Get “Time to leave” notifications
“Time to leave” notifications tell you when it’s the best time to leave. They’re based on real-time traffic conditions and expected drive time.
To get them:
- Make sure your calendar event has a navigable address in the location field, including street name, house number, and city.
Note: If you see an option to Set address on the “Planned drives” screen, it means the address was entered incorrectly and no reminder will be sent. To set a navigable address:
- Tap
- Tap the event
OR
- Tap
- Tap Plan a drive
- Tap Set address
- In your phone’s settings, check that Waze’s location permission is set to "Allow all the time" (Android) or "Always" (iOS) – Learn how
