Changing this to Not Planned, as it doesn't fit on our roadmap in the near future. We'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I got here also because I had the same idea. I'm a regular Waze user and my son (age 19) just finished a 45 days hitchiking tour. Just the fact that most everyone has a GPS enabled phone in their pocket has made (in my opinion) hitchhiking safer. I want to give back and as a Waze user, I just want a 100 - 200 meter warning that a hitchiker (or 2) is up ahead so I can make a mental calculation (Do I feel like it, is my car clean / full / empty, do I have a little extra time, etc...) and also give me time to stop safely. Knowing the person's destination would be an easy bonus info as I would know in advance if my proposal will be helpful before I stop. This is a "no-brainer" even without the "bells and whistles" of user ratings and facebook connections. Just letting a user enter that he is a hitchiker going to or towards X destination and the driver getting a warning if it's on his route is HUGE! We don't need Airbnb for hitchikers. But if someone else wants to do it, I would switch apps in an instant.
