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!

It's getting close to 2025 and Waze has not caught up to Google Maps on time zone adjustments

this would be extremely helpful, is it still in the "near future"?

Has this issue been updated yet?

When we put in a destination and there is a time change, it gives us the arrival time of our current location. I would like it to show The time zone of which we are traveling to. Other than that, the app is great.

Kind of wild that in 2024 this still isn't a feature.

Timezone updates while traveling. Option to show ETA in destination time zone.

This can’t be that hard to implement. Waze is the only navigation service I have seen that doesn’t account for it.

From 2022? Is this planned for near future? Pretty straightforward change. I noticed Google navigation supports.

That’s the difference between making a necessary appointment and not. I'm surprised you don’t account for it

It seems like a 2024 update from an admin would be warranted at some point this year.

The arrival time estimate should be in the destination time zone rather than the current one. All other mainstream map solutions account for this.

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

When is this defect going to be fixed?

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.

Easy to have arrival time reflect the time zone you are arriving in!!

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.
