Drive to a phone contact

Step 2: Navigate to a contact

To navigate to a contact, you must have their address saved on your phone.

6. Tap Go now to start your navigation, or tap Leave later to plan a drive

Got questions?

Why do my contacts show up multiple times?

If you see the same contact appear more than once, you may have more than one phone number saved for them. 

How do I disable access to my contacts?

1. In your phone settings, tap Apps
2. Tap Waze
3. Tap Permissions
4. Under "Allowed", tap Contacts
5. Tap "Don't Allow"

Note: Steps may vary by device.
