I am looking to setup a deep link in a mobile application that will navigate to an address and not the lat/lon. I found a link but cannot seem to make it work when testing in a browser. Any help is appreciated
https://waze.com/ul?q=66%20Acacia%20Avenue&ll=45.6906304,-120.810983&navigate=yes
did you check this : https://developers.google.com/waze/deeplinks?hl=en
I am facing similar/same issue and can’t find a way to generate a URL to WAZE with the destination address only (no coordinates) which will make WAZE consider it as a destination address, mark it and center the live map around it
My sources are addresses only (number, street, city, country) and I need the solution for web access.
The examples/options (without the coordinates) detailed in the recommended https://developers.google.com/waze/deeplinks?hl=en does not seem to help either.
Not the most recent thread but I drop my response here for future searches.
You need to use search keyword “q” and be very specific with your search terms. There is no other way if it’s only a street and number. Even in the app users have to use search box to find the address and pick the most probable search result without knowing if it’s the right one. It has always been like this.
If your destination is a place in WME then there is another option. Deep link to place is no longer documented, but it still seem to work. Consider it an undocumented feature which may or may not work in the future releases of the app. To create deep link to a place you need its venue id from WME. The id can be found at the very top of the left side menu when the place is selected. Keyword for use in the url is “preview_venue_id”, so the full deep link becomes:
[pre]https://waze.com/ul?preview_venue_id=xxx.xxx.xxx[/pre]
where xxx is the id from WME.
