Organizing my favorites

Post by fbarajas
Hi!

Since I work for myself, visiting several customers all around Mexico City's metropolitan area, the "work/home" paradigm doesn't fill my needs.

I have many "favorites" on Waze, and I want to know if there is any way I can classify them. For example, one folder for "Clientes", another for "Family", another for "Friends", another for "Suppliers", etc.

Is there ay way I can classify them instead of having a long "favorites" list?

Thanks!

There is currently no way of organizing the list into folders. You can reorder the favorites, so you can either alphabetize them or even put them into groups as you logically would put them. Still a big long list, but you can reorder them to have the top as clients, then the next several are friends and family, and so on.

I'm not aware of any limit, though there is likely one. You should fill out the form on the Support page.

Wow, well, yes, that would be nice. Why don't you start adding them and see what happens? It sure would be nice to be able to have favorites organized in folders!

If you store the favorites in the iPhone Notes app with the properly formatted URL, it should launch Waze, just like getting the link to a destination or favorite via email or txt.

How many contacts does your phone hold? If you have an address attached to your contacts, you can get directions from them. It is on the end of the search screen, just scroll to the right.

Organizing my favorites

Post by Bigbear3764
On my iPhone, I have a notes app, when I put in an address on it, I tap it and it goes to my google map app. I wonder if I didn't have my google map app, would it find Waze and dump the address into it?

Or is there a way to tell other apps to search waze for an address instead of the installed google map( or soon to be iMaps)

Is that an iPhone only feature?
Wait, if I actually read the thread, I see it was iPhone only back in 2012. Makes me feel better about not being able to find it.

OK, thanks to you all.

Hope this comes to Android some day, 'cause I'm definitelly NOT moving to iPhone.

How many do you have now? Are you having a problem? Why would you need to store 1000 favorites?
