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.

You should take into account time zone changes when calculating time of arrival at a location. This would be really helpful.

Yikes! Just realized this was a problem while coordinating a Surprise welcome home party :-(
Expected the times worked like airplane tickets - arrival and departure times always refer to time zone of the location being referenced.

Made plans about route based on arrival time at destination in Waze (2pm, for a muse that closes at 5). However, after 30 mins of traffic, 30 mins at a stop, and crossing the time zone line, our arrival is now 4 pm - which likely means we won't get into the museum until 30 mins before they close. We would chosen a shorter route home if we had known, since the museum is out of our way.
I LOVE Waze and am a long time user/fan - can't believe this simple feature isn't implemented. (simple for Google...)
Should include an option to disable the feature for folks who skip across time lines a lot.

I would really like if at the end of each trip a bubble appeared and said how much time the entire trip took, since in middle of the trips there may be ETA changes and recalculations so it is hard to know how long it really took...
Thank you -

Agree. It is very frustrating. We're on a east to west and back epic road trip and cross time zones most days. It is not that difficult an issue and I'm surprised it is not embedded in the app.

It is completely absurd that the estimated time of arrival Waze gives is based on the time zone you are currently in as opposed to the one you are traveling to. When you cross over the line between time zones, you will find the ETA changes by an hour (or however much time separates the time zones). Who care what time it is in the place you are traveling from when you arrive at your destination? You care what time it will be at your destination when you arrive. Huge glitch!

I go from South Carolina to Mississippi and back a good bit. I would love to see the arrival time as the current time in the destination.

Absolute Waze should reflect the actual time of arrival in a different time zone. We drive from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Lafayette, Indiana, Four hour drive, different time zone, confusing to figure out actual arrival time at host's house.

wow, seems like calculations should be based on UTC rather than local time!

This is kinda obvious that this should be included in the app

Definitely seems helpful.

I agree. Would seem to be a necessary feature for those crossing time zones regularly.

This would actually be really helpful for the new Planned Drives feature.

This would be a really great feature. Any idea when Waze will start working on it? Thanks.

I 100% agree! I have to make relatively short trips (less than 3hrs) in between time zones for work all the time and it is always a headache to figure out when I need to leave to make it to my meetings in time. Would be a really helpful tool for me and others.

For those with child, they always ask if a long way are. an option where the child himself asked: "how far" and waze answer a number from one to ten (or something configurable). in a 100 km trip my son asks it about 15 times.

Cross country driving would be much easier if you showed the local time in the ETA.

Sometimes I want to compare two different routes during different times. Therefore, it's good to have a log of how long the journey actually took or analytics to show, on average, how long the journey usually took.

It's very confusing to be in a different time zone & have waze still report in home time zone I.e. I'm in Chicago & waze adds an hour to all my destinations.
