I’m new to Waze. I want to plan a cross country driving trip about 3,000 miles.
I live in S. Cal & when I input an address say in Michigan, Waze comes up with similar streets and names all in CA, but nothing in MI.
Being in CA can I input an out of state address?
Thanks -
Limited to 1000 miles in the US right now because it isn’t a general purpose GPS (yet). Plan your trip in smaller increments and Waze will be usable, until you get into cellular data slow or dead zones. Mapcat and I both had trips across a good part of the US this past summer and had similar, poor experiences.
Thanks. Now that I understand the present limitations I’ll work in smaller increments.
So I guess that means that for now, even if you were traveling in the U.S. by air to say somewhere 2,000 miles away you can’t “pre-program” destinations you will need when you get there like your hotel, office etc ?
Try placing a pin in the city you are going to, set it as starting point and then search address of hotel.

Yes you can add favorites that are far away. You just can’t search for them, you have to go there by scrolling on the map, then long press to get a pop-up.
The only way to add destinations over 1000 miles away is to pan to them and tap-hold the location to add the favorite.

If it looks strange, or I used bad grammar or misspelled anything, it’s my phone’s fault.
Prior to the trip I added all the destinations and other stops as contacts, named them 01, 02, 03, 04 etc, and navigated to the number. Worked great and didn’t get mixed up with other contacts.
I took a cross country trip that I started on October 8th traveling from San Francisco, CA to Raleigh, NC. I drove the northern route on I-80 and I had a poor experience with Waze. The application frequently could not connect to the server. Subsequently I did not receive the points for the trip as well.
Lack of good data coverage is definitely an issue for Waze, which is why it isn’t billed as a general purpose nav app. Yet.
