able to follow it. And I'm 54 so, wooooooooooo
