Time zone adjustment
Waze should adjust ETA to the local time when destination is a different time zone. When you leave Phoenix for southwest CO, for example, the ETA should be in mountain time, not AZ time. Currently, the ETA only adjusts when your phone automatically adjusts as you cross the time zone. It would be nice to know drive time is 6 hours, but ETA is 7 hours due to time change.
Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.
Thanks!

I guess google wants people to stop using Waze. LoL

This is definitely a must have for me to use Waze. I frequently travel between time zones and it only makes sense to give ETA in the destinations time zone

Zero excuse for not doing this. Just being arrogant people. Shame Google buying them has not improved customer relations.

LOL! I was searching to see if this had been fixed (it’s been a problem for YEARS and the other map apps have it) and is the main reason I refuse to use Waze. And here I find they’re like NOPE not going to do it. I reminds me after Google bought them, I suggested merging features from Google Maps and got a hateful email back saying they weren’t bought and they would continue doing their own thing. Seems that toxic culture still exists. Oh well.

Is this planned for 2024? I was late for an appointment at the VA in MI because of the time change between Central and Eastern time. Not cool 🤬

Please do this in 2024. I’m no coder but this seems like a very easy fix. Waze is owned by Google so if Google Maps can do it well I do t see why Waze can’t.
I feel like Google is doing a “catch and kill” of their former competitor.

When planning long trips across time zones, I use Google Maps, because they show the correct time at my destination. It's easier for them to add such a small code.

This is fundamental. Who ever thought putting it in the wrong time at destination was the default way to go?!?! Make it configurable.

How about adding this to 2024?

Decided in February that this couldn’t fit into “plans” for 2023? This isn’t a 10+ month project, you could roll this out in the next update in 2 weeks. Your developers are capable. Spend less time turning cars into Fraggles & more time making sure that the ETAs you provide for cross-time zone trips are accurate. This isn’t a sparkly new feature we’re asking for, it’s a bug that needs to be fixed yesterday.

For me, the ability to see my eta in local time is very important. Otherwise, the app is fantastic.

At least add a line that says arrival time at destination is +\- hours.

Really surprised this is something that has not been implemented. Seems to be an easy fix to something that a lot of users are requesting
It would definitely resolve a lot of confusion when traveling between multiple time zones. -

😭😭😭 Don’t be late (thinks I’m showing up half hour early) - half hour late. Fml.

This is a critical improvement. I am amazed that it has not been addressed to date.

Bob McCormick commented
Amazed that this is still an outstanding issue - seems so basic and I concur with just about every other comment I've read here. Since 1883 North American railroads got together and were able to provide accurate arrival at destination times in their timetables. 140 years later and we're still waiting for Waze to be able to offer drivers this basic functionality.

We travel a lot across time zones and it would be a great boon to have this. I love Waze but we've learned that it's just not worth it to use when we are planning a trip cross different time zones. :(

You should show the destination time in the destination time zone. We will have to switch to Apple Maps since this has happened to us before. I am not sure if Google is not allowing Waze to update, but it is ridiculous you cannot change this for 2023!

Murphy commented
Please consider adding. I just realized the time change wasn't considered. Almost drove to a funeral arriving 2 hours early unintentionally. This would increase clarity and confidence in arrive time. 🙏🏾

You mean you are working on adding 4 lines of code???
