While Waze is owned by Google, for some reason it’s always felt like it was a little behind Google Maps in terms of some features. One of those features is the ability to send your navigation details from your computer to your phone, something that Google Maps actually allows.
However, not too long ago, Waze actually enabled the feature. This is very convenient because if you’re using your computer to browse locations and plan a trip, you don’t want to have to repeat that process on your phone all over again. By sending those details from your computer to your phone, it will save you some time.
