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.

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

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. :(

This has always been a thorn in my side. I agree 100% that the arrival time should be the time at your arrival location! Not the time zone you are currently in. Let me see... Waze says I'll be there at 1pm but, I'm actually crossing 2 time zones so in reality, I'll be there at 11am. Waze should do the math!

It is confusing and very difficult when going over time zones to know if the arrival time is in the current time zone. Waze could solve this by showing the starting time zone, and the time zone of the destination you’re arriving at. It should be similar to airplane flights where the time destination is always shown in the time zone that you’re arriving at.

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!

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. 🙏🏾

Updating the ETA would be much appreciated!! I’d rather use Waze other than Apple Maps. Apple does update the ETS

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

This is the only reason I can't use Waze

Just happened to me. While driving from CST to EDT we wondered if the arrival time took this into account. Another passenger opened Google maps and put in the same destination and IT DID add the hour. So going forward I will be using Google maps when driving across time zones.

For all the cool things Waze does, this one is so basic and needed. At very least add a reminder or notification that time zone is not factored in so we are aware and not arriving late to places! This has caught us off guard a few times and is frustrating.

If my GPS can do it why can't WAZE?

Have app adjust and project leaving and arrival times per time zones

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.

How can you not have this feature when it is one of the most important things for business travelers to know?
Thanks,

This affected our trip and destination tour today. We were late by an hour and needed to reschedule.

Quando viajamos, para pais fuso horario diferente, devia dizer hora de chegada, atualizada com o pais

I travel across time zones frequently for work and this is an issue for me.

I remembered why I stopped using Waze when I traveled across time zones. Only, I remembered AFTER I was late getting somewhere. I planned my trip the night before and was STILL late because WAZE didn’t factor the time change (cst to est).
I wish you would either fix this issue, have an alert pop up when the trip is crossing time zones or put the time zone in the arrival time so those of us that plan to leave ahead of time aren’t missing important events or work.
