All I get is Home, Work, Favorites, Calendar Events, Facebook Events??
I am assuming that the Menu is gotten to by tapping the little car icon? The only other thing that works is the settings button.

The help says: Tap Menu, then (tap) Navigate.
Problem: I have no Navigate button so that I can enter a destination.
So I am to type my destination in the bar? There’s no Navigate button that I am to select? Why doesn’t the help specify that? The way it is worded is extremely misleading. They should change that.
“Tap Menu and then enter your destination in the Search bar” would leave no chance of misinterpretation.
But, be that as it may, it turns out that this appears to be (I am assuming) for IPhones with GPS. I downloaded it on my IPad and while it maps a route out, it basically says that it can’t do much without a GPS feature. I don’t have an IPhone.
TV stations use a different version. The Android/iPhone apps work differently.
If you just want to see a map with current traffic conditions, you can use the livemap. https://www.waze.com/livemap
But don’t look for a navigate button there, you can use it by searching for a location or clicking on the map with your computer mouse to set a start and finish point so that it can show you routing suggestions.
