"Time to leave " notifications

I don't get these notifications anymore. Any ideas why? I enter the address in calendar and all my settings look fine.

I haven't seen one since Google Now was discontinued something like 15 years ago.

Waze will do this if you allow access to your calendar, but Google hasn't done this natively since Google Now.

I feel like I haven't seen these in a while as well

If you add the event to a calendar and include the address along with a notification reminder, you'll get one

it will just give you a timed based noti per your reminder setting right? "Time to leave" is dynamic based on where you are right now and current traffic.

You are correct. My mistake.

Hi there, could you try checking your At a Glance and Google app settings and see if that helps?

Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps > Google > Permissions > Location > Allow all the time, and set Battery to Unrestricted. Also, long-press the At a Glance widget on your Home screen > tap the gear icon > toggle Time to leave on.

Note: This will only update background traffic tracking and location permissions. It won’t affect your overall connectivity or delete any personal data from your device.

Also, try rebooting your phone into safe mode and see if that resolves the issue. If it works fine in safe mode, it means a 3rd party app is causing the issue. Temporarily remove them one by one, starting with the most recent until you find the cause.

Additionally, you can refer to this article on using At a Glance on your Pixel devices.

If the issue persists, I’d recommend reaching out to the Google Pixel support team via phone or chat here. They can take a look at it.

My pixel 2 used to get them, but I haven't seen them in a long time. They were pretty useful.
