Import Waze Saved Places to Apple Maps
Short answer
Waze has no documented export of saved places or favorites. So list them in a spreadsheet with Name and Address columns (start from our template), save it as CSV and drop it below — you get one Apple Maps Guide. Only a handful? Search each one in Apple Maps and add it to a Guide by hand.
3 steps to Apple Maps
-
List your places
Open your saved places in Waze and copy each one into a spreadsheet: the name under Name, the street and city under Address.
-
Save it as CSV, drop it below
Numbers, Excel and Google Sheets can all save a sheet as CSV. Then drop the file below.
-
Open your Apple Maps Guide
You get one Guide link with every matched place. Places we can't match are listed so you can add them by hand. See the measured match rate.
Import into Apple Maps
Your CSV becomes one Apple Maps Guide. KML, GPX and GeoJSON files work too. Free for up to 1,500 places.
No file yet? Download the CSV template with Name and Address columns.

FAQ
Does Waze let me export my favorites?
Not as far as we can find. Waze's “Download your data” gives you account and activity CSV files, and there is no documented export of saved places or favorites. Copy them into the CSV template instead.
Will my Waze ETAs or routes transfer?
No. Only the places you list move. Routes and drive history stay in Waze, and Apple Maps plans its own routes.
Can I keep using Waze too?
Yes. Nothing in your Waze account changes — you get an Apple Maps copy of the places you list, so you can use both.
Is my Waze data safe?
We only get the CSV you upload, never access to your Waze account. It is stored so your Guide link keeps working, until you ask us to delete it at dautovri@outlook.com, and it is never shared or sold. More in our privacy policy.
