Waze Now Lets Users Send Directions From Desktop to Mobile App

Google-owned navigation app Waze (https://www.waze.com) now lets users send directions from the Waze website straight to the mobile app, thanks to an update announced this week (https://medium.com/waze/new-feature-alert-you-can-now-save-your-drives-from-the-web-to-your-app-587f2406b652).

The change means Waze users can now plan and view their journey on a bigger screen via the Waze Live Map, which features real-time traffic information, and then send the details from the desktop to the Waze app on their iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/).





To use the new feature, make sure you've updated to the latest version of Waze, then follow the steps below:


<ol><li>On a desktop web browser, visit the Waze Live Map (http://waze.com/livemap).</li>


<li>Click the <strong>Log In</strong> button in the top-right corner.</li>


<li>Scan the QR code that appears with your &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj;'s camera to log in.</li>


<li>Plan your route by setting an origin, a destination point, and when you want to travel.


<li>Click <strong>Save to App</strong>.</li>


<li>Open the Waze app on your &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; and you should see the pre-planned route ready to follow. If you planned to arrive at a particular time, the app will send you a reminder of when you need to leave, taking into account real-time traffic conditions.</li></ol> Waze can be downloaded from the App Store (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-store/) for free.
