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!

The fact that Waze still cannot adjust for time zone changs is absolutely, positively absurd. No excuses whatsoever. Don't they have people who just sit there and try to figure out how to make it better???? They should be embarassed. EPIC FAIL

Don’t understand why this isn’t at least an option. It can’t be THAT difficult to implement

Uh, remember Waze is free. And it only monitors up to date traffic, ALL OVER THE FLIPPIN GLOBE, SO STOP YOUR WHINING!!!!
However why in the name of everything you call holy does this app not adjust time for time zones when planning drives. It's like building a thermometer that has no where to read the temperature.
Ridiculous. -

I'm going to echo what many others have said: not accounting for the DESTINATION time zone makes showing an ETA utterly useless.
There have been several times when I've forgotten about this behavior (since Waze is the only app I've used that fails to account for time changes) and wound up giving friends the wrong ETA which causes serious problems with reservations and other planning!

OH. EM. GEE. I CANNOT BELIEVE WAZE DOESN'T ADJUST FOR TIME ZONES. HOW HARD CAN IT BE? SO SUPER DUMB.

Apple maps adjusts for time zone changes. I guess Waze developers aren't as intelligent as Apple developers. 🙄

Can you bring standard time and not military time please to the app .

At minimum show the time zone next to the arrival time so you can quickly tell that Waze doesn't do the adjustment for you.

Agreed! Time zone support is necessary in the app

Why would you not calculate for time zones? Do you realize people drive distances for parties? Especially surprises? Interviews? Appointments? FLIGHTS????? Google maps and apple’s navigation accounts for time zone changes. And considering how many people have left this in the suggestion box before me, you should attend to it before people stop using your app altogether.

Google maps adjusts and Google owns Waze, this is ridiculous and needs to be fixed

Hard to believe something so basic is still missing. Simple solution: show the time zone with the ETA. E.g.:
ETA 1:49 PM EDT
ETA 3:26 PDT
ETA 4:20 CST -

We need this feature on Waze bcz we use it for work. We have to have the correct ETA times for our loads. Being late isn’t good for our business.

You guys should DEFINITELY factor in time zone changes into arrival times. That screwed me from getting to a flight on time.

I live in CST, but a short drive puts me into EST, which is where most of my travels are. This would be a HUGE improvement.
