I am planning a long road trip down the West Coast through several metro areas. If Waze calculates the route and posts an ETA, it will be based on the current speed of traffic along the way. I could run into rush hour 10 hours later in a city along the route or cruise right through an area that had gridlock earlier in the day. For long trips, Waze should anticipate typical traffic patterns experienced in areas and estimate the delays that will be encountered. It could also suggest the best time to leave to miss the worst traffic or where it would be a good time to take a rest break. It could also make suggestions like, 'Try to arrive in Portland before 3pm to avoid the worst congestion'.
