Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.

There should be a toggle button to activate follow my drive. In other words, you shouldn't have to send your URL via text message or whatever in order to activate drive sharing. Yes, it's logical: there's no point in sharing a drive if you don't tell someone about it. But then again, there's a lot of times when something's gone screwy on my phone, while I'm sending someone the URL, and waze simply shuts off broadcasting. So the other person clicks the URL, and gets a "request cancelled" message. I should simply check a box or something, and have waze start sharing, and then be able to tell someone about it. But waze should not wait for me to complete a message send in order to start and keep sharing, hence, the toggle button or checkbox. And when I shut down waze, it should uncheck the box so I don't accidentally start sharing my drive to Motel 6 next time I start the app :)
Any combination of the back button should not shut off drive sharing. I've accidentally hit back on my phone at times while in the share drive menu, and it cancels my drive sharing... after I've sent everyone the URL. And you have to start the sharing process all over again. This is where a "start sharing my drive" checkbox would be nice. I simply check it, and waze shares regardless of what I do or don't do.

Neccessary! If you lose your cell signal for more than a while, or if you make a pit stop for lunch and close waze, 10 minutes later the wife is calling to know why she got a request cancelled map, and she can't simply reload in a while to see if you're back. Keeping the URL would let you use short URL websites, or even assign a permanent domain to your drive (for example if you're driving around the world to raise funds for something)
Changing URLs is wonderful for privacy. But, that could be handled by having a "change my URL" button in the app that you could press and get a new URL. Ideally, if you don't want a new URL, your existing URL should last forever. And you could have a popup message every few weeks or so saying "for your privacy, why not change your URL" or something. Oh, and add an option to turn off that annoying popup too ;)
