===== Maximum search distance =====
==== Navigate, Preview map, More ====
Currently Waze is limited to routing up to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers). When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer until you are less than the limit when you can plug in the final destination. This distance may be increased with future Waze routing and application updates.
