This bookmarklet does not seem to work with the current Google Maps. Is there an update or a link to the community plugins and extensions (which I don't see)? Thanks.

The solutions I've seen here work with coordinates. Does anyone have a response to the original post which asked for links using an address?

For both Android and iOS, the URL http://waze.to/{encoded_latlon} is working, but you need to decrypt the {encoded_latlon} format. I.e.:
hu2s555555 -> 48.356860,17.011106
hu2s555556 -> 48.356904,17.011062
hu2s555559 -> 48.356944,17.011020
hu2s000000 -> 47.812524,16.875020
hu2r000000 -> 46.406272,21.093770
Hi guri211,
maybe a stupid question but how you actually decrypt the lat, lon to hu2...... format?

Thanks

I have no algorithm for that, this was just manually rewritten from the client (from history file). Anyway this is not necessary, as the format http://waze.to/?ll=48.149491,17.108636&navigate=yes is also working.
I can obtain a decrypted format from Waze app when I email a location to myself but I need to do more than 1000 sites which would take ages to do it this way.
Yes, you are right http format works but for some reason when I used New Zealand (where I live) GPS coords it didn't work. It is strange because when I used your example it worked fine but the one with NZ coords (http://waze.to/?ll=174.644742,-36.889987&navigate=yes) didn't. It looks like it is working now when I swaped lon and lat (http://waze.to/?ll=-36.889987,174.644742&navigate=yes).
Thanks for your time anyway

Turns out you can do this with Google Maps and some javascript.

1. Go to Google Maps, find the point of interest.
2. Right mouse: What's Here
3. The lat & long will show up in the Search bar.
4. Select that text

5. The following Bookmark can absorb your selected text, and build a URL of the form:
http://waze.to/?navigate=yes&ll=xx.xxx,yy.yyy

javascript:q=""+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.getSelection?document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text);if(!q)q=prompt("Search for?","");if(q!=null)location="http://waze.to/?navigate=yes&ll="+escape(q).replace(/ /g,"+");void 0

6. Email / SMS to your phone.

Worked like a charm!
