Long distance routing
I use Waze frequently around town and short trips, its GREAT! I also travel longer distances and Waze will not allow me to setup a route for those trips. Google Maps does, so it is certainly possible. Id love to be able to use Waze for this. Currently I run both simultaneously but switching back and forth while driving is dangerous.
Great news! Long distance routing is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

I have been getting this error message every day for the past 4 weeks, each time I try navigating to a favorite place. I am very disappointed.

We struggled at peek times of day when trying to navigate through the US from Hamilton ON CAN to Kissimmee FL. USA. We had to revert back to using Google maps.

Traveling from WV to Florida today. Trying to use waze but it can't find a route. Really disappointed.

Ditto. Want to use Waze to plan a route from the South of Spain to the Midlands in the U.K. but it won’t calculate due to being over 1000 miles. All other apps I have do it and I want to use Waze with Android Auto. Google Maps can be used offline but they restrict offline area. Can’t afford to pay mobile data charges!

Can't believe this is still an issue. I was thinking I would replace my Garmin with Waze because I can get the audio more clearly through my car speakers using Apple Car Play. However, if you can't navigate long trips, this is pretty pointless. You want a navigation app that will choose the quickest route and if you have to break the trip into segments, you eliminate this possibility as you have to choose the route for the app. For example, there are many routes from Phoenix to Oregon..one goes through Las Vegas, another goes near LA, another not quite as close to LA. If you have to choose one of those routes for the app, you ignore possible time savings using one of the other two routes due to construction, traffic, etc. You do not advertise the app as useful only for local navigation...you advertise it as being useful for navigation (no modifier).

I would like the app to be able to start a trip of over 1000 miles. I went from Stuart, Fl to Garrison, NY and it was approximately 1250 mi. I ended up starting a trip from Stuart to Savannah, Ga, then a new trip from that area to my home. The app worked well, loved the heads up about police ahead. No tickets either way, a first! Also came up with a new shortcut at the end of my trip. I went with it and it worked out well. I love this app and use it often in my career as a Real Estate Broker.

I checked my settings and noticed my "avoid tolls" option was toggled on and it wasn't possible to avoid tolls. Problem was fixed once I turned that option off

Does not mater.Fiks better the ap commented
What have you done?
No more country borders, voice disaperes midle of drive, screan and app crash constantly, can not drive 400 to 700 km anymore, alternative roads are a joke....
Do not duck up waze comunity, we give you the trafic and info. Google, glean up the ads and stop messing with comunity.
We give you the information, you give us a working app. -

App should only calculate hazard/police details for 1 hour(maybe 2 hours) down the road and give a basic routing the remainder of the way. It would update every 15-30 minutes with any hazard/police updates for the next segment.
I find the routing server just gets bogged down or fails to calculate when the trip is too long.
I end up doing several shorter routes like Paul G. says -

Make Waze users who travel a lot happy by breaking the 1,000 mile search limit.

This has been a problem for a long time.... the only work around is to do several shorter routes, and that's kind of a pain.... or run both MAPS and WAZE like you said. I hope they fix it.
Scenic routes that take you through small town USA would be great

It is not possible to calculate a route 1000 km long. I'm always getting an erorr when trying to get a route from Iasi (Romania) to Salonic (Greece). App unusable... :(

Can you possible create a waze server container so during peak usage you could spin up more capability using Google AWS.
I understand you want us to plan the route in segments but that is almost impossible when your in the car driving.

Forgot to mention, I even have a Waze ad at my destination and still won't locate it when I start out.

LindaN commented
Longer distances would be nice. I drive a trip that is just over 1000 miles a couple times a year. Can never locate the destination until I've been on the road for a while.

Be sure your settings are set to Settings->Navigation->Routing Styles->Fastest.
That will most likely solve the problem.
