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!

Garmin GPS did this 10 years ago, why can't a tech app do the same?

This is a no brainer!! Airlines do it and so should all gps.

Silly. Arrival time should always be arrival time locally at the destination Either way currently it is unacceptably unclear and took a fair amount of digging to figure out the current behavior. When you enter a trip across time zones, either way there should be a comment noting this and saying how it's treated.

Exactly, this is such an inconvenience. It's so frustrating please do something about this.

Compared to the parking lot area "feature" that was rolled out this would be a great addition to the app. Understand that some developers aren't in the situation where multiple times zones affect their drives but the whole planned drive doesn't work well if the destination is in a different time zone.

Suggest use this
"Arrival Time Should Reflect Destination Time Zone" -

What kind of GPS app doesn’t understand that you need to know your arrival time in the destination’s time zone? This shouldn’t be a request, it should have been a core feature. Every other gps app works this way. Absolutely absurd, Waze.

This really needs to be a thing…or at least indicate the time zone that the the arrival time is in. I’m struggling with my departure time for this very reason.

easy enough to add an exclusion zone for border counties and flag them

So many votes for such an obvious oversight. Mind boggling that Waze has been too lazy to fix this. ESPECIALLY when sharing my drive with someone in that other time zone. It confuses them so much.

PLEASE ADD THIS ASAP. CAME ON SUPPORT BOX TO FIND/REQUEST THIS SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITY!!!!!

You would think that Waze developers live in a country with only one time zone. ;-)

Such a major bug and presumably simple fix that I've been reporting for years. It makes the arrival time useless when travelling across time zones. I'm sure many people who don't know about this bug make plans with friends at their destination in a time zone east of theirs not knowing that they'll be an hour late until it's too late.

I totally agree… been using Waze more and more and slowly stopping using google but this is now making me want to stop using Waze and use GMaps again. I mean come on… the excuses I have heard from Waze on why they don’t do this are lame. If all other big time navigation companies can do it (GMaps AppleMaps Etc…) then Waze could implement this also. Come on Waze you were doing so good and now this? It’s a feature that we should have access to. If you need to make a disclaimer and also make it where a user can turn on or off then do it. It’s just a total no brained in my opinion 🤨🤨🤨🤨

I agree! Waze you need fix this ASAP! Apple and Google already do this, why are you all so far behind?
