Time Zones for Planning a Drive
You would think that when you plan a drive and you have to enter the arrival time of your choice that it would take into account different time zones. So if I want to arrive to my destination at 5:45 PM, clearly I mean that time zone. Waze keeps it in the same time zone and unless you are paying super close attention, it’s easy to miss and then you lose an hour because you leave too late if you are going from Central to Eastern and so on and so forth. I’d change that ASAP because it’s a pretty big downfall as other navigation apps do show the correct time zones and Waze does not in this regard.

I have used the planner in my local time zone and it worked pretty well. But the first time we planned a trip from Central to Eastern time zone and had to pick up a person at the airport was when we found out the planner did not account for time change. We were late in picking up the person by 1 hour. Since then, we have travelled through all 4 time zones in the lower 48 states. We still have to remind ourselves that trip planning and ETA needs mental calculation and adjustments. We sometimes bounce between navigation apps to check time and ETA to verify Waze ETA. At least now, no more Daylight Savings Time to worry about.
