Change Your Departure and Arrival Time
A neat feature Google Maps offers is the possibility to automate the time you’d like to leave or would like to arrive at your destination. This allows you to plan ahead and get ready to leave when Google tells you to.
- To change the time of arrival, you have to search for the location you’d like to go to, then hit Directions.
- Select the three dots in the top right corner.
- Select Set a reminder to leave.
- Now, choose your time to leave or when to arrive at the desired location. Google Maps will tell you the time you should leave to arrive on time.
It’s worth mentioning that this might be subject to change. Google can only do so much, so it estimates the time based on its calculations. But if something happens, like unexpected weather or an accident, Google won’t know about that in advance. Not yet anyway. So it’s better to take its estimated time with a grain of salt and be ready for unexpected changes.
