Tell us WHY Waze can't find a route

Today I was in Virginia and starting a drive to Northampton, MA. Waze told me that it couldn't find a route. In fact, it couldn't find a route to Boston, or New Haven, or anywhere else north of NY, NY. (It can find a route to NY, NY). I'd like to know why. I tried multiple phones.

When things like this happens, Waze should say WHY it can't find a route.

    I find it totally ridiculous waze cannot give me a long distance route from New York to Georgia. Why have it then?

    cannot find a route from doylestown pa to northport LI (NY). I have driven the trip many ways on my own but waze cannot. This is Hokey.

    I put in an address for a destination about 350 miles from my starting point. WAZE found the exact location but couldn't gave me the Uh Oh Can't Find A Route message. This destination is not off of some dirt road or rural farm. It's right off I-95. It can find other routes to destinations as far as 150 miles. I put in additional locations which are farther away and got the same error message even though they are in different directions from the original location. Why???

    All of my setting are correct - fastest, no dirt roads, don't avoid highways. And yet Waze cannot route me from Connecticut to New Hampshire, approximately 250 miles. It has failed to do so on the last five trips I've made. This app is nearly useless if it can only get me around town.

    I uninstalled the app but that's no help. Anyone hear anything from Waze?

    Same experience. This is my first time using waze- going back to google maps.

    Trying to get to Dorset, Vermont today and Waze cannot find a route to NY or Vermont. Any ideas?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Be sure your settings are set to Settings->Navigation->Routing Styles->Fastest.

    That will most likely solve the problem.
