Using Google Maps to estimate arrival and departure times

Using Google Maps to estimate arrival and departure times

Google Maps can calculate arrival and departure times in the future. I love this feature to help with traffic and to plan ahead. It’s easy to use and you can do it on your desktop or a phone!

on a desktop

Start by putting in your departure and arrival locations, then click “Directions.”

Click “Leave now” which is toward the top left of this photo and has an arrow next to it:

That’s where you can change it to estimate your travel time based on arrival or departure:

As an example, let’s say I want to depart at 10 a.m. on a Sunday (so a few days from now):

You’ll see that once I clicked “Depart at” it let me put in a future date and time. You can pick a day far into the future as well. The times on the left change to reflect Google’s estimate on that date.

As another example, let’s say you want to estimate travel time based on arrival. Click “Arrive by” and pick your date and time, and Google will give you suggestions for when to leave your departure location:

On a phone

Estimating arrival and departure times with Google Maps is very similar to the above on a phone as well.

Open the app and put in your locations. Then click the three dots top right:

Choose “Set depart or arrive time:”

You’ll be able to estimate times just like on a desktop:

Keep in mind these times can change if there’s an unexpected circumstance like an accident. But it’s a great way to help you figure out your trip in advance!

I feel like my life revolves around breastfeeding I feel like my life revolves around breastfeeding right now! 😅🍼 Here’s what a day of nursing and pumping looks like. *Adding: People on TikTok just taught me to squeeze the air bubbles out of the bag before freezing. There's always something new to learn!
