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

Hi guys,
I was thinking about a functionality that helps to follow a friend in another car.
Basically: you send a notify to follow up to your friend and if he accept, waze shows in your device the way to follow him. And in his device is showing where you are.

This is very cool when you need following somebody to a place thet you don't know, but you heve to go whit two cars. Many problems can happen in this seemingly simple task, like closed semaphore, lose yourself between other cars in traffic, among others.

Português: Oi pessoal,
Eu estava pensando em uma funcionalidade que ajuda a seguir um amigo em outro carro.
Basicamente: você envia uma notificação para o acompanhamento do seu amigo e se ele aceitar, o waze mostra no seu dispositivo o caminho para segui-lo. E no seu dispositivo está mostrando onde você está.

Isso é muito legal quando você precisa seguir alguém para um lugar que você não conhece, mas você tem que ir em dois carros. Muitos problemas podem acontecer nesta tarefa aparentemente simples, como semáforo fechado, perder-se entre outros carros no trânsito, entre outros.

Seria buena su implementación pero va en cada conductor en el modo que la use
Waze es mi mejor compañero de ruta

NO. Aunque la idea es buena, se pierde el objetivo principal de ser nuestro guía de ruta... se corre el riesgo de convertirlo en un factor de distracción para el conductor.
Si sólo así es tan útil como criticado, con una opción de estas se da pie para que sus detractores lo catsloguem más como un riesgo...

Siii, excelente idea

Siii

Si

Seria una genial idea

Para mantenerse comunicado con tus amigos, es una genial idea.

Siiii genial

Sería de mucha ayuda.. voto siii

Si estoy de acuerdo con implementacion de PTT en WAZE pero con creacion de canales privados supongo asi seria genial

Sería fabuloso
