Great, but missing key features
Waze offers 90% of what I want in a navigating system however it misses the mark on standard features that I had with my very old tomtom. Find "along route," or "near destination" should be options after setting destination. The present search shows store 2 miles away... but who knows in what direction. That 2 miles should never be in "as the bird flies" but in miles as driven. Increased advertisements are dangerous distractions while navigating unknown territory.
Suggestion to waze designers. Offer ea user up to 10 favorites. For instance Id choose Starbucks & target. Then... waze should get Starbucks and target to pay waze for advertising... only to customers who want their product. Waze should highlight those personalized favorites wherever they show up in my travels with a tiny icon. That way waze gets very deserving money for its innovative app... and the general advertisements can go away. Just a thought that would make everyone happy.
