Am I missing something

[Jamie Wooten]

On my older galaxy devices I use to get notified of when to leave for an appointment based on traffic. My note 10 plus isn't doing this. Am I missing a setting? I use this a lot being in real estate. Any help?

Google Maps \ Settings \ Commute Settings...

Yeah I've got that setting. Mines not doing that. I had an S9 before and it would popup and say it'll take xxx minutes to get to your appointment. Google says use At a glance widget but that doesn't work either.

It didnt do that for me for first week or 10 days then it started doing that on its own and since then it's been spot on.

And, to confirm, the notifications for the Google Maps app, is on/active?

Yeah it's on.

Even for events on your calendar?

Tbh I didnt have many event lined up in calendar for that time period as was travelling with family and I dont remember for few events that were there.

So my problem is I'm using Google calendar and have appointments scheduled. I'd like to be notified in the morning of how long it'll take.

Did you go to notifications from within Maps? If you go to Notifications under Settings, All Apps and select Maps, the notifications are different. My time to leave was on, but set to silent. I changed to pop up and worked. Not sure why they are different.

Take a look in Maps -> Settings -> Notifications -> "Getting around" and make sure the option "Time to leave" is enabled.

So I found this and mine was silent too. Changed it and we'll see what happens in the morning. Thanks!

OK so far I'm still not getting alerts of when to leave. Seems minor but I used the feature all the time on my iPhone xs.

 

[Jamie Wooten]

So is anyone else having this issue? I am really missing this feature from my iphone and I thought for sure past Galaxy's did this. I have my calendars sync'd so idk why I'm not getting notified.

I'm seeing the notification from Maps about time to leave for an appointment.

I learned today that I had it set without sound. I changed that and in the process learned which notification it is actually tied to. To make sure that you are getting notification and sound:

1. Press and hold on Maps icon until menu pops up.
2. Click on App info
3. Click on Notifications and make sure that they are allowed
4. Scroll to the bottom to find "Other notifications". Ensure that this is set to "Sound and pop-up".

Ok, I’ll try that. Was there supposed to be a number 5? LOL Thanks again.

No, that is all.

Well I must still be missing something. I've got all the notifications on. Permissions allowed. Still doesn't notify me do I need to be using Google calendar or will it work with the stock one?
