Unless you work from dwelling house, Google Maps is fantastic at knowing where you need to be, and how long to get there. But yous did the math on when to exit. Thankfully Google can tell you that now too.

Google Maps is excellent for finding directions to the places you need to get, even if that means making multiple stops. And Google is always improving the service, whether that'south calculation commute features or helping you find Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.

The one downside has ever been that unless y'all use the website, you have to figure when to go out on your own. In the Android app, Google historically provided an guess of the travel fourth dimension, just you did the math on what that meant for departure and arrival time. Now in its latest update, you can set up either a depart time or an arrival time, and it volition provide an guess of the other end for you. That is, if you ready a depart fourth dimension it will give yous an approximate of when you should arrive. And if you prepare an arrival fourth dimension, you will receive an estimate on when yous should get out.

Patently, similar near mapping features, this won't exist perfect. If you lot prepare a deviation time for tomorrow, it tin't know about a wreck that may happen during the drive when it provides an estimated arrival time.

How to Set Departure and Arrival Times

First, enter start and finish destinations as you usually would. So tap on the overflow menu.

From in that location, tap on the "Set depart & arrival time" choice.

You lot should offset on the "depart at" tab. If y'all want to set an "arrive past" time, tap on that. Then prepare the time and twenty-four hour period you want to leave or make it.

At that point, yous should at present run into the estimated fourth dimension based on what you lot provided. If you demand to make a change, merely tap on the down arrow next to that time.

As always with any mapping software, use this as a guide and non a difficult hope, especially for long driving trips. Driving weather condition change rapidly, so it never hurts to set for trips to take longer than they should.
