Waze keeps a running list of your recent trips, whether you were heading to your job or your favorite restaurant. But saving an address in Waze to your "Favorites" is a faster and easier way to set your route and get on the road. Luckily, it's easy to save an address to your Favorites list on the Waze app.

The Waze app denotes "Favorites" through a gold star icon, which means wherever you see it in the app, you can save an address.

However you save an address, you will always be prompted to give the location a name before confirming the save.
