I turned a couple of friends that live in other States on to Waze. We get together a couple of times a year in a central location like Atlanta or Louisville. Is there a way to search for that User to pinpoint location (and progress toward our meeting point?)

Thanks in advance!!

You could make a group with just you guys and set your settings to show just that group with the puzzle piece icon.

But note, that it's not a guarantee that your whole group will show on the map. Waze has stated that the wazers shown on the map are filtered... not all are shown, so if you are in an area with high usage, you might not get all of them shown, before applying the group filter.

Right, it's not an exact science
