Easy Address Saving to Favorites
I've been having a Lot of trouble saving addresses to my favorites. In fact I'm unable to save addresses at all now. I'm unsure if I have run out of space for adding addresses to my favorites, but in my line of work I travel All over the state of Illinois, and return to those locations commonly. I have over 300 locations that need saved, but am unable to anymore for over 3 years now.
I would Love it if Waze created an easy way to save the address to my favorites once it has been selected to…3 votes -
Reveal the limit on the maximum number of favorites
Apparently there is a limit of 99 favorites that will be displayed, however, it doesn't say anywhere that there is a limit. When you reach the limit, it just stops saving new favorites, without letting you know that they have NOT been saved. It should tell you that you can't save any more until you delete some.

Place NEW favorites at the top of the list.
I always add new favorites to the list while NOT connected to the car. Then, when I connect, via Android Auto, I attempt to select my NEW favorite. However, it is located at the very bottom of a very long list. Sure would like to see NEW Favorites at the top of the Favorites list

Automatic Favorites
If I deviate from my route and stop for any length of time, Waze should prompt me to add as a favorite place when I resume. For example if I stop at grocery store, car wash, gym or any other place on way home I'd like to have I my favorite places to add as stop on future trips. Likewise if I'm on a trip and stop at great place to eat, I might want to stop next time.

Adding favorites under the home and work
I think you should be able to see your address's you add in your favorites under the home and work so you can just click it instead of having to go into favorites then clicking on the address you want. Its 2 less steps and would save time.

Always existing favorites and labeling
Whenever I search for a new place, the existing favorites (including home/work) disappears. A lot of my travels includes judging distances and route options vs traffic. It would be nice to see my favorite spots included (or options to) in a new search results.

Search bar Rework + Favorites Customization
The search feature feels a little bit messy. Instead of having your recent searches listed under your favorites, let’s add a button for recent searches, just like the buttons for gas, food, etc. Next, Instead of having only your work and home favorites listed, let’s list all of your favorite places under the search bar. You can also add the ability to customize your other favorites with icons similar to work and home. A school icon would be very popular, and adding a boy or a girl icon for a friend’s house could be useful. You could also add…

Add to Favorites More Simple
On iPhone when swiping left on a location in history it gives you “Options”. It’d be great to add a simple add to favorites from that menu vs having to do multiple steps just to add the location to favorites.

Put favorites back in recent lineup.
I am a shuttle driver and put my route address in before starting so I can quickly access them after each pick-up. You took the ability to store favorites in the recent lineup so now i will have to delete all my favorites so i can use them in my recent lineup.
Please allow favorites to be stored in the recent lineup again?1 voteGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

When you search, can it list from Favorites first
Currently, when you search, it does not always list all the matching items from favorites, and lists a bunch of results that are not related!

Be able to "drop a pin" at current location and add to favorites
It'd be good to be able to drop a pin at current location and give it a name and add it to favorites. The current method of having to do addresses or POI searches is not always workable--especially on small form-factor devices.

enable upload and sharable "favorites" or "waypoints"
I'm a Member of a Volunteer Search and Rescue team. In the past we were able to share pre-staged "rally Points" by loading a Garmin GPX file in various GPS devices. I would like to import these "favorites" into my Waze profile and share it with others on our team.
This could also benefit others who want to migrate from a Garmin or Tom Tom Device and not share their points, as well as other organizations who have pre-planned assembly areas.

Reports' Favorites
I want to tap one less time. Most of my reports are the same - traffic, cars on shoulders, and police. Instead of tapping one time to hit the reports, the second time to pick a category, and a third time to report on what I want, I want one time to hit the reports and second time to touch the favorite report.
I just noticed the phone's app allows for long press to do these three things, but I use CarPlay, and still, I don't want to long press, I just want taps.1 vote -

You can now search by coordinates! You can use UTM to enter any pair of coordinates. Make sure to use a comma in between. For example, you can search for:
52.02644,5.58166(This location in the Netherlands… but any other coordinates will work)
Available on version 2.1 and onwards.

Url scheme to navigate favorites
The URL scheme here https://www.waze.com/about/dev
It has an option to search or navigate to specific geo coordinates. I would like an option to navigate to a favorite. Something like:
waze://?fav=Home&navigate=yes
I would use this with activator, or some other app that can launch Waze.

Add favorites to a route
When I go on long trips, I enjoy stopping at rest areas, but I have no clue where they are or when they'll appear. I've ended up at a sketchy gas station, only to discover a rest area just 2 miles ahead. I also like pulling over at specific restaurant chains, but again, I don't know their locations. It would be awesome to add favorites to a route so the app tracks the distance to the nearest Chick-fil-A or Buc-ee's, then resets after you pass it to show the next one. This feature would be a game-changer.
