Does anyone know if there is a way to open the map location on Waze instead of Google/Apple maps?

A bit inconvenient, but you can first open the Google Maps link, and copy the decimal coordinates (long click on them and copy to clipboard).

Then open Waze and paste the decimal coordinates into the search field. But make sure to remove the brackets ()

Thanks @Frederic that is perfect!

Hi Vanessa,

My vehicle is a Green 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 P400

I did the Desert Driving Class with Gaurav a few weeks back, that about sums up my experience aside from tomorrow’s BBQ I’m doing with some friends in Al Qudra. 

Confirm I have easy accessible front and rear eyelets. 

I do have a radio and safety flag. 
Noted on the safety briefing. 

looking forward to Sunday morning!

[Vanessa8580]
